Consejo is the most successful album from La Secta. Shortly after guitarist Carlos Figueroa left the band, and Mike Genao replaced him, and the band then released their fifth album, Consejo, with Universal Latino. The album won a Premio Lo Nuestro award in the category of Best Rock Album. In 2004, the band released a fourth album titled Túnel. The single "Dame Lo Que Quieras" peaked at local radio stations and won an ASCAP Award.
Four days after the release, the album had already sold 25,000 copies. This album was recorded and produced by the band itself. After this and the success of this first album, the band released the follow-up titled La Secta Allstar in April 2001. In January 2001, the band presented a sold-out concert at the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan. Bombón de Azúcar was again re-released in 2007 with the addition of "Mar y Marea" while "Si Tú No Estás" has not been rereleased. These were in turn substituted by the Spanglish version of "Bombón de Azúcar" and a new track titled "Luna de Día". The main difference is that the new album did not include the songs "Si Tú No Estás" and "Mar y Marea".
This album was re-released in 1999 under the title Bombón de Azúcar. Their debut album, Aniquila, was released in 1997 producing four Top 40 hit singles: "Se Acabó", "Recompensa", "Nunca Jamás" and "Bombón de Azúcar". Alvarez then introduced them to Andrés Levin, and La Secta Allstar signed a record deal with Fonovisa soon after.
José Fernández Camilo became their manager and introduced them to producer Jorge Álvarez. In 1995, Martin recorded the song " Bombón de Azúcar" and in 1996, Nazario recorded "Ultima Vez", also written by Laureano. It is during this time that artists like Ricky Martin and Ednita Nazario discovered them. They soon began writing and composing their songs and started playing at local clubs in Miami and Puerto Rico. They also began rehearsing in a local warehouse along with drummer John Lengel and guitarist Carlos Figueroa. After graduating they moved to Miami Beach and started working. Mark Kilpatrick and Gustavo Laureano met in Orlando, Florida where they studied sound engineering.
