After a wildly successful tour across South America in late 2005, the band decided, in their own words, to "stop for a while". Some of their members went on to form side band projects such as No Relax and The Locos. As time went by without further notices, many Ska-P fans feared the band had been gone for good. On late April 2008 and for the rejoice of their worldwide fans, they announced their return as a band on their official site.
Their new album, "Lágrimas y gozos", was released the 7th of October 2008 and its first single is called "Crimen sollicitationis". The band is going to perform various shows around South America and Europe in November and December.

El Autentico
Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Estábamos tranquilos en la barra del bar
Atención, que hace aparición el pregonero de la crítica
Siempre jodiendo la manta
Eres una especie de tortura mental
El auténtico, espabilao, ten cuidao, que ya ha llegao
El juicio ya va a comenzar
Oh no , es el auténtico
Esparces tus heces orales
Condenas a la gente que no es como tú
Tu descripción de la libertad, idiota , deja mucho que desear
Oye, opinas o impones?
Tienes un problema a la hora de razonar
Parece ser que oyes mal, que no quieres escuchar
Lo que opinan los demás
Aha, qué fácil es hablar por hablar
Aha, poder dirigir en la barra del bar
Aha, eres el dios de la necedad
Aha, fuera de aquí, piérdete ya
Oh no , es el auténtico
Trabajas pa' hacer una secta
Buscando nueva gente a la que contaminar
Patético, llamas la atención, porque ya nadie te quiere escuchar
Eres como una almorrana,
Como un dolor de muelas que no cesa jamás
Flagélate, opérate, olvídame, muérete
Déjame pensar en paz
Aha, qué fácil es hablar por hablar
Aha, poder dirigir en la barra del bar
Aha, eres el dios de la necedad
Aha, fuera de aquí, piérdete ya
Se acerca a la puerta, atención que se va
Toda la peña comenzó a bailar
Se ha dado la vuelta y ahora viene hacia mí
Maldito hijo de puta, déjame vivir
Oh no, es el auténtico
The lyrics of "El Autentico" by Ska-P reflect a feeling of annoyance towards a person who thinks they're always right and imposes their opinions on others. The song begins with the appearance of this person, who is referred to as "el auténtico" and is known for always criticizing and causing trouble. The singer compares their attitude to a mental torture and warns others to be careful around them. The chorus repeats the phrase "Oh no, es el autentico" to emphasize their annoyance and frustration.
The lyrics also criticize the autentico's tendency to spread verbal excrement and condemn those who don't share their beliefs. They describe the autentico's definition of freedom as lacking and question whether they are truly giving their opinion or imposing it on others. The lyrics suggest that the autentico has a problem with listening to others and is more interested in being heard themselves. The frustration reaches a boiling point towards the end of the song when the autentico approaches the singer and is told to "get lost."
Overall, "El Autentico" is a critique of those who impose their beliefs on others and are not open to hearing different opinions. The song highlights the annoyance and frustration that such people can cause and serves as a warning to those who interact with them.
