Sons Of Rock (1988) is Menudo's 26th album (5th in English).
It features Ricky Martin, Raymond Acevedo, Sergio Blass, Rubén Gómez and new member Angelo García. This is the first English album the band records of all new material without any previous Spanish songs translated into English. Angelo replaced Ralphy Rodríguez, after just one year of tenure, Ralphy's parents pulled him off the band citing cruel treatment by management. In late 1988/early 1989, Sons Of Rock was re-released with a new album cover. This time it featured a neon magenta color, as well as a new picture of the group and current line-up: Ricky Martin, Sergio Blass, Rubén Gómez, Angelo García and new member Robert Avellanet. Robert replaced Raymond Acevedo after he quit the group in the middle of their tour supporting this album. Some say he became upset when he was told it was his time to leave the group. Raymond felt Ricky Martin would have to be replaced before him but management wanted to keep Ricky longer so Raymond felt betrayed and quit before his replacement was ready to join the group.

“Who are we? And for what are we going to fight? Are we the titled slaves of George the Third? The military conscripts of Napoleon the Great? Or the frozen peasants of the Russian Czar? No—we are the free born sons of America; the citizens of the only republic now existing in the world; and the only people on earth who possess rights, liberties, and property which they dare call their own.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Amongst the learned the lawyers claim first place, the most self-satisfied class of people, as they roll their rock of Sisyphus and string together six hundred laws in the same breath, no matter whether relevant or not, piling up opinion on opinion and gloss on gloss to make their profession seem the most difficult of all. Anything which causes trouble has special merit in their eyes.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (c. 1466–1536)
