I think it is a matter of taste whether you're going to like this CD or not. If you are a Thalia fan, a latin dancer, a Mexican or a lover of banda music, don't hesitate a second! In case you can't do without the loud beats of discotheque and modern orchestrations, this album doesn't do for you. If you are somewhere in between, think if modern songs orchestrated in a more traditional but festive way could be an alternative choice among your CDs and a way to let off steam and unwind. Personally, I love it! It was a surprise Thalia preferred to make a BEST OF collection by rerecording her greatest hits in another music style. This means "Thalia con banda" is a carefully done production through which Thalia had a chance to reinvent her songs and (why not) herself as a singer! Many of the songs remain catchy: "Amor A La Mexicana", "Piel Morena", "Rosalinda", "Por Amor", "Maria La Del Barrio", by far the best among really beautiful songs!! Couldn't they be beautiful? We are talking about a "greatest hits" album!! In a nutshell,this is an ALTERNATIVE album, the choice is up to you!!!

THIS IS ONE OF THALIAS BEST ALBUMS EVER IT CONTAINS 3 OF HER OLD HIT ALBUMS TAKING ALL OF THE HITS OF THE 3 ALBUMS TO FORM THIS EXPLOSIVE ALBUM OF "EXITOS" IT IS TRULY A MAGNIFICENT CD IT WILL PUT YOU TO DANCE THIS CD CONTAINS GREAT HITS I LOVE IT AND YOU WILL TOO, IT IS SO GOOD THAT ON IT'S (1.ST) WEEK OF RELEASE IT HIT THE #50 LATIN BILLBOARD CHARTS TOPING AT THE HOT SHOT DEBUT OF POSITION (# 2) SO SAYING THAT YOU CANT GO WRONG THIS ALBUM IS THE BEST IT IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED

I will say, first that I LOVED Arrasando, it was Thalia's best album. This one, takes a bit getting used to and I think it would have been a superb record if she would have recorded ACTUAL songs written specifically for the gender rather than a greatest hits record. Nevertheless, its a very good record and although some songs do not work in this format, she made a great effort and did the best she could with the translations from pop to banda. I would suggest her next effort be true banda songs which would give her more credibility and an opportunity to dig into the work. In this case, she succeeded, but I think the songs would have served her better if they were truly banda compositions. in this case, she was working with her hands tied behind her back, so I give her 4 stars. Can't wait for the English record next year

You had hear that THALIA'S music didn't work in the USA, but with this new album with BANDA I belive all the hispanos especially all that people from Jalisco, Guerrero, Sinaloa, that is living in this country , will love this new album with our cute THALIA, vamos lets buy her CD.[....]

I have to say that this is one of Thalia's best albums yet.
It was very creative of her to do her greatest hits in the genre of Banda. To take that risk as a pop artist and to pull it off for the most part is something that Thalia must be applauded for.
I also agree with that other reviewer who said that maybe it would've been better for her to have done an actual album of musica banda with NEW songs instead of re-doing her old ones.
She showed a lot of potential of being able to pull that off on the only 2 new songs on the album called cuco pena and la revancha.

All in all, a worthwhile best of CD to check out where Thalia shows she's got potential to evolve from her poppy sounds.

This is a compilation of Thalia's Greates Hits in Banda. To truly appreciate what banda is though you want to venture on to the tracks called La Revancha and Cuco Pena those new songs for this cd is what banda really sounds like. The other songs are just her hits with banda which sound more like Pop Banda which is a great combination. Definitely this cd is a must have for fans and those who like banda and would like a different perspective for it than the same old. Way to go Thalia, this cd is a winner!!!

In this album, Thalia interprets some of her past hits in banda versions. It sounds incredibly good. I do not like this kind of music, but the way Thalia sings it makes me like it. This album also includes two new banda songs, "Cuco Peña" and "La Revancha". Some of her past hits that are now with banda are, "Amor A La Mexicana", "Piel Morena", "Entre El Mar Y Una Estrella", "Arrasando", and "Quiero Hacerte El Amor", a ballad which Thalia now interprets in Banda. This album is very cool and danceable. I recommend it to everyone. Even to those who don't like banda music. You'll like it.

I like Thalia's energy on this CD. She's talented and she sings clearly unlike other singers con banda. I like Arrasando, Cuco Peña, and of course Amor A La Mexicana. I think a lot of the songs sound like Cumbias even though it's probably not supposed to. Her voice is sweet and the content of her songs are fun to listen to (if you speak Spanish) and this CD makes you feel the rhythem of the musica picosa! I gave the CD 4 out of 5 stars because I think everyone should strive for excellence.

The music is alright but it wears heavily on you after a while. If you don't like faux Banda then buy one of her pop albums.

There is a nice mini poster in there though.

This is a great CD. Thalia does a magnificant job of taking her greatest POP hits and converting them into BANDA hits. I really don't listen to banda music, but this CD does a great job of making you an instant banda lover. I recommend it to every one.
