Average - Bordering on the Boring!, January 29, 2004
This review is from: Sin Ti (Audio CD)
Don't get me wrong only giving this CD 3 stars- I am a Santos fan - but! A very polished performance yes! Too many merengues! - not all that keen - much prefer the Bachata and where are those intricate melodies that tease the brain into trying to remember them - (these are what gets you listening to a CD again and again) - no memorable melodies here! 5 out of 10 with a 'Could do better' on the report

Wow.....impressive. A must have for bachata fans!, December 13, 2003
This review is from: Sin Ti (Audio CD)
I was in Santo Domingo all last week and I had to go to quite a few stores before I could get a copy of this album. I right away suspected that it must be great because many of stores were sold out of Sin ti. I finally did purchase a copy and wow... I was taken aback by how impressive it is. Antony Santos has been on a role with this new style of bachata that he has created since El balazo. Where do I begin- this album is a continuation of Juego de amor (which I am still enjoying) and now El Mayimbe comes with Sin ti, which is full wonderful bachatas. I suspect the big hits will be: Sin ti, La Jaula de oro, and Damelo'to but don't underestimate the other three. They are equally as good. I especially like # 7 Se acabara mi suerte. The mellowest bachata of the group is No es bueno but a nice one indeed. The merengues are tremendous too. I like the rhythm of La camarera (it's not really merengue. It has a nice "son tropical" beat), El Gato triste will definitely get a crowd moving and Yolanda, a merencumbia that sounds terrific. I say Antony Santos really produced a gem of an album, which definitely should keep his bachata fans coming back for more. No question about it ... . Do enjoy.

You gotta get this Album!!, December 2, 2003
This review is from: Sin Ti (Audio CD)
Antony Santos' 12th Album, "Sin Ti", came by surprise since he was still promoting his previous studio and live albums. This album continues the same stuff where he last left off, including a merengue/son track , "Camarera". This 11-track LP has 6 bachatas/5 merengues! "Sin Ti", "Ahora", and "La Jaula de Oro" are the really good bachatas here with the articulate production being "top-notch". "Camarera","Las Varias", and "Tu Gato Triste" are the really good merengues with the continued use of the saxs' and keyboard. Overall, he has continued giving people what they want: BACHATA Y MAMBO!! YESS!! ANTONY SANTOS!!
