Los Prisioneros is the fifth studio album of the Chilean band Los Prisioneros, released in early June 2003.

Background

It had been 13 years since the last album recorded by the band, and was much anticipated. Reception from the public was superb with the album reaching record sales in two days, all over the country. The album, like their predecessors, addressed political issues and social criticism, with most songs also penned by band leader Jorge Gonzalez. Three months after the release, Claudio Narea left the band definitively due tensions with González. This raised inquisitiveness in the media, so much so that in a press conference, Jorge Gonzalez reacted to journalists' questions hitting and knocking microphones down. Therefore, the album was released amidst tensions, little promotional work was done, and singles and video clips release was limited (videoclips were recorded only for "Ultra Derecha" and "San Miguel"). Because the band, without Narea, decided to focus on a new album and finding a replacement guitarist (Álvaro Henríquez took the role for 4 months), this album ended up being the least known of the group's career.
