2.0 out of 5 stars
Can't judge a whole album by the radio singles alone, August 2, 2009
This review is from: Black Is Black (Audio CD)
The lead singer is German and the rest of the group members are from Spain. I've seen them labeled as a Mexican rock group more than a few times. Guess you'd better call them European. The guys got a distinctive voice, no doubt, and getting the French import version with 25 tracks makes the most sense financially. Problem is, most of their work is nothing like the big radio song or the Nuggets II included "Going Nowhere". If more of the tracks sounded like those two upbeat rockers you'd have a tasty CD here.

one hit wonders or a little more ?, June 8, 2007
This review is from: Black Is Black (Audio CD)
I don't think Los Bravos had another hit in their life than Black is Black, and I don't really know where the extra tracks are coming from, but anyway...
I bought this album when it was first released mostly because it was very cheap (at least in Brussels). I loved the title track and I listened to the rest with interest. It was a spanish group, but the singer was german and he sang in english (for marketing reasons) with an incredible accent that made, I imagine, a lot for the success of the single. The opening riff was also a good idea.
It's a funny souvenir for me, but I must admit that it doesn't stand the test of time too well...
