Production edit

The album was recorded in various cities with producers KC Porter, Macaco, and Richard Blair.[5]

Critical reception edit

The Washington Post wrote that "it's a breathtakingly ambitious recording, and it works because the band doesn't jump from style to style but fuses them into a fresh, coherent sound."[7] CMJ New Music Monthly called the album "ravenous, rowdy pop giddily blurring the lines between genres."[8] Billboard deemed it "100% Nuyorican worldbeat."[9] The Chicago Tribune wrote that "the song cycle ends in a happy revolution, way over the top, romantic and cynical all at once."[10] The Arizona Republic wrote: "Each cut is an addictive, sarcastic fiesta in itself. Mucho percussion. Mucho horns. Mucho cajones."[11]
