The mightiest alterlatino album in many years. The sound is more rock-oriented and vibrant, and the band has actually learned to write songs.
-
Something new has been born here; its parents are every form of dance and many forms of rock, and it rolls.

Entertainment WeeklyGives Kinky's vacuum-tight sound some breathing room. [5 Dec 2003, p.98]
-
SpinSure to rule clubs and fashion runways from Milan to Monterrey. [Jan 2004, p.100]
-
BlenderThe most original spin on indie-pop in years. [Dec 2003, p.140]

Tito Puente meets Daft Punk!
-
With Atlas, Latin rock quintet Kinky move closer to actual rock than the electronic pop of their 2001 debut allowed.
-
Electronic music that genuinely rocks.
-
Alternative PressAtlas may lack the overall inventiveness of Kinky's self-titled debut, but the album still finds the Mexican electro-funk rockers in fine form. [Feb 2004, p.88]
-
UrbAs sophomore albums go, Atlas is far from sophomoric. [Feb 2004, p.79]
-
Kinky, however, gets tangled up when they attempt to rock out in English, and the odd rhymes and dated '80s vibe taint their musical revolution.
-
Kinky's stylish, easygoing concoctions offer a pleasant diversion, but they are too lightweight to match the creative ambition of the better Latin bands out there.
-
UncutIt's a less daring enterprise overall. [May 2004, p.106]
-
They can surely do far, far better.
