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.

Ska-P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mari Loli siempre compra lo mejor
Eh-oh, culo veo, eh-oh culo quiero
Se pasa la noche entera viendo la teletienda
Presa de la publicidad que le incita a pecar
Y si quiere ser un ciudadano 10
No deje de comprar siempre la novedad
Y si no dispone de liquidez
Le daré una pista, yo también soy prestamista
Mari Loli se tiene que endeudar
Un mar de letras no le deja respirar
Eh-oh, que cagada, eh-oh, está enganchada
Se gasta la pasta en cosas que no valen "pa" nada
Horas extras tendrá que echar y un nuevo crédito solicitar
Y si quiere ser un ciudadano 10
No deje de comprar siempre la novedad
Y si no dispone de liquidez
Le daré una pista, yo también soy prestamista
Cuidao! Maria Dolores, esta gente no es de fiar
Cuidao! Maria Dolores, estafadis sodomiza sin lubricar
Oh eh oh, oniomanos domesticados
Oh eh oh, que nunca dejen de gastar
Oh eh oh, exprimiremos sus salarios
Oh eh oh, la deuda no les deja pensar
Cuidao! Maria Dolores, esta gente no es de fiar
Cuidao! Maria Dolores, estafadis sodomiza sin lubricar
Oh eh oh, oniomanos domesticados
Oh eh oh, que nunca dejen de gastar
Oh eh oh, exprimiremos sus salarios
Oh eh oh, a gusto del consumidor
The lyrics of Ska-P's song "Oniomanos" depict a character named Mari Loli who is addicted to shopping. The song mocks the consumerist culture and the constant pursuit of material possessions. Mari Loli is portrayed as someone who always buys the best products, influenced by advertisements that encourage her to sin (indulge in excessive purchasing).
The lyrics emphasize how Mari Loli's addiction leads her to be in debt, drowning in a sea of letters (referring to the letters of credit or debt). Despite this, she continues to be hooked on shopping and spends money on things that are ultimately worthless. The song suggests that she will have to work extra hours and take out new loans to sustain her lifestyle.
Overall, the lyrics criticize the consumerist mentality and the pressure to constantly buy new and trendy items. It highlights the consequences of this behavior, such as financial struggles and an inability to think beyond consumption.
