Para Ti Con Desprecio (Spanish for For You, With Disregard) is the third studio album by Mexican rock band Panda, released on May 11, 2005 by Movic Records and Warner Music Mexico, making it their major-label debut record.
Produced by Adrian Treviño and recorded between October 2004 and December 2004, the album marked a major departure from the band's already established humorous pop punk style that had launched the band into domestic success.
Following its release, the band came under fire from the media and general public due to plagiarism accusations, allegedly some of the songs off of the album contained lyrics, bass and guitar riffs that belonged to songs from other mainstream rock acts such as MxPx, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Fall Out Boy and many others since their debut album. The track Miedo A Las Alturas (Fear of Heights) first verse and chorus being a literal translation and paraphrasing of the song It's Not A Fashion Statement, It's A Deathwish by American rock band My Chemical Romance. Further controversy surrounding the album circled around their radical image and sound change, to the point of being lumped and pigeonholed under the emo label.
Despite the controversies received, the album was released to critical acclaim by newcomer fans and Latin American music critics, it reached top 5 and top 10 lists of Mexican music charts, it was a moderate commercial success and catapulted the band into mainstream success, especially in the United States and European countries, where the band had been previously unable to reach. The album's logo that was used in the album artwork also became a precursor to the band's iconic "PXNDX" logo that would be used in every single one of their follow-up albums.
Composition and lyrics[]
The band drastically evolved out of the silly, simplistic teenage pop punk formula, experimenting with different tunes and arrangements. The content on the record is immensely darker and heavier than the first two albums; it's considered post-hardcore and emo, remainings of alternative rock, pop punk with scenic goth-pop. The album's primarily theme are narrated in 15 tracks over feelings of revenge, sadness after an intense relationship and betrayal since the core of such topics are being found in singer Madero's personal life (who recently cut ties with his significant other, at the moment).
"During the early days crafting the album we where writing songs just for the sake to write them. We had something like "Don't Blame Me For Being Cute", so stupid; and after opening concerts for Blink-182 in Mexico, something went really wrong with the girl who was my fiancée. I wanted retribution, but I wasn't planning on throwing eggs to her house or kidnapping her brother. That's when I said "I'll make a record to let everyone know what a shit of a person you are." It seemed like a great idea to me." said Madero during an interview.[1]
Madero and co. had already wrriten material for their next effort but rejected everything and re-wrote it all over again.
