4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid performance and very entertaining!,
By Eduardo Razquin (San Francisco, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
This album is very complete musically and goes into a whole host of subject matters. Pobre Cristina is an excellent song, illustrating the fact that money does not necessarily bring happiness, especially in this case (Cristina Onassis who died prematurely and unhappy). It is lyrically satirical which is a Sabina trademark. In "Con un par" Sabina delves into Salsa music and shows his eclectic side musically as well as "Con la frente marchita" getting into Argentinian music." Corre dijo la tortuga" is an excellent song, standing out as one of the album's best. I also liked, but it's my own personal taste, "A ti que te lo haces", having a very nice melodic, instrumental sound accompanied with Joaquin's great voice and expressing himself in the most outrageous, humorous manner imaginable, reminding us that this is Post-Franco Spain, down with censorship and hello to free expression! Another great song, "Mentiras Piadosas" spoke volumes to me about the problems posed with being too honest, a very insightful and brillantly written song. All in all this album is great and a must have for aficionados of contemporary Spanish music.

Sabina's piece de resistance,
By Jeff (Arizona, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
Joaquin Sabina is the greatest Troubadour in the western world - a poet more than a songwriter. In my opinion, this album is his masterpiece. The music is good, but the verse hardly needs any music:
"... I, who never had any religion other than a woman's body ..." Sabina lives according to his urges, and writes from his life, and what results is somthing between philosophy and literature. Someone with greater literary skills than mine should someday tranlate his lyrics. Till then, learn Spanish so you can experience Sabina.

Este es EL disco,
By e.s. ortiz-gonzalez (Rio Piedras, Puerto Rico United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
Este disco es simple y sencillamente maravilloso. No me canso de escucharlo, asi como de citarlo entre los amigos... y los que no lo son. Voy a decirlo en pocas palabras: si tienes una coleccion de rock en espanol, y no tienes este disco, entonces no tienes coleccion que valga la pena, porque te falta EL disco... Joaquin Sabina es Dios!!

un gran album,
By pablo rossi (BUENOS AIRES, BUENOS AIRES Argentina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
mentiras piadosas fue mi primer contacto con el gran sabina, y con el tiempo transcurido desde ese momento ocupa un lugar de preferencia en mi coleccion de musica en español. El album es realmente muy bueno, en los temas y su interpretacion. Mentiras piadosas, medias negras, con la frente marchita, eclipse de mar, y si amanece por fin... para escucharlo entero y atesorarlo como una pequeña joyita de la musica hispana.

De todo un poco....,
By Raul Caamaño (Caracas, Venezuela) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
Hasta el mas aventurero queda satisfecho con esta entrega del Joaquin. Pedazos de su vida, unas pizcas de imagenes ajenas y mucho descaro arman este disco. Una Vez mas.... Bravo...!

ENJOY SABINA'S SENSES.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
THIS JOAQUIN'S PRODUCTION IS PART OF HIS EXPRESSIONS OF HIS VIEWS THIS WORLD AND ITS SITUATIONS. SONGS AS CRISTINA, REVEALS THE FEELINGS OF A RICH GIRL (ONASSIS) WHO CAN TRADE ALL HER FORTUNE, FOR HAPPINESS. ANOTHER GOOD ONE IS "CORRE DIJO LA TORTUGA"(RUN, SAID THE TURTLE), HE SHOWS HOW IRONIC IS THIS WORLD AND ITS HABITANTS, OURSELVES. LISTEN TOO: ATAQUE DE TOS, LA BALADA DEL ABANDONADO, MENTIRAS PIADOSAS, ECLIPSE DEMAR, and much more....... ENJOY!!!!!!

Uno de los mejores albumes de Sabina,
By
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
Creo que este fue el primer album de Sabina que tuve. En todo caso, creo que fue a partir de este disco de 1990 que el español empezo a ser conocido bien en América Latina. Hay muchas canciones buenas: Pobre Cristina (sobre la entonces recientemente muerta Cristina Onassis), Eclipse de Mar (recuerdo un cover de esta cancion de Baglietto), Con la Frente Marchita (...cantaba Gardel, gran canción sobre una exiliada argentina en España), el Muro de Berlin (que ironiza sobre el entonces recientemente caido Muro, y sobre toda esa onda que habia en esa epoca que afirmaba que a partir de ese momento, se acababa la historia y todo iba a ir bien), Mentiras Piadosas, Corre, Dijo la Tortuga, etc. En fin, un album mas que recomendable, con lindas melodias y excelentes letras (como es de costumbre en Sabina).

Uno de los mejores discos de Sabina...,
By LOURDES OLIVER DIAZ (Lima, Perú) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mentiras Piadoras (Audio CD)
Este disco es uno de los mejores trabajos de Joaquín Sabina e incluye algunos de sus temas más conocidos. Eclipse de mar y Con la frente marchita son canciones geniales. La calidad de los arreglos y la grabación es también excelente. En mi opinión, Mentiras Piadosas, Física y Química y Esta Boca es Mía, son los tres mejores discos de Sabina.
