El cielo puede esperar is the second album by Argentine rock band Attaque 77,[1][2] released in 1990 by Radio Tripoli (then the primary source for punk rock releases in Argentina).

With much improved sound and songwriting in comparison with their first LP Dulce Navidad, this album established the band as a regular feature in mainstream Argentine rock.

Stylistically it follows the guidelines of their debut, mostly '77 punk rock, but if the first album was too centered on the Ramones as an influence, this one expanded the showcase to the Sex Pistols, The Clash (actually a heavy influence on the band) and the Buzzcocks.

Although it wasn't originally one of the singles cut for radio promotion (an honour reserved to the title track and "Donde las aguilas se atreven"), the mid-tempo ballad "Hacelo por mi" was a smash hit on its own in early 1991, and Attaque 77 actually became a crossover band for a while (there was even a TV show named after the song).

The song "Espadas y serpientes", written from the point of view of a jailed man giving hope to his girlfriend who's waiting for him to be released, is particularly cherished by the fans and has become a live classic, and it can be considered Attaque's signature tune.
