Summary: Another Great Collection from one of Spain's best Pop/Rock Bands!
Comment: This album is stunning! The songs are once again, catchy, clever, literate, romantic and often funny. The arrangements on this album are even more elaborate and innovative than in their previous effort. I swear this band just keeps getting better! The vocal harmonies are as lovely as they have ever been; the lead singer's voice is amazing, strong, beautiful and sexy! The Beatles influence is still there, and the songs are very well crafted, yet sound very different from the previous album. The first three singles are outstanding; "20 de Enero" ("20th January"), "Puedes Contar Conmigo" ("You Can Count On Me") and "Rosas" ("Roses"), but the rest of the songs are just as good. This album (and its predecessor "El Viaje De Copperpot") is one of those albums where every song is very very good. This one of the Best, if not THE BEST Spanish Pop/Rock Band in the world!! I refer to their music as "Pop/Rock" for two reasons; the "rock" more than most "pop" bands and their songs have a complex struture that reveals craftmanship. This is not your average pop band!! These guys and gal actually write their own songs and play instruments; they don't just sing. This band is a real treat and a rarity amongst all the crap that passes for music in the Spanish Pop world today. I heard they just put out a new album. Can't wait to hear it!!

Summary: Great Music Needs No Translation
Comment: Having enjoyed Latin music for many years and not being any where near competent in Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese, I can say that this group is up there with Electric Light Orchestra, Emerson Lake & Palmer, and The Corrs. Of their four studio albums this one is the best one in my opinion by the fact that it has the greater number of really good songs than the others. Very good European pop rock with a touch of Old Spain for extra flavor.

Comment: I would like this album more if I liked the lead singers voice. Some songs sound quite good, so maybe I will look out for them.

Summary: A Few Songs Too Generous
Comment: La Oreja de Van Gogh treats us to too much of a good thing. Fifteen cuts, including the hidden track, result in a certain sameness setting in for, say, songs 11-13 or so. I may hold this view because, while my Spanish is good it's by no means native, and after awhile -- lulled by the very similar pop melodies -- I don't try to distinguish between the songs by listening closely to the lyrics. The pop sound, however, is usually deceiving for the lyrics -- and their tales of loss and death banished by dreams -- are anything but lightweight. Puedes Contar Conmigo, 20 de enero, Rosas, Geografia, and La esperanza debida are the best cuts. But there isn't a bad song in the bunch; the group should have just saved a couple for another CD.
