A pleasant letdown!

I must admit that I knew about this album in Bunbury's official website and I was excited with the idea of Enrique working together with Shuarma (from 'Elefantes')in an album, as for the other two guys, they were only 'the other two guys'. When the album finally came out I was totally dissapointed of Enrique's songs, as for the rest of the songs, simply the work of genius.



The album opens with 'La felicidad', a great song with lyrics that match the genius of the music, which is an exquisite mixture of different rythms. In this song Enrique appears as he will in the whole album: as a shadow for the other three members singing chorus and backup vocals. Carlos Ann has a unique vocal style that will captivate anyone who listens to it, the feeling with which he sings (listen to 'L amour' and you'll see what I mean) gives his music a one of a kind feeling. As for Morti, he finally shows up as the great singer he is (the way he performs songs like 'Te esperare' and 'Magenta' shows a vocal quality that matches his lyrics), the only reference I had from him was as a chorus in Enrique's albums, but in this project he finally shows what he's capable of; a very pleasant surprise.

Enrique's songs totally dissapointed me, his first solo song 'Desmejorado' shows an artist tired, singing as if he had to do it whether he preferred he didn't, even Raphael's version of the song is better than this, 'Sex food' is another song with terrible lyrics and an even worst way of singing (as a matter of fact, he doesn't sing in this one), I guess the only highlight he has is 'As de copas' in which Carlos Ann and Shuarma help raise both the beginning and the end of this theme.

Bottomline, a great album, my personal least favorite songs are Enrique's, but as for the rest of it this album is a must for fans of rock and roll, a wide variety of rythms make this album very difficult to catalogue, but also the great masterpiece of music it is.

Excessive, Existential, Genius

Poetry and intospection fills this masterpiece of music so powerful as it is eclectic. There is a sense belonging to all kinds of genre, from the bohemian cabaret style of "Golpe en la sien", to the happy-feeling pop single "la felicidad". The intake of Enrique Bunbury is evident throughout the project, but the creative imput of the rest of the quartet is more than complimentary. Without a doubt a musical classic for people who love the pure and powerul effect of melody and poetry blend together.

Nada mas mortal que
