"Enanitos Verdes" means Green Dwarfs . Well, this excellent band from Argentina certainly is no dwarf in musical terms . The only reason why I can't give this album a full 5 stars is because the album ( issued in 1995 ) lacks some of the depth that they showed in later works .

Having said that , it's only fair to say that "Big Bang" is a great collection of songs , well crafted and executed by a band that knows how to cross the line between power pop and rock'n'roll .

This band has a great plus : the way they play and sing converts
songs that otherwise would sound like obvious musical and lyric clichés into well-developed musical pieces . That's what happens with "Mi primer dia sin ti" , "Cuando habla el corazón" , "Mejor no hablemos de amor" and even "Lamento boliviano" which was a great commercial hit in Latin America at the time of its release.

Also , the Enanitos can really rock and they prove it in "Celdas" and "Bailarina" , for instance .

"HIV" is a fast-paced , but not for that less emotional composition about AIDS . Giving the seriousness of the issue , one would probably expect a slower song , but the Enanitos fully deliver the message in a different way .

My favorites are , aside from the already mentioned "Mejor no hablemos de amor" , the bitter/hopeful/philosophical "Yo pagaria" , the lovely fast-paced ballad "Pasaré por ti" and the album's final song , "Estoy dispuesto" , which closes this work beautifully .

It's a shame that this spanish-speaking band will never be popular in the US and other markets due to the language barrier. Along with Soda Stereo , Charly Garcia , Fito Paéz , Spinetta and other great musicins and bands , Argentina has to be proud of being the homeland of the Enanitos Verdes . They are in the musical Big Leagues , period .

I love los enanitos, but this cd just didn't shine as much for me. The hit song and one other stands out, but the rest are pretty forgettable. It seems that this album may have been too hasitly put together unlike their others. Of course I still liked the cd, but it lacks the same feeling that the others have so it kind of sits in the back of my cd collection.

I'm glad I ran into this albulm/group. The first week I purchased it I couldn't stop playing it. The songs have nice lyrics to go along with the smooth guitar playing. I would say these people are up there with Jaguares (Caifanes), Mana, Cuca, et cetera. If you like this kind of music I recommend Jaguares, you should try purchasing the upcoming cd from Saul Hernandez. Before trying the cd you could also try downloading 'Luz de Dia' from Napster or a similar program, try before you buy! You will be amazed!

Los Enanitos Verdes se han convertido en uno de mis grupos favoritos del rock en espanol. Estos Argentinos han ayudado el rock en espanol a crecer y a ser mas conocido por todo el mundo al igual que Mana. El estilo de los Enanos es bastante refrescante y bueno para todos los que sepan disfrutar la buena musica. "Mejor no hablemos de amor" esta entre mis preferidas al igual que "Lamento Boliviano" Se los recomiendo.

Este es solamente uno de sus mejores albums y una vez mas como siempre Marciano y el resto de la Banda nos deleitan con el mas fino Rock en Español que pueda existir. Y que el Rock viva por los siglos de los siglos. Amen!

Wow. Este album si tiene buenas canciones. Mejor No Hablemos de Amor, Lamento Boliviano (mi favorito) Yo Pagaria, Piel de Nopal y Mi Primer Dia Sin Ti son grandiosos. Yo les recomiendo este cd con cinco estrellas.

Este es un disco extraordinario. Me lo acabo de comprar en Mexico, luego de haberlo tenido mucho tiempo en cassette, y es absolutamente recomendable. Es un disco bastante balanceado y con una produccion excelente. Yo pagaria, piel de nopal, mi primer dia sin ti, cuando habla el corazon y estoy dispuesto son unas obras de arte. No tienen idea cuanto estoy disfrutando mientras escribo este comentario y escucho el disco. Comprenlo ya!!!!

De los Enanitos Verdes, me gusta casi de todo. A veces prefiero lo viejo y a veces prefiero lo nuevo. No cabe duda de que su música ha ido evolucionando a lo largo de los años. Este CD, Big Bang, es buenísimo y parece bien equilibrado. A mi parecer, viene de la Edad de Oro de su carrera. Quiero resaltar cuatro temas: Mejor no hablemos de amor, Mi primer día sin ti (una balada muy linda), Celdas y Bailarina. Qué puedo decir? VIVA EL ROCK! Los Enanitos son súper grosos!

This is an excellent CD, all the songs are great!!!

This is one of the best bands in latinamerica.

I absolutely love this CD for quite a few reasons. Even as an American with only a few years of spanish classes, the lyrics are very easy to comprehend and the music just sounds great!
I think it's a shame that because of the language barrier that most people cannot appreciate their musical talent. I recommend this CD to all ages, for I am only 16. :) great work!
