 RioSales Rank:8196List Price: $13.98 Lowest New Price: $9.41 Lowest Used Price: $6.45 Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 Total Reviews: 7 Customer Reviews:Rating: 4 No OYE este RIO One comment I keep hearing from people about Los Aterciopelados is that they don't evolve with their music. I have to say that I agree with that especially when I feel that they are one of the few latin music bands that can definitely take things to another level. Why isn't it happening? Who knows. Perhaps they found their niche and so they don't feel the need to challenge themselves anymore including the work they did on their solo albums. That's fair game I guess. But not when it came to their last album OYE which i found absolutely dull. I felt then that I have lost all hopes on the band. Then I was surprised to hear that they're releasing a new album called RIO and yes, I was skeptical at first. I'm glad I checked it out because it is a good record. Not great but good enough. It's not inventive per say but it has the spirit of their past best work. Highlights for me are Rio, Bandera, Dia Paranormal, Madre, and Vals. Rating: 5 iHermoso! Continuing in true "Aterciopelados" nature, this album will not disappoint. The album is full of femininity and just plain good music. Aterciopelados continue with their easy going melodies, folksy-rock melodies and positive lyrics that will just make you feel good. A real good album; favorite song is a "Peace anthem" song "Ataque de risas". Rating: 5 I go to Rio ... Rio is a wonderful album that is deep and thoughtful . It is a special album by a special band. It should go down as their best work to date. I was fortunate enough to hear the album already and it just feels like a landmark work. Rating: 5 Get in this "Rio" quick, the water is just fine! Without a doubt "Rio" is their best album yet, music with conscience, with a sense of humor, with life's joy. Get it now, this will be one of the most important release of 2008. Rating: 5 A Grammy Worthy Album!! Aterciopelados finest yet! The fusion of musical styles on this album and seamlessly interwoven political themes is a fine example of what this band is all about. "RIO" has Grammy written all over it. |
