5.0 out of 5 stars Eros is absolutely the best !!!, November 26, 2005

I am long-time fan of Eros, and I have to say that this Spanish album album of his is worth having even if you already have acquired the italian version! Not because the Spanish version is better than Italian, but because it's different, and without having them both you can not seize the whole spectrum of emotions transmitted by his troubling voice. If you're lucky to understand both languages you can even compare the lyrics.
My favourite songs from the album are:
"Vivo sin ti", where Eros sings about the he's pretty happy without her, enjoying his liberty to a full extent, but still thinks about her a lot, the beat tells us that no matter how hard it sometimes is, we have to move forward, start and new life. Very encoraging, sad and optimistic at the same time.

"Solaridad"- an optimistic song titled,which is a logical continuation of the previously released "If one beautiful song was enough",in both Eros sings about changing the world for the better one without lies that hurt us so much, about giving the people a new hope and more light. Pointing attention to the importance of fighting together for a better world, an amazing song!

"Esta pasando noviembre" - a heart-touching troubling ballad with rather melancholy lyrics " You can play flying after a comet while you're on your journey around the universe, may be now you would be able to reach your goal, the different world that you were never able to find before, only that it shouldn't have been like this, the lonliness is greater without you"

Between others I like "No es amor" for its catching rythm, "Como un niño", "El último metro ", "Tu eres","El equilibrista", "Nomadas de amor", "Una nueva edad" for their meaningful lyrics,and of course the duet with Anastacia can't be left unnoticed, as well as his other English-Italian duets with Tina Turner and Cher it is a great track, although I keep liking "Più che puoi" with Cher the most.

To my mind this one is Eros' best album together with "9" both of which demonstrate a new level that Eros has reached in singing and songwriting. The overall mood of the album corresponds to its title "Visible calm", Eros is doing every effort to stay calm throughout the entire CD.
I recommend this album as well to all-time fans of Eros as to all lovers of good music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eros does it again!, November 10, 2005

Eros Ramazzotti has done it again... He is a true artist with a unique voice and an ever growing spirit that is reflected in his music. "Calma Aparente" is very similar to "9" (previous CD) in its reflective mood, although the tone tends to be somewhat more positive. While "9" alludes to a dark time of change (with a divorce and the death of his mother), "Calma Aparente" transmits a more romantic and inspirational spirit. What I have most enjoyed in Eros' career has been his evolving maturity reflected in his music. He truly sings about his life experiences, yet is always consistent with his "pop" music background, bringing catchy lyrics and easy to listen to rhythms. Eros is truly a gem of Italy and Europe. His duet with Anastasia (another euro sensation), "I belong to you" is just fabulous. This CD is great to listen in the car or while enjoying glass of wine with close friends. He has not found fame in the U.S. yet those that truly love music from all over the world will find him and will understand what I mean!

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit disappointed, November 22, 2005

I love Eros and I was really looking forward to this new album because I felt like his last one, "9", was so melancholy, it left me a little depressed, but that was understandable because he had been through alot that year with both his mother and a close friend dying and his divorce. But... I feel like this new album is also very melancholy. I feel like there is still sadness in his voice and songs. I still love Eros but I think the old style, fun, and passion that I used to love so much in his music is missing. Also, it seems like this album is a continuation of the last as far as sound. When I first played this CD I felt like I had already heard several of the songs before because many of them are so similar to the songs from "9". There isn't really anything new and exciting about this album but I'm glad I bought it, if only for old time's sake! I hope he finds a new love soon because it seems like he is still deeply hurt and disillusioned from the break-up of his marriage.
