5.0 out of 5 stars A fun mix of electronic music, October 9, 2009

When I first heard of Da Zoo I wasn't sure I would actually enjoy this fun bouncy music, but after listening to the first two tracks that changed quickly. I find this material to be very entertaining to listen to whether its on in the background or you are actively listening. I find each track to be good in its own way but really enjoy listening to "Otro Love" and "Ponte Ready".

While I can't clearly compare Da Zoo to another artist (I think they are in their own category) I did find some of the beats and hooks to be similar to those found in other mainstream music. Actually that being said I could see DJs like Dr. Dre, DJ Sammy or Tiesto using much of this in their own work, in fact I would really enjoy hearing Da Zoo remixed.

I highly recommend this album if you are looking for fun, electronic and active music where you most likely have no clue what they are saying.

1.0 out of 5 stars "Same whack rhymes over the same stink beats", August 10, 2009

I dropped the CD into my car stereo before I took a long drive. I gave it a chance. I listened with open ears but I must admit that there was nothing new. Much of this cd reminds me of mid 90's club music mixed with funk and east coast jazz. The lyrics were generic and no more edgy than the "stuff" you hear on latin music stations across the nation. I could break-down each song for you but it would pay this product undeserved attention. Da'Zoo needs to return to the studio and do some remixing if they are to reach their intended audience. This is bubble gum music and does not compare to the black eye peas in spite of a Fergie like vocalist. Pop music run a ground and amuck.

I returned home from my drive feeling critical so I tested the music out on family and friends with varying ages from teeagers to folks in thier mid-50s; the overall consensus is: 1) lacks originality, 2) lyrics were flat and uninspired, 3) group needs to put thier faces on the front of the cd cover and get rid of the chimp (to represent Puerto Rican talent), 4) Who is the intended audience? 5) Why didn't they take us to the next level instead of taking a step into the been there, done that genre? Folks give it a chance and tell the world what you think, always get a second opinion or try it for yourself. . .6) Why the vulgarity and if they wanted to convey sexual messages why not be creative or discreet? It is likely that their audience may not be ready to accept or process these messages.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bubble Gum Electro Pop, July 22, 2009

In the liner notes each of the artists thanks god or a higher power first, before family or loved ones. This must be a cultural artifact since the lyrics do not appear to have a godly bent.

The music is pop infused synthetic, and the production uses cliches like spoken voice in back ground as music ramps up. The Lyrics are light, love, drugs, dance themes.

No deep bass thumps or true dance inspiration. This is bubble gum dance music, and I would only dance to it if I were happy for some other reason.

If you like prog rock, gorillaz, b-52s, stay away. If you like Menudo, or kiddie dance pop, then this is for you. But then the lyrics are somewhat more adult themed.

The tracks don't make my skin crawl, and they aren't offensive, there just isn't anything original, creative, thought provoking, or can't help but dance about any of the tracks. At best this album would be filler music at a dance club.
