“Prueba de eco” es el título de un álbum de una de mis bandas favoritas, Rush. Aunque por la mayoría en mayor parte, no me gusta ese álbum, contiene una canción que me gusta mucho, lo que la cual se llama “Resistir”. Sin embargo, prefiero la versión acústica de “Rush en Río”.
“Test for echo” is the title of an album from one of my favorite bands, Rush. Even though, for the most part, I do not like that album, it contains a song that I like a lot, which is called “Resist”. Nevertheless, I prefer the acoustic version from “Rush in Rio”.
