4.0 out of 5 stars Another Amazing Album..., February 20, 2006

Ive been a Sin Bandera fan since day one, and they have delivered once again. If you like Sin Bandera because of their gorgeous heartfelt ballads, then this album is a winner. "Tocame" is one of the most beautiful songs Ive heard in a long time, and the others are not far behind. The duet with Brian McKnight was surprisingly good as well, not a bad crossover song. Im not so much a fan of the more edgy/hip hop songs that Sin Bandera tries on this album. Theryre ok, and not bad by any means, ( I actually dont mind "Lo Que Llamas Amor"), but they should stick to what they know best- writing beautifully harmonized and lyrically eloquent ballads. Overall, this album is amaaaazing, and I havent taken it off repeat since I bought it!
There is also a nice live version of "Sirena" (not available on this version of the album, but is available on iTunes) which i recommend downloading. If only I could see them live....

This album is one of the latest and greatest in my Latin music collection. Leonel Garcis and Noel Schajris have a gorgeous, lyrical quality to their harmonies, and their fusion of r&b, hip hop and Latin elements will have you hooked. Some of my favorite cuts on the album include "Que Me Alcance La Vida" (a stunning ballad!), "No Voy" (a more uptempo song with a beat reminscent of old school Michael Jackson), and "Junto a Ti" (a hip hop inspired beat with Puerto Rican rapper, Vico C).

This album is a great introduction to this marvelous musical duo. They have a romanticism that is very rare in today's music scene, and are definitely worthy of MUCH more exposure in the United States. I hope this album brings them a Grammy (and not just a Latin one!!!). I look forward to hearing much more from these guys in the future.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent effort, May 4, 2006

This to me was Sin Bandera at their best and at their worst. I recognize that this band has a heavy R&B influence. I like that. It's really nice and they have the voices to carry it. However, there were four songs on this CD, two with Yung Kuntry and the two versions of Junto a Ti that I did not like. There was too much hip/hop and rap mixed in with it. It kind of reminded me of when I first stopped liking everything Gwen Stefani did just because it was Gwen S.
I'm all for an artist experimenting-- that's what makes them artists. However, tastes do differ and I just don't have a taste for rap infused spanish pop. Other than those songs I mentioned, there's the duet with Laura Pausini that is amazing. Suelta mi Mano, Tocame and Que Me Alcance la Vida are vintage Sin Bandera.
