Raza Odiada (which translates in English as "Hated Race") is a song critical of
Pete Wilson and his opposition to
illegal immigration and to racial preferences. The song features ex-
Dead Kennedys vocalist
Jello Biafra as the voice of
Pete Wilson. "La Migra" is a song about illegal immigration and
corruption. "Revolución" is a pro-
Zapatista song. A music video was released for the song "La Ley De Plomo", which received rotation on
MTV.
It features three tracks originally appearing on the 7" singles El Patrón ("El Patrón" and "Hermanos Menéndez"), and ¡Machetazos! ("Padre Nuestro") on
Alternative Tentacles. The cover features a photograph of
Subcomandante Marcos, then-spokesperson and one of the leaders of the
Zapatista Army of National Liberation.
