With all due respects for the original singer (Amaia Montero), these are newer versions with an unique different twist by new singer Leire Martínez. I love both. No one is better than the other. They are completely different and each deserve their respect. In terms of Music arrangement, these new recording put these classics to the next level. Amaia made them classics, Leire made sure they will still be...! Even El Ultimo Vals and Jueves sound different!!! Ten stars!!!

If there ever was an album that serves as a showcase for a singer's vocal talents, this is it!

All new recordings of past hits and new material. Done with a combination of acoustic flair and symphonic sounds. Totally new, totally different stylistically than previous LOVG cds. It serves as a great way to showcase the wonderful vocal talents of Leire Martinez. With A las Cinco en el Astoria, as good as Leire's performance was, it kind of seemed out of place given the context of LOVG. One couldn't help but feel a split loyalty between the group and Amaia Montero. As if any replacement singer was a "second stringer." But, with this effort, Leire Martinez has, in my opinion, taken prominance as THE lead singer for LOVG. As much as I like Amaia Montero and her unique and quirky vocals, I have to say I appreciate Leire's vocals even more. She's NOT a replacement vocalist any more. She's made LOVG over and given it her own sound and created something totally NEW and DIFFERENT. It's not the same group with a new singer, it's now a totally NEW GROUP!

If you don't like full, deep, rich sound and don't appreciate the liberal use of strings and orchestral arrangements, you probably won't much like this album. But if you DO, your ears are in for a treat. I'm listening to the album again as I write this and it's giving me goose bumps and sending chills down my spine. Hauntingly powerful musical arrangements and moving vocals. The new versions of ROSAS and MUNECA DE TRAPO are fantastic. Dangerous territory to re-record "classics", but these are like night and day. Same songs, but completely different interpretations. You can't say they're "better" or "worse", they're just NEW and DIFFERENT. It would be like comparing apples and oranges! The Amaia versions are much more "pop" oriented, the Leire versions are deeper and richer. Apples and Oranges. I like them BOTH! But, simply put, Leire Martinez has stamped her own imprint on LOVG.

PUEDES CONTAR CONTIGO is a standout track. Booklet includes lyrics. Disc also contains computer/on-line applications, but I'm kind of gun shy about Sony's "enhanced" CD after their original ones were loaded with tracking cookies! So I haven't tried that part of the disc. It says it gives you behind the scenes access to the recording sessions, exclusive photos, exclusive interviews and more. But, again, I didn't try it, so I don't know what the content is exactly.

FIVE STARS for NUESTRA CASA A LA IZQUIERDA DEL TIEMPO. New life breathed into an older group by Leire Martinez.

This album is amazing. It's the bands greatest hits but with the new vocals by Leire. She has done an amazing job not only matching but surpassing the old singer's vocal work. What's more is that this is not a compilation album but rather a REMAKE! In this case the remake doesn't just consist of a new and improved voice but also of a symphony orchestra. It's Disney classical music meets LODVG.

You will not be disapointed.
