Y Ahora Qué?

Album Summary

¿Y ahora qué? is the ninth album by the Spanish rock band Reincidentes. Released by the label BMG Ariola/RCA in the year 2000 and produced, like all of the band’s work, by Juanjo Pizarro, it was the first record they put on the market after their sales success Algazara, which reached gold status after selling more than 50,000 units. It was also the band’s last album with that multinational label. The songs on the album continue with the band’s characteristic protest tone, and for the first time they included a track sung in Basque, Un pueblo, which called for a solution to the Basque Country conflict and was conceived by the group as a tribute to their fans in that region. The song ¡Ay Dolores! aims to raise awareness of the problem of gender-based violence, serving as an anthem for women’s liberation. It features the participation of a string quartet, and in the final part flamenco guitars, handclaps, and jaleos (flamenco shouts) can be heard. The album, which sold 35,000 copies within three months of its release, also included collaborations with Fermín Muguruza and Amparo Llanos of the band Dover.

Nice punkrock album from Sevilla. Not that special to me, but it’s a pleasure to listen to nonetheless.

Had fun listening to this. Not sure if this is the best Spain has to offer, but it was entertaining.

This wasn’t at all what I was expecting. I guess it shows to never judge a book by its cover, but based on the band name and album title, I was expecting something along the lines of the Gipsy Kings or some other flamenco. Definitely wasn’t expecting some alt punk! Great vocals, great guitars. Banger of an album.

Punky, dramatic, heavy -- nice mix of styles, enjoyed the energy. Didn't really hit it out of the park for me but I'm happy to have listened once.

Kinda cute. Rocks a bit harder than the last Spanish band featured on this list (Duncan Dhu) but is still rather light on the rock and roll spectrum. My Spanish is quite poor, so I cannot speak to the lyrics much. The melodies are fun if unremarkable.

Solid punk rock. I feel like it's a musical idiom that the romance languages don't really lend themselves to, and I wasn't picking up much of the lyrics, but they sounded good nonetheless.

Spanish punk rock. Fun, but does have a bit of that 90s/00s "album too long" disease

Great rock LP, at times felt like it was dipping into hardcore before pulling back into a few other genres. A bit long for the melodic content it has to share, but still a much-needed international pick for the list.

I would have gotten more out of this album without the language barrier, but it has great energy. They could have dropped a couple of songs to make it tighter though. Fave Songs: No normal, Ya está bien, ¡Ay Dolores!, En una patera

Pretty fun Spanish rock, that would have worked better if it was 10-15 minutes shorter.

I'm conflicted on this one. It has its moments, but ultimately not enough of those 2 minute songs. It just doesn't grab me enough. Too rock leaning for my taste. When it comes to Spanish punk, I prefer Depressing Claim.

wtf is this album cover lol. I'm gonna guess punk or hardcore, probably Latin America. Well, just call me Nostradamus. Actually it's Spain, but meh. Pretty average, amateur. 2/5.

This was a decent Spanish punk rock album. The obvious drawback is I have no idea what they’re angry about. The instrumentals were solid and it had a good punk feel that wasn’t too intense. I’m sure if I knew what was going on this would get 3 stars. 5.4/10

This is pretty good if generic Spanish punk rock, but man, the production is ASS and has ZERO sauce. The entire album comes off as extremely flat and boring because of it. Maybe if I understood the lyrics it would have stood out more to me. "Ay Dolores" was great though.
