5.0 out of 5 stars Great album, one of the best in latin rock..., April 4, 2002
By 
DaRkSoL (Cuernavaca, Morelos Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Grasa De Las Capitales (Audio CD)
I suppose this album fits under a number of genres such as rock,
prog-rock, fusion or pop-fusion but no matter where you put it
it will shine as a really great album, perhaps the only album to
really live up to Seru Giran's towering reputation as "The
Argentine Beatles".

What makes this CD so good? The songwriting is amazing, all the
tunes are put together flawlessly, great chord changes and some
very introspective lyrics. The playing is top notch, featuring
Pedro Aznar's gorgeous fretless bass, Charly Garcia's rocking
synthesizer and piano lines, Oscar Moro's amazing sense of time
and feel and David Lebon's great guitar playing on most every
track. You get the sensation the band is "on" all the time
without ever getting the impression they're just noodling around.

Stand-out tracks (for me of course) are "La Grasa..." with it's
somewhat Zappa-esque sense of humor and fast-paced playing,
"Perro Andaluz", a great bittersweet lovesong, "Noche De Perros"
with Pedro's almost liquid sense of phrasing adorning every bar
with beautiful fretless melodies and of course, the argentinian
rock standard "Viernes 3 A.M.", a tearjerker which will probably
take a while to leave your mind.

Perhaps the only track I don't like is "Los Sobrevivientes", but
listening to the album all the way through you barely even feel
the song. I suppose Charly's high-pitched voice and the language
barrier might stop some people from enjoying this CD as much as
I do, but anyone with an appreciation for great playing (bassists
especially) and good songwriting will probably get a lot out of
this argentinian classic. Essential.

5.0 out of 5 stars Todo Seru es genial, April 6, 2003
This review is from: Grasa De Las Capitales (Audio CD)
Con ciertas bandas y artistas resulta extremadamente difícil recomendar uno u otro trabajo. Serú Girán, la tercera banda que tuvo el genio musical Argentino Charly García (teclado, voz y otros) junto al maestro Pedro Aznar (bajo, voz y otros), David Lebón (guitarra y voces) y Oscar Moro (batería), es uno de esos casos. "Grasa de las capitales" contiene el tema que le da nombre al álbum, que posiblemente sea capaz de resumir la quintaesencia de la banda como ningún otro, pero es un crimen musical dejar por fuera, como secundarios, excelentes trabajos como el primer álbum de la banda ("Serú Girán"), "Bicicleta" o "Peperina". Sin duda alguna, recomiendo cualquier trabajo de la banda, sin temor a equivocarme. Se trata de uno de esos raros ensambles que reúne a varios genios, y cuyo resultado no puede ser otro sino una serie de increibles álbumes de muy buena música.

5.0 out of 5 stars El mejor de Serú Girán, May 4, 2002
By 
This review is from: Grasa De Las Capitales (Audio CD)
Tengo que decir que este es uno de los mejores trabajos del "Dios del Rock Argentino" Charly García. Serú Girán fue uno de sus más importantes proyectos, uno con exelentes músicos, que trascendió fenomenalmente en el mundo del Rock. Todos los temas son espectaculares encabezados en su mayoría por la bella voz de David Lebón.

This is a great Rock album; even if you don't know Spanish, you won't regret getting this piece of fine artistry...
