Review: IZAL: Autoterapia Having seen the announcement in a magazine about the favourite album of all time, without a moment’s hesitation I knew what album I would write about, what album fills me with excitement every time I listen to it and doesn´t cease to amaze me with is awesomeness. It is a new album called Autoterapia of a Spanish indie-rock band IZAL. The album was released in March of this year and one may argue that it is too new to be attributed a title of the best album of all time but let me tell you about it in more detail. The album has 11 wonderful songs, each of them unique in its own way. There are energetic, stimulating songs of bubbly indie rock that you can´t resist dancing along to. They have catchy melodies that make you hum along even if you don’t speak Spanish (invent the lyrics, carry the rhythm!). To listen to such songs as “El Ruido Blanco” and “La increíble historia del hombre que podia volar pero no sabía como” is the best start of the day. At the same time there are sad, calming songs which give you a sense of tranquility and comfort you as if someone were hugging your soul. Each song has profound lyrics filled with sumptuous metaphors which hide a lot of wisdom. In their songs the band raise a lot of actual deep problems that concern all of us – break-ups, loneliness, fears of not being accepted by the society and how our society has become so shitty, and that personal battle that we all have to go through on a daily basis. The lyrics possess emotional power and catalyze your thoughts – something you are unlikely to experiment while listening to the majority of the modern songs. I find this album to be one of the most wonderful albums that have ever been released and I promise you won´t regret listening to it.
