As a matter of fact, one of the album highlights, "Nada," sounds like something taken straight from the Soda Stereo songbook circa Canción Animal (1990). More than anything, however, it's reminiscent of Soda Stereo, the influential Argentine alternative rock band from the '80s and '90s led by Gustavo Cerati, whom Zoé toured with in 2006. Indeed, the musical style of Zoé here on Reptilectric is somewhat reminiscent of the type of early-'90s alternative rock that Vinall had produced for Placebo, Gene, and the Auteurs. For the third album in a row, Zoé collaborate with British producer Phil Vinall and come up with a psychedelic space rock style heavy on drums and synthesizer in addition to guitar. Zoé's fourth album, Reptilectric more or less follows in the same direction as its predecessor, Memo Rex Commander y el Corazón Atómico de la Vía Láctea (2006), which had taken them to the top of the Mexican albums chart, established them as one of the top rock en español bands in the world, and earned them almost universal critical acclaim.
