"Absolutely nothing in the world could've prepared me for this band. They have great vocals, great guitars, an original sound, and a really clever name that fits them just right. When you hear Christian's screams, you may be afraid, but it's a good type of fear. go and get it. it's worth your money. I never regretted buying this CD. ever.1. God Save Us (10/10): This is the first song i heard from these guys after someone told me about em and it's my 3rd favorite on the album. solid.2. If You Still Hate Me (10/10) The guitar buildup before the chorus is just awesome. The lyrics are great too.3. Unreal (9/10) This is the only song that took some getting used to. Now I think it's great. 4. Nothing's Clear (10/10) Great acoustic intro and then it quickly switches back and forth between acoustic, synth, and numetal guitars. Also Christian Machado's vocals are great, switchin off between smooth and screams, English and Spanish.5. What Comes Around (10/10) My second favorite song on this album. It's fun to play on guitar and the rapping is great. Roger Vasquez plays the tribal drums like a lead instrument and gives the verses it's flavor. The bass stands out a lot too. Also The bridge is awesome.6. Liar (10/10) The second song I heard from these guys. My friend got the Ozzfest comp and this song was on there. tight song.7. Rumba (10/10) Now this is music. The intro stands out a lot in this song and the guitar is great. hella fast and great.8. Predisposed (9/10) Another "intro stands out" song, but it's a little too slow for me. still good though.9. I Am Loco (10/10) Tied for 1st favorite. It may be slow, but the lyrics are awesome and the guitars are excellent.10. No Murder (10/10) It took me 2 weeks to get how to play this song (it normally takes me a few minutes) A good message in a heavy song.11. Rip Out Your Eyes (10/10) The other tie for first. Every time I pick up my guitar I have to play this song. Christian's vocals are just incredible.12. Revolution/Revolucion (9.5/10) The title song and it kicks a**. but not as much as the others13. With You (9.5/10)It has a great latin sound in guitar and drums, and great vocals from Christian, but it would've been better if they had a few Spanish vocals.14. Fallen (4.5/10) Oh, come on. Ill Nino had a good streak going and they ruin it with this: A standard Numetal song with no originality.15. Eye for an Eye (10/10) They sound awesome live and this Soulfly cover proves it. I can't decide which version's better. I like em both.16. God Save Us live (10/10) Like I said, they're awesome live and they live up to that reputation with this.17. What comes Around spanish (10/10) Lucky me, I'm Mexican, so I can understand the lyrics. They're a little different than the English version, but still, it's great.18. Unreal spanish (10/10) (^see above^)It also has the videos for What comes around (pretty cool) and Unreal (live) Just get this CD. You won't be sorry."

The best of the best!!!!!

"I can't say that Ill Niño is my favorite band simply because Metallica will always reign number 1 in my books. But thats like saying your dude is your best friend. He should always know that your girlfriend comes first. Same with me and Metallica. Metallica is an unspoken God. But beside that fact, Ill Niño is my favorite band. They simply kick .... They are very very very agressive with the way Christian Machado sings and screams/growls. He is by far the best at what he does. I love the way they are so melodic yet the heaviest mainstream band around if you even want to say that they are mainstream. But, in simple words, pick up the album Revolution/Revolucion. You won't be dissapointed."
