I'm not the biggest fan of Rap/Hip Hop music, but I think Uno, Dos: Bandera is one of the best Spanish Rap/Hip Hop album ever released. I like every track of this album and I highly recommend.

To be honest, this is my first cd of Control Machete; I'd heard a song of theirs on a show and had to hear more. It's not the music I normally listen to, but I really enjoy this. I do love Latin music, hip hop, reggeaton and so I thought this would make sense that I'd like this. I have to say I'm not disappointed. I don't understand Spanish, but it doesn't matter; it's the music that I'm really enjoying and their delivery that I like.
My favourite songs on here is Como ves (the reason why I bought this in the first place), and El el camino. If you don't understand the lyrics, I find that that isn't a hinderance. It's still really good music and based on this performance, I'd definately look into getting some of their other work. This is great.

I requested several of Control Machete's albums for Christmas, and happened to receive this one first. I do not consider myself a hip-hop fan, nor do I speak very much Spanish. I read the reviews that perhaps implied that this album was not as good as the previous ones, but now in comparison I feel it is my favorite. Control Machete's previous albums were more reminiscent of earlier hip hop; their style was rough, their music unformed. This album is more polished and put together (perhaps to some people's dismay) but it has a much darker edge to it and is overall more fun for me than the other albums were. True, some of my favorite songs are on other albums, but overall I feel this album was the best investment as I truly appreciate each and every song. It has a quality to it that you can feel lacking in the earlier albums, and I could listen straight through this album again and again. If you are a first time experiencer of Control Machete, or perhaps have enjoyed a single or two, it is time to take the plunge and invest in one of the most creative groups around. You will not regret buying this CD.

i love the new control machete album. their style has changed but not to bad. it's a natural development now without fermin iv its different but still great. fresh music. the bonus vcd is also very good. my opinion is that its a great album with a lot of interesting creative music and art.

El disco no esta mal, pero se siente la ausencia de Fermin. El intercambio de los dos fue lo que mas me gusto del grupo. Sin Fermin suena desbalanceado. Se parece mucho al nuevo CD de Resorte con Pato. Como Artilleria Pesada no hay dos.

EN ESTA NUEVA PRODUCCION LOS MACHETES VIENEN A RETOMAR EL LUGAR QUE, PARECIA HABIAN PERDIDO, CON UNO DOS:BANDERA, CONTROL MACHETE NOS ENTREGA 13 TEMAS+ UN VCD, DE PRIMER NIVEL, NO SOLO INCUYE EXCELENTES PARTICIPACIONES MUSICALES, SINO UNA SERIE DE VIDEOS U JUEGO DE IMAGENES, QUE VIENE ACOMPANANDO CADA CANCION. ALGUNOS TEMAS QUE ME PARECEN SUPER BIEN LOGRADOS SON:EN EL CAMINO, EL GENIO DEL DUB, COMO VES, Y PODRIA SEGUIR PORQUE EL DISCO ES REALMENTE MUY BUENO DE PRINCIPIO A FIN, PARA LAS PERSONAS QUE OPINAN QUE FERMIN IV, HACE FALTA EN LA BANDA, PUES NO NECESARIAMENTE, AUNQUE ES UN MUY BUEN MC, PATO Y TOY YO CREO QUE SON LA PARTE MAS ESENCIAL DE CONTROL MACHETE, OJALA Y FERMIN IV REGRESARA A CONTROL MACHETE. UNO DE LOS MEJORES DISCOS DEL 2003.

Don't speak the language... but then again... Don't really care what they are talking about... good rhythms and vocals.... can't be offended by lyrics as I know not the meaning, but can still head bop with comfort.

Este CD es uno de los mas perrones que an salido. A Todos los que no les gusto son unos pendejos y no saben de musica. Todas las canciones estan perronas especialmente Bien Bien, Como Ves, Paciencia, Toda La Casa, De, Nocione, En El Camino. Este CD se lo recomiendo a todos los verdaderos fans De CONTROL MACHETE y alos que no les gusto que se vallan ala chin.

Oye huevones! If you liked the gutsy and catchy Control Machete with Fermin IV, then you probably will NOT like this CD. The writers now are obviously not as good as Fermin. There are no catchy tunes, the songs are monotonous and not interesting. Don't bother buying this!

Este album es basura, prefiero escuchar mucho barato y artilleria pesada mil veses otra vez ke escuchar cualquier cancion de este disco. No sirve no tiene ritmo no es hip hop.
