'Re' fuses just about everything - a bit of funk, metal, noise, latin-pop etc. At the end of the day, it's still more or less 'pop' but I think they pulled it off well. The vocals/accent might take time for us outsiders to get used to, but since you do know spanish and are aware of the accents, I guess it shouldn't be much of a problem.

YouTube - Cafe Tacuba El Ciclon
YouTube - metro de stgo y cafe tacuba (A typical poppish song...ignore the video I suppose)
I love Cafe Tacuba! Re is a great album but I have to say the production hurts it a bit. I think Reves/Yo Soy is their real magnum opus. I like Avalancha de Exitos a lot too. Have you ever heard their self-titled first album? That's just freaking awful, I'm glad they improved so much after it.
