[edit] Backstory and Reception

The famous introductory scene of the song "Día Cero", which remains a classic song of the band, and as one of their best songs

After the death of the band's founder, Andres Bobe, many fans and critics agreed in the fact that the band could not sustain itself without the band's founder. Still, the band was able to go Viña del Mar and played one last concert, promoting their upcoming songs. However, the album was far from completed due to the sadness and pressure from the audience.

However, Beto Cuevas says that one night in one of his dreams, Andres appeared driving a car, with Beto asking how could he do it if he was death, to what Andres responded "You can see me, but to the rest of the world, I am just Invisible". This inspired Beto in writing songs like "Invisible" and "Día Cero." As a result in 1995 (though the album was waited for 1994) the album was released with the first single "El Duelo", which exceed the expectations of the band, and quickly crawled to the first position in most of the charts especially in Mexico and Chile.

The band was making themselves notorious as they have already move to Mexico, where surely they will have better chances to widespread themselves. Shortly after, they released "Día Cero" which was an immediate success, and remains to this date one of the best songs of the group, and one of their classics. After some time, they released the third single "Hombre", with images of a tour they made around the United States.

Scene from the video of "Cielo Market", which is also considered a classic of the group.

For the first and only time, La Ley released two singles more, which brings their total singles to five. The following singles were "Cielo Market" (a song that talks about people's selfishness about pharandole), and "1-800 Dual" which talks about what happens late at night in stripper's clubs and bars.

The album is still considered by many the band's best album, and is their second best selling album (with "La Ley MTV Unplugged" being first.) Some of the songs of the album, which were not even release as singles, are considered also La Ley's classic. A clear example of this, is the song "Animal." The album sold in its first months, 400,000 only in Mexico.
