As one of the major forms of music to gain the world’s attention, rock n roll has always been a part of Puerto Rico’s mainstream. However, it was in the 1990s and 2000s where the genre saw its last light of big success. Nevertheless, bands on the independent scene are still exploring the sound to create their own paths towards glory. One of the groups to recently release a project with the spirit of the 1990s and 2000s rock n roll explosion was Imāgenes with their project Grita. Throughout the entirety of Imāgenes’ Grita one can find the love and passion the musicians have for the rock n roll that exploded in the 1990s and 2000s while also giving it their own take. With songs like “A mi sólo me quiere mi perro,” “Vive” and “Escucha Esto,” the band displays the spirit they wish to keep alive while providing a bit of commentary on the current state of music. Despite the project sounding a bit formulaic, one can definitely see how fans of 1990s and 2000s rock n roll, especially pop and alternative rock, can find a spot for this album to be in their collections and playlists. Moreover, one can even see how this album might even have some play on the radio as many of the tunes have easy access. Overall, Imāgenes’ Grita isn’t looking to change the wheel on what rock n roll is, but rather pays tribute to the sound that the musicians grew up loving. In sum, it is simply a reminder that the genre is still alive and that this particular sound has a place in the scene.
