El Tren de los Momentos, as well as Alejandro Sanz's previous CD, No Es Lo Mismo, are great examples os a singer's ability to be authentic. Years go by, life changes, people change, and their way to see (and to sing) reality follow suit. The poetry, the energy, and the intentionally-hidden interpretations of Alejandro Sanz's work fascinate me once more. Different? Yes. But here lies the beauty of this newborn CD: El Tren de los Momentos pictures life in its forever changing state. My advice? Change with it! Just get on this train and enjoy the beauty of accepting change.

After the mediocre last CD No Es Lo Mismo this is a true return to form Alejandro.

The only reason this didn't get a five is because 5 is what Mas and El Alma Al Aire got. As good as this CD is it's not as good as those ones.

What stands out is that Alejandro seems to be going back to his sound pre-No Es Lo Mismo (thank god for that). There is a nod to 3, Mas, and El Alma Al Aire in this CD.

The stand out tracks for me are "Ensename Tus Manos" and the duet with Shakira "Te Lo Agradezco Pero No" which is brilliant. I'm not a big Shakira fan but they've managed to tone down her voice enough to make her bearable and the song brilliant. Shakira is an original singer but her voice can be overpowering and isn't really made for ballads. Anyway, both those songs will be huge.

Other great tracks are "En La Planta De Tus Pies" which in singing style for Sanz... sounding awfully like Tiziano Ferrer. It works. "Te Quiero Te Amo" is another cahnge in direction for Sanz, a bluesy number which also works (think John Mayer's latest work). "A La Primera Persona" is also a great song which is all over radio.

Two complaints, one minor one major. The minor one is that the flamenco influence has been toned down considerably particularly musically but also slightly in his voice, in Mas and El Alma Al Aire his voice was filled with flamenco infections. I always loved those things about his music.

The major complaint is that Alejandro Sanz does not do rock or urban very well yet he continually tries to and it needs to stop. The worst songs on the album are all the ones where he delves into rock or urban such as "Se Molestan" (terrible) and also "Peleita" with Juanes & Calle 13. You wouild think with a line up like that it would be brilliant but it's just really bad.

Ni Es Lo Mismo was wasted money, this one is worth buying and everyone should.

Now, we'll see what he does with his impending English language album.

Romantic, beautifully created.

Este disco no tiene desperdicio. Está formulado bajo el ritmo más maduro actual de Alejandro Sanz y la participación de los demás artistas (Shakira, Juanes, Calle 13) se deja sentir.

Si te gusta la música de Sanz, especialmente sus últimos discos, disfrutarás este disco sin lugar a dudas.

I love Sanz lyrics, his voice, and music. All of which are simply beautiful in this latest release. The duet with Shakira is so appealing and sexy. All the songs are very special just like Sanz.

No words to describe the feeling of this CD. Listen to the lyrics and the background music - beautiful. I never been disappointed by his music, hope never will be...

I looove Alejandro but I'm so sorry to say that this CD is a huge let down. Donde estas Alejandro? que en este CD no te encuentro.

¿Donde quedo el maravilloso poeta que nos regalaba intensas emociones en cada una de sus letras? Que nos regalaba sentimiento en cada cancion.

Este disco es una burla, se podrian rescatar 3 y media canciones: Enseñame tus manos, Se lo dices tu, A la primera persona y una parte de Te lo agradezco, pero no, porque aun esta ultima en sus estrofas finales es un desastre.

Las letras de casi todo el disco son realmente insoportables, indignas de Alejandro Sanz. ¿Donde esta el baladista romantico que nos enamoro? Creo que se lo trago la onda rap-reguetona en la que anda metido.

De hecho "La peleita" es la peor cancion de Sanz en su carrera: "Tu corazon pequeño como un limon" ¿Qué falta de respeto es esa? ¿Esa es una letra de un artista que se respete?

Y con "El tren de los momentos" uno se imagina una balada fuerte y sentida de esas que Sanz sabe escribir y muy bien. Pero resulta un desastre que no vale la pena oir dos veces, no solo porque no es una balada, sino porque tiene una música decepcionante.

Por mi parte voy a hacer como que este disco nunca existió... Es una involución, un retroceso, totalmente prescindible. Y que conste que estoy de acuerdo con la evolución del artista, pero el concepto musical que se maneja no respeta al Alejandro Sanz que admiramos.

Dios mio es el peor cd de Alejandro Sanz que e oido por dios que le paso??
Segun dice el se encerro para poder inspirarce. Pues para mi que ese encierro no le sirvio de nada mejor que se hubiera encerrado en el baño y tal vez ahi se hubiera inspirado mejor.Ese junte con calle 13 por dios que porqueria de cancion la idea de poner como promocion la cancion A la Primera persona fue buena idea porque si promocionaban alguna otra nadie escucharia este cd porque honestamente Alejandro debe mas bien tiene que hacer una produccion mejor que esta lo antes posible porque si no va a perder muuuuuchos fanaticos de el

I heard some of Alejandro's music on the soundtrack for a movie. It was beautiful, so I looked for his albums and chose this one. It is really wonderful. While I am not fluent in Spanish, it doesn't make any difference, the music is so captivating.
