Editorial Reviews

With this record, Aventura has once again “taken it up a notch.” This record includes performances by Akon, Ludacris, Wyclef Jean, Wisin & Yandel and Arturo Sandoval. “Gracias” features the performances of the virtuoso accordion player Geovanny Polanco – a star in Perico Ripiao – and affirmation of the Dominican roots shared by the members of the band. There are songs with influences of Bollywood, R & B, Reggaeton, Rock and Trio music – all mixed up and fused in Aventura’s innovative style – the sound which has captivated audiences world wide. There are love songs, songs about heartbreak, social commentary – a little of everything – all communicated through Romeo’s magical lyrics. There is also a song written and performed by Henry entitled “Princesita.”

5.0 out of 5 stars How does "The Last" measured to the previous albums June 17, 2009

By Victor G. Ledesma

Format:Audio CD

When I heard the first song "Por Un Segundo" I automatically knew I wasn't going to download the album . . . I BOUGHT IT!!!. This is one of the best CD's I've heard so far. I love how they put new genres into their music, It is as how Romeo said it at the Premios Lo Nuestro, " . . . We want to explore different fields of music. . .". I love how it starts with romeo giving a great beginning, loved how the songs were set, My favorite song is "TU JUEGUITO" just hearing it makes anyone think of what love really is. I have to do say that few songs were predictable however I love the effects that were inserted in each song. Every song has their own little twist or effect that makes them unique in their own special way. I love the skit, I don't know why but a phone call to Aventura's Manager is something you don't expect at all, it was real original. My only problem with the album is the ending, "Gracias" was a great song but in my view personally it would been better if Romeo would said something real passionate with a low sound of hip&hop bachata or something like that. But the end was funny, and it was still good. In my view Romeo is one of the best singers of our era, because whenever he sings there's a connection that makes us (The Listeners) feel every emotion that he wants to deliver. The way he "twist" his voice is just phenomenal. When I say twist I mean how he goes from high pitch voice, to low, and switches it up again without any flaws. Now Yeah I do understand that probably they edit his voice to a certain volume, However the feeling belongs to his voice. There's just something that makes us keep listening to his every song. Romeo was built for greatness and will go down as "EL HEREDERO DE BACHATA" because there is no greater bachatero than him, and if in the future there is somebody better then I'm Looking forward to hearing his/her voice. Because Romeo's voice is phenomenal, then her/his voice has to be PERFECT.

Great CD, can't wait until Romeo's solo comes out

5.0 out of 5 stars Lo mejor hasta ahora!! June 21, 2009

I had to preorder this CD because I am deployed in Afghanistan now.
When I received this CD in the mail and started listening I was amazed at how good this CD is. I play it here to all my latin buddies.
Everybody loves it here in Afghanistan, especially songs like "Dile al amor" and "peligro".
Can't wait to get back to the US and hear this music at the clubs!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Last= The Best December 14, 2009

By J. Santiago

First of all i'd like to say that I own every album Aventura has released. I absolutely love these guys. I personally think this album is the best. Not only have they grown as musicians, Romeo personally has grown with his lyrics. He was always good, great, the best even. But his lyrics took this album to another level. Lenny ofcourse was genuis on the guitar as always (Just listen to Su Veneno and Dile Al Amor and you'll see). Por Un Segundo was out of this world. But I enjoyed all of the songs. The song "Su Vida" with the Rock inspiration is ofcourse from Mikey, I think he really shined in that song. But really the whole album is absolutely awesome. Henry in my opinion should get more then one song per album, but I am happy with what we get. He sounded great in Princesita. If I tried to name my favorites i'd name the whole C.D. It is a MUST have. Hopefully (and I don't think it will be) this isn't their last album.
