This is steadily getting better and better, my favourite is easily the short 'Black Box Messiah', bloody brilliant 
It was the only song I didn't quite like at first, but after hearing it live it convinced me I danced like nuts.
Whenever I give the album a listen I have to repeat that one a few times before moving on!

I wish they release a live DVD at some point .

They played in a cheap theater and the sound wasn't ideal for seven musicians playing on stage. They also had some problems hearing themselves which caused a couple of performance mistakes, but fuck that, I would have never imagined I'd see them live in my country (at least so soon). And it was more of a party than a show, full of freaks dancing, headbanging and moshing.

They totally kick ass live and they are really nice guys.
Voodoo Mon Amour and Kevlar Sweethearts sound pretty good live.

This release seems to be a bit less obnoxious than their previous releases, but I think that's a great thing. Don't get me wrong; I love this band, but I usually can't sit through a whole album of theirs without getting a little annoyed. x3 This release is much easier to swallow in one sitting though. The Latin American theme (stylistically speaking) is a breath of fresh air from this band too. I predicted that they were gonna be releasing the same album over and over since after listing to Songs for the Damned and Delirious.

At first I thought it was bland but it's growing on me now. I'm even thinking that this might be their most creative album so far.
It seems like they try to vary as much as they can at each album. And like Fat & Sassy pointed out, it has become smoother as well. Love their evolution so far. They certainly deserve a lot of respect.

I didn't love the 2nd album nearly as much as the first and therefore was a bit nervous about this one.
God. Damn.
This album is fucking brilliant and maybe even better than the debut. Certainly the energy has been kicked up to 11 and oooh I'm obsessing over Justice For Saint Mary. The album ends and I play that one several more times. Who knew that this band could STILL be full of surprises!!! That's really saying something. I never saw that song's ending coming in a million years.

Yeah, they probably think they're being cute by ending the album with a dubstep outro. xD

I seem to be part of a minority which regard Sing-Along Songs for the Damned & Delirious (phuh!) as the best DSO album yet. I generally want my avantgarde metal to be crazy and over the top in a "controlled chaos" kind of way and that is where the greatness of said album mainly came from, when the band took the formula of the debut and added drugs into the mix so to speak. I loved it.
Having said that, it therefor saddens me somewhat to see most of that craziness gone with Pandora's Piñata. Sure, it still contains a few of those moments but as a whole the album came across as too safe and restrained for me. It starts off fair enough however and it is obvious that the band members know their stuff. But as the album progressed more and more I could not help but feel that I was listening to less intriguing versions of already done concepts from previous works.

Just listenning to this right now for the first time. My general feeling is that this is their best work yet. They used pretty much everything but the kitchen sink and threw it together in a way you would never have predicted. Contrary to what that would make you think, it all makes perfect sense and is never even slightly dissonant.

The most entertaining album of the year so far. So incredibly fun to listen to.

This new album sounds more "tame" when compared to its predecessors but I still enjoy it quite a lot. I loved a lot the craziness of their earlier works but I also like this, more mature music. And surely it wouldn't be DSO if their album sounded predictable so you are bound to find some little surprises here and there when you listen to it for the first time. 
One of the not-so-many albums released this year that I really enjoy listening to.

It is one strange album,i dont know what to say,it makes me speechless.this is strong album for sure.i dont have much interests in symphonic metal and it is a bit too much symphonic for me but it has some interesting moments that doesnt heard on many albums.exit strategy of a wrecking ball is great song maybe the best song of the album.

I don't know. DSO just fail to really impress me with their last two album. As with Sing-Along Songs, this has some interesting ideas, but somehow all this stuff feels recycled from the first album - even though there are seemingly new ideas here...

Definitely check the others out. The debut is the only one I've heard in its entirety. Mindblowing stuff.

I loved their first one, and was very disappointed in Sing-Along... (annoying vocals, bad songs, no focus). Fortunately they fixed most of these problems here, this is a great album! Hope to see them live someday.
