Produced by Adrian Treviño, the album marked a major departure from the band's established humorous style.

Following its release, the band came under fire from the media and general public due to plagiarism accusations, claiming some of the old and new songs contained lyrics, bass riffs and guitar parts that belonged to songs from other mainstream rock acts such as MxPx, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Fall Out Boy and many others, since their debut album.[4] The track "Miedo A Las Alturas" also generated discussion, with its verse and chorus being a literal translation and paraphrasing of the song "It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Fucking Deathwish" by American rock band My Chemical Romance.

Despite the controversies, the album was released to critical acclaim by Latin American music critics and newcomer fans, reaching top 5 and top 10 in Mexican music charts. It was a moderate commercial success and catapulted the band into mainstream success, especially in the United States and European countries, where the band had been previously unable to reach. The album's logo that was used in the album artwork also became a precursor to the band's iconic "PXNDX" logo that would be used in every single one of their follow-up albums.

Composition and lyrics

edit

Madero said, "During the early days crafting the album we where writing songs just for the sake to write them. We had something like 'Don't Blame Me For Being Cute' [No Me Culpes Por Ser Tan Bello], so stupid; and after opening concerts for Blink-182 in Mexico, something went really wrong with the girl who was my fiancée. I wanted retribution, but I wasn't planning on throwing eggs to her house or kidnapping her brother. That's when I said 'I'll make a record to let everyone know what a shit of a person you are', and it seemed like a great idea to me".[5]

Madero and bandmates had already written material for their next effort but rejected everything and re-wrote it all over again.[6]
