Porfiado

The album followed the changes in the line-up of the band that happened during the recording of their previous album Bipolar (2009), where guitarist Ricardo Musso left the band while Gustavo Antuña and Santiago Marrero joined in the guitar and keyboards respectively, Porfiado was the first album of the band with their new five-member formation. The album has been often considered as the end of a trilogy of albums, containing Raro (2006) and Bipolar (2009). To promote the album, the band performed at the Estadio Luna Park in Buenos Aires, Argentina on June 22, 2012.{{cite web|url=https://tn.com.ar/musica/noticias/2012/04/16/el-cuarteto-de-nos-se-la-juega-con-porfiado/|title=El Cuarteto de Nos se la juega con "Porfiado" ==Composition==

The album is composed by twelve tracks, ten written by Roberto Musso and two by Santiago Tavella, both members of the band. The name of the album, "porfiado" ("obstinate" in English), relates to the obsessive characters that appear throughout the songs as well as the themes of vengeance, like in the song "Buen día Benito", about the obsession of a man with a former classmate he wants to take revenge on, and obstination, which appears in "Algo mejor que hacer", that features the lines "seré un quedado pero acá me quedo, y no intenten alterar mi estado" ("I might be an idle but here I stay, and don't try to alter my state"). Mainly an alternative rock album, Porfiado also features various genres of music such as ska in "Algo mejor que hacer", hip hop in "Cuando sea grande" and cumbia in "Enamorado tuyo". ==Critical reception==

Writing for the Argentine edition of Rolling Stone, Humphrey Inzillo gave the album four out of five stars, commenting that with the album "the musical personality of Cuarteto de Nos remains chameleonic". Luis Paz from Argentine newspaper Página 12 wrote that "with this album, the band closes a trilogy started by Raro and Bipolar, characterized by the sound power and Roberto Musso's capacity for special and very personal lyrics". ==Track listing==
