RBD is a sextet that got its start in the Mexican novela titled "Rebelde (Rebels)". The group played the roles of wealthy students in a private school trying to start a band. They were so popular among fans of the TV show that producer Pedro Damian gathered them into a real band outside the show, titling them "RBD" to distinguish them from the show. The result was international success.

This is their debut album. A lot of the music was used in the show and should not be unfamiliar to the fans. Although it is short (only 11 tracks), it packs hit after hit and should please everyone, even if you have not seen the show.

The title itself is misleading - Although their character personas are rebelious, the music itself is harmless teen bubble-gum pop, much along the lines of OV7.

01. Rebelde - 4/5 - The theme song to the novela, also used within the show. A bit slow like a ballad but picks up to a power-pop style while the group belts about how they are rebels.

02. Solo Quedate en Silencio - 4/5 - A song frequently used in the TV show as well, sort of the romantic theme song for Mia/Miguel and Diego/Roberta. You might also say it's sort of the show's 2nd theme song. Rather slow, like the Backstreet Boys type of music. This is definately a fan favorite and one newcomers will enjoy.

03. Otra Dia que Va - 4/5 - A power-pop song sung mostly by Anahi and Dulce Maria. The vocals here leave a lot to be desired, but the song is still enjoyable.

04. Un Poco de tu Amor - 3/5 - Released as a single only in Mexico, this is not one of my favorites. I'll give it a listen once in a while.

05. Ensename - 4/5 - Cute, bubbly, very teenager-ish. It has a sort of rhythm like Ace of Base meets Backstreet boys, but this one works out well. Sometimes, it can be a bit repetitive.

06. Futuro Ex-novia 2/5 - Upbeat, power-pop with some strange yet distracting synth-beats. This song features the boys, but it's rather uninteresting and dull. I don't listen to this one much, once in a blue moon.

07. Tenerte y Quererte 3/5 - Another upbeat power-pop song. This one reminds me of "Un Poco de tu Amor" but I tolerate this one a lot more than the other.

08. Cuando el Amor se acaba - 2/5 - Another song that sounds sort of like "Tenerte y Quererte," yet this one I don't like as much.

09. Santa No Soy 4/5 - This is definately a rebel song. The lyrics are fun, rebellious,the beat is great and the girls really outdo themselves in this song. Definately one of my favorites.

10. Fuego 5/5 - Upbeat power-pop dance song mainly sung by Dulce Maria (Roberta) and used in the show numerous times (although the show version is a bit better). This is my favorite track off the album. It's a shame it's not a single release since it's so great. If possible, do watch the video on youtube where Roberta dances this- makes the song so much more fun.

11. salvame 1/5 - Probably the group's most popular ballad. I don't like ballads and I don't like this one either.

For a debut album, Rebelde certainly comes off as powerful, full of teen bubblegum pop and hits that will keep the young ones entertained. True, RBD is marketed, manufactured and without as much talent as other groups, but that didn't stop them from gaining the success they have now. Go ahead and listen, even if you've never watched the show. It's innocent, fresh and fun, much unlike most of the rap/hip-hop that's out there.

If you have seen the soap opera and listen to the music that plays in the background and liked it, then you are going to LOVE this cd. And if you haven't seen the soap opera, then trust me you're going to like it anyway. This cd is really good, it's very dynamic; I love all the songs. Usually I don't like the soundtracks of soap operas, but this is definitely the exception. My favorite song is the one that the guys sing, "futuro ex-novio", is just funny how they view their relationships.

The best CD of some soap opera, "RBD" this group formed by Anahí, Christopher, Dulce, Alfonso, Mayte and Christian does that the soap opera be more authentic. The CD is perfect, with 11 brutal songs, the better, all are excellent. Since "Rebelde", "Solo Quédate en Silencio" to "Sálvame" is an album that listens upper to under as many times one wants, without one be bored..

Me encantó este album desde la primera vez que lo escuche. Generalmente me gusta mucho la musica de las novelas juveniles, como la de Clase 406 y Primer Amor, pero este cd esta mucho mejor. La verdad parece como si ellos de verdad fueran una banda de verdad y no solamente unos actores que fueron aventados al estudio para grabar el disco. Se lo recomiendo a todos los fans de la banda RBD y de la novela Rebelde!

RBD THE BEST YOUNG LATIN MUSIC GROUP EVER!

Ilove the soap opera, I don't miss one day of it! I think it's the best soap opera that I have ever seen. I waited along time for the cd! I couldn't get the cd anywhere and I got upset, but then I saw it here so I decided to buy it off of Amazon, and then a couple days ago it arrived! I was sooooooo excited. In one day I listened to the cd 6 times, yes!! It is a great Cd, best cd I have ever listened, and well I'm spanish so it's all good!! I'm going to get their next cd!! Can't get enough of the cd, that's why I give it a 5 out of 5!!

This is what i'm talking about, this is a 5 star Cd you can listen to it all day long and you wont get bored, can't wait to see the english one

me encanta rebelde. i worked as a volunteer promoting health this summer in a super small village outside of Guanajuato, Mexico and every single girl, no matter what age, was in LOVE with rebelde. We would literally SPRINT home to watch the tela novela! They are unbelievably popular in Mexico and i bought a pirated CD in a market one day in San Poncho and i've been listening to it non-stop since i've been home (5 months ago). It's the best CD ever and even if you dont speak the language you'll pick up the lyrics super fast. FREAKING AWESOME!

I have no idea who these people are. I think they are from a soap opera but I have no clue. I bought this cd becasue I saw that they sold over 100,000 copies and burning up the Billboard Charts. So I pretty much went to the store saw it for 10 bucks and picked it up. Overall I was pleasently surprised. Iwould best compare them to Kabah or OV7. If you like these group you will like this cd. Keep in mind that this is not a cd like the Kabah cd La Vida Que Va. It does not have those fast dance songs on it. Mostly Pop-Rock and Ballads. If you give this cd a listen once or twice you will see it is very enjoyable.

I love the novel, but the cd it is another thing it is perfect, although we should accept that the novel is not the best it is amusing, but the sountrack is perfect, the first sail Rebelde the one which at the same time is the Official song of the novel it is here cool, the simple second in colombia it is Solo Quedate en Silencio both they are in the first positions of popularity and the sale of disks grows Every day but the same as the popularity of the novel, the Album completely is excellent, it is worthwhile to have it, Songs like Salvame they give tranquility or those moved as Otro Dia Que Va are very Good.
