Just a bloated and disappointing mess of an album. Sold as a sequel to 2016's Palermo Hollywood, this feels more like a collection of B-sides from that record, mixed with more timely politically-themed songs that are clearly not as inspired by Argentinian music as the last record. Volver just is not the streamlined and focused experience that was the last album, the lyrics are not as well thought-out, and the even more dense instrumental approach does not feel natural in the slightest. Also, Biolay's tuneless vocals do not help. The sad thing is, as a 10-track record, this would probably be really good, if unambitious, because there are some incredible songs on here, most notably in the front half. However, the ill-advised experimentation and lack of inspiration in the second half just do no favor to this record.
