The story behind
Al final, according to DoReSol
The song Al Final, with its 5 minutes and 7 seconds duration, is taken from the album Uno, released in February of the year 2000. This work marked a turning point for La Ley, being the first recorded after the departures of Rodrigo Aboitiz and Luciano Rojas. The band continued as a trio, and for the bass parts, they added the collaboration of Archie Frugone. Later, J.C. Cumplido, who had already accompanied them on tours, joined more stably until 2001, being later replaced again by Frugone. In sonic terms, Uno moved away from the darker, industrial-tinged atmospheres of Vértigo, as well as the grunge-influenced style of Invisible. Instead, they adopted a more direct alternative rock proposal, reducing ambient and experimental sounds.
The path that led La Ley to Uno was marked by constant evolution. After a first album that did not have the expected impact, Desiertos from 1989, they found their direction with Doble Opuesto in 1990. Singles like Desiertos, Tejedores de Ilusión, and Prisioneros de la Piel catapulted them to fame in Chile, Argentina, and Mexico. The self-titled album La Ley, from 1992, consolidated their success. The departure of Andrés Bobe in 1994 was a hard blow, but with Pedro Frugone on guitar, they released two more albums. Invisible, from 1995, marked their great international leap, becoming their best-selling album up to that point, and included songs like Día Cero and El Duelo. Before Vértigo, Rodrigo Aboitiz left the group, and Luciano Rojas also left mid-tour to form Saiko with him. With these changes, La Ley's music became more rock-oriented and less experimental, abandoning their dark aesthetic. While this did not attract all of their original followers, subsequent albums, such as Uno and Libertad (2003), solidified their position as a relevant band in Latin America, each earning a Latin Grammy. In 2001, they also participated in an MTV Unplugged.
