Témpano - El Tercer Lado (1988)

 

The sixth album from this band from Venezuela.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, percussion, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

One guest added bass.

The band debuted with a pretty good symphonic prog album before they did a Genesis and became a dull pop-rock band. Some horrible bad albums then followed.

The thirty-six minutes long El Tercer Lado sees the band again exploring in the Latin pop-genre.

The music is melodic with some good Spanish vocals and musicianships.

Some of the songs are pretty catchy. Unfortunate for us listeners, there are a couple of teenybopper pop pieces here too. The sound is the typical 1980s plastic fantastic sound. 

Some of the music is rather decent though and this is therefore a half-decent album and a bit of an improvement from their previous albums. 

1.5 points
