5.0 out of 5 stars
clasico de la musica danzable latina..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
En un tiempo en que la musica latina ha caido en su momento de mayor inercia...albumes como el de Juan Luis son un oasis en medio de la aridez creativa de los artistas hispanos. "Ni es lo mismo ni es igual" es excelente en todos los aspectos: exquisitez y originalida en las letras, sofisticados arreglos que nunca caen en la repeticion y la sordidez, sonido de primera y concepto general del album con una secuencia logica. El problema de los cantantes latinos es que en su mayoria son solo interpretes y carecen de una vision musical solida. Juan Luis es un musico, pero de los buenos, quien nunca compromete la calidad y la honestidad artistica en aras de ser popularizado despiadadamente o buscando ser articulo de consumo que se venda por unas treinta monedas de plata...

He just CAN'T do a bad album - No sabe grabar un mal album,
By
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
After quite a while of being away from the recording studio, Juan Luis, the best Merengue composer of the world, came back to deliver, once again, an outstanding piece of poetry combined with moving dance music. He just doesn't seem to be able to put out a record with material that's not going to make it. This one is no exception. You'll love it, just as much as any other Juan Luis Guerra algum you might already have. If you don't have any other albums by him, it can be an excellent album to start collecting his music. ---- Despues de un tiempo de estar alejado del estudio de grabacion, Juan Luis Guerra, el mejor compositor de merengue del mundo, regreso con una grabacion fabulosa, que reune nuevamente su poesia y su sabor. Pareciera no saber lanzar al mercado albumes que no sean perfectos. Este no es la excepcion. Te encantara tanto como cualquier otro album que tengas de el. Si no tienes ninguno, este puede ser un muy buen album para empezar tu coleccion de Juan Luis Guerra.

O melhor álbum de JLG!,
By André Luís (Natal, RN Brasil) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
"Ni es lo Mismo, Ni es Igual" é, sem dúvida, o melhor álbum de Juan Luis Guerra. Cada uma das 11 faixas do CD prova o seu perfeccionismo quando ele faz música.
Os 4 merengues (1, 2, 5 e 9) são dos melhores que já compôs (destaque para "El Niágara en bicicleta"). A salsa "Quisiera" (faixa 4) é deliciosa (veja também a versão balada dela em "Colección Romantica" de 2001). As bachatas aqui ("La hormiguita" e "Palomita blanca") são as melhores e mais românticas dele. Falando em romantismo, completam o CD as lindas faixas 7, 8 e 10 ("Testimonio", "Amapola" e "Sobremesa", respectivamente) e a última música, uma versão de "Amor de conuco", apenas violão e voz, ótima! Juan Luis Guerra é um músico de primeira qualidade. Suas composições são harmoniosas, perfeitas e toca nossos corações profundamente - seja com merengues, bachatas, salsas, baladas... Não deixe de apreciar seus outros trabalhos ("Para Ti" de 2004, por exemplo, tem ótimos merengues), nos quais NÃO vejo músicas que pudesse descartar, jogar fora, ou seja, não tem música-lixo (e tem muuuuita música assim em nossos dias... em espanhol, português, inglês... arghh!).

Not one of Guerra's best work, it is still a masterpiece,
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
It is true that in the JLG's discography there have been better works, but still this record is a masterpiece. The lyrics are superb, with lots of beutiful poetry and metaphores that really get to one's heart. Music is also great, specially the agressive merengue songs like "El Niagara en Bicicleta", "Mi PC", " Vale la Pena ", "El primo" that mix along with the beautiful Bachatas, which the best are "Palomita Blanca" and "La hormiguita". From a great artist, a great album, definitely.Es cierto que no es el mejor trabajo de Juan Luis Guerra, pero es una obra de arte. La letra de las canciones conserva la poesía metafórica que lo caracteriza, y que llega al corazón definitivamente. De la música, el merengue de Guerra sigue siendo agresivo y marcado, y los mejores temas son "El Niagara en Bicicleta", "Mi PC", " Vale la Pena " y "El Primo". Las bachatas no se quedan atrás, y cabe destacar "Palomita Blanca" y "La hormiguita". Aunque es cierto que la versión original de "Amor de Conuco" es superior, esta nueva versión le imprime un toque diferente.

Es arte, y como cuesta encontrarlo ahora...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
Juan Luis Guerra nos vuelve a dar un respiro dentro de tanta basura comercial. Por suerte sale al mercado al mismo tiempo que Ricky Martin y otras imagenes para contrabalancear y dejar claro que la belleza en la musica latina todavia se puede rescatar, aun dentro de la avalancha de productos populares.

Juan Luis Guerra is a wonderful performer!,
By
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
I waited weeks for this album to come in from the library and it was well worth the wait. Juan Luis Guerra is truly in a class by himself. He has a clean and beautiful style. It is a great combination of clean percussion and a beautiful, romantic voice. Mr. Guerra also has a great sense of humor and a beautiful poetic style as a songwriter.
I love "Mi PC" (a song that juxtaposes computer lingo with a man's love for his lover), "Hormiguita" (a beautiful ballad), "Niagara en Bicicleta" (a merengue rap that takes a humourous and tongue-in-cheek look at the health care system of the Dominican Republic), the romantic "Testimonio", "Sobremesa", "Amor de Conuco" and the lively and humour "Primo." If you are tired of all of the techno-based merengue and want to hear lyrics from a sincere and beautiful poet and melodies that compliment them oh so well this is definitely an album for you! What a great introduction to the music of the Dominican Republic. (This is only the tip of the iceberg, of course!)

The best!,
By
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
I totally love this guy's music. He can sing the national anthem and I will buy the cd. He is a poet. He says everything with very simple words but he gets to you, deep. "Amor de Conuco" is sooo beautiful and simple. Niagara en bicicleta is a great one to dance to.I think his music delivers goodness. He must be an awesome human being!

One of my favorites,
By Todd S. Miller (Pacifica, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
Great upbeat dance tunes. What really got me is I usually can't stand slow love songs. However, on this disk, even the slow tunes are moving and convincing...not cheesy and that's very difficult to pull off, I think. (and I don't understand Spanish)

Juan Luis comes back as strong as ever,
By Marcio J. Sanchez (Kansas City, Missouri) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni es Igual marks Guerra's powerful return to the music stream. The strongest aspect of the album, as it has been with Guerra's previous efforts, is the effective mix of social commentary with music that makes you want to dance. "El Niagara en Bicicleta" is the upmost example of this mix, condeming the Health Care system of his homeland in a way that most latinos can equate to the situations of their respective countries. And at the same time, the statement is made with a poetic, soulful and inspiring tone. Great Album!

algo increible para la musica,
By ISAAC AIZENMAN (MAALE ADUMIM , Israel (pninaiz1@netvision.net.il)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ni Es Lo Mismo Ni Es Igual (Audio CD)
Juan Luis Guerra es un tipo sencillamente increible; su musica es de una calidad extraordinaria desde todos los puntos de vista. Ningun otro artista latino logro hasta el momento combinar con tanta habilidad, precision y romanticismo el arte de escribir musica, mezclarle poesia de su propia invencion y que suene bello como suenan cada una de las canciones de jose luis y 4:40; y si no que lo diga el mismo !! Su ultima produccion es sencillamente espectacular, original, de clase y solo resta esperar que vengan muchas mas Isaac Aizenman
