Pocas veces en la historia de la musica popular iberoamericana se produjo una grabación con tal calidad de sonido, seguramente influyó el haber utilizado estudios Ingleses y a un brillante ingeniero como Tomás Dolby, si a esto le sumamos una interesante mezcla de pop y musica electrónica sumado a las más delirantes y punzantes letras de los hermanos Cano y la singular voz de Torroja no nos queda otra que rendirnos a escuchar sin interrupciones como se deslizan los temas...interesante escuchar esa oda a la tolerancia conocida como "mujer contra mujer" cantada por Torroja en un "españolizado" francés...bueno si Aznavour o Adamo nos deleitan con unos castellanos muy afrancesados..en esta oportunidad les devolvemos la mano.
Few times in the history of the Latin American popular music have been produced a recording with such sound quality, perhaps influenced by English recording studies and a brilliant engineer as Thomas Dolby, if we add to this an interesting blend of pop-electro-spanish music and joined the delirious and sharp letters of Cano brothers and singular voice of Torroja The only that You haveto do is listen without interruption... interesting is listen this Ode to tolerance known as "women against women" sung by Torroja in a "spanish" French... good if Aznavour or Adamo delight us with some very "frenchy" spanish..hand back them in this opportunity

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Understand a Word But I Wore Out the CD!, October 1, 2007

If you've never listened to European bands, this is one you have to try out. They were a very popular Spanish group in the 80s and 90s. These songs are bouncy and serious and so enjoyable even if you don't know a lick of Spanish. Some of the songs actually are in English and the cd cover includes translations of the songs. If you more into Kiss, then pass this one by. Mecano are definitely lyric and not heavy metal.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not their best album, but still a must have., August 4, 2009

Although this album isn't even close to their previous album "Entre el cielo y el suelo", this is still a must have. Especially if you're a completionist. It also contains a few songs that aren't in the original album. But don't take me wrong: in this album Jose Maria Cano proves again what a great composer he is, specially with songs like "Eugenio Salvador Dali", or "Mujer contra Mujer".
Now, if something has really improved since their previous album, is Ana Torroja: her voice is better than ever. A true angelic voice.
Buy this album, no matter if you're a Mecano fan or not, and no matter if you understand spanish or not. Mecano will always be one of the greatest spanish pop bands, and this is probably their second (or maybe third) best album.
