5.0 out of 5 stars DIANTRE!! Much better than hyped!, July 22, 2004

A great album that I'm sure will be slept on. It is better than El Hombre Mas Famoso De La Tierra and Americanizao, and just about as good as El Padrino, if not better as well. From beginning to end it is just pure perfection! Trai la bulla is the song you MUST play at festivals or carnivals. Suave is just that: smooth, first GOOD reggae song that uses accordion well.Picante has that seemingly trademark Fulanito sound found in "La Novela", & "Asi Es Que Vivo Yo". Pegate is THE song of the Summer house party no doubt about it! Ricardo Gutierrez shows off in this one, and it is great! Todavia is a reggaeton/bachata produced by DJ Nelson, who is notorious in the reggaeton genre, responsible for bringing in the monsters Luny Tun & Noriega, the track is very sentimental and carries very well, especially when it climaxes into Jay "El Boricua"'s Solo vocals. Gozando vivire is that song that you will skip the first time you hear, but the second time around you'll find yourself repeating it, they used a loop of a Salsa called "El Preso" and turned it into reggaton, they honor it with a "Oye!" and a "Ay-ay-ay" here and there as homenage to the original that had those expressions. Diantre is THE theme song for this album because that's all I could say track after track, just Diantre! Its Reggaeton with more Hip Hop-like aspects to the beat, Dose "EL Morenito" makes a stand when he warns his competition that "Mis mala palabras son como balas, siempre se pegan y nunca fallan: A mi no me tire que te vas a estrallar... For real!". DIANTRE! Feliz Cumplea?os sounds like they are going back to their "740 Boyz" roots, it is a very unique love song that also has that "La Novela" Feeling, its fast paced and has lyrics that you can get drunk and sad to, aparently he celebrates his ex girlfriend's birthday even though they're not together anymore. La Verdad the title track is a slower paced merengue, a remake of Johnny Ventura's classic, with just the right touch of Fulanito goodness, very addictive track! Mala Mala, is a Fulanito perico ripiao that has classic written all over it, "Tu nunca me querias so why you want me now". Reguero de mujeres is my favorite track on the album, another perico rap, it features lyrics from Pickles "El Gordito", Dose "EL Morenito", and Danny "El Chulo" who makes a ground shaking introduction of himself. And finally Bump and rub reencarnates the Americanizao sound with a cameo by King De La Rosa who was on every other song back in the day, and produced by Winston "El Chiquito" and Dose "El Morenito", which would explain why it sounds reminiscent of "El Generalisimo". They make reference to Dose's first track "Wiggle it" from 1991 when they went by "2 in a room", the track sounds like a victory dance of a job well done, an excellent way to close an excellent album! ITS PERFECT! Buy it! And while you're at it, buy El Padrino, Americanizao, El Hombre Mas Famoso, 2 in a room's Wiggle it & World Party, and 740 Boyz self titled album! You Will love them! I DO! Two Thumbs Way, Way Up!!!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!, THEY HAVE COMPLETLY JUMPED ON THE REGGEATON BANDWAGON, AND IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE, HE TRIES TO RAP, BUT IT'S OFF BEAT. SONGS LIKE FELIZ CUMPLEANOS WILL MAKE YOU CRY IT'S SO PATHETIC, I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALBUM THESE PEOPLE LISTENED TO, BUT COMING FROM DJ, THIS WILL GET NO PLAY ON MY TECHNICS. I GAVE IT ONE STAR FOR HAVING THE NERVE TO DROP THIS TRASHG

Yo no habia oido mucho de Fulanito antes de comprarme el CD. Por eso es que fue tan sorprendente cuando el CD estallo en mi casa. El problema que todos los que compren este CD van a tener es el que yo tuve, se quejo un vecino mio porque lo estaba poniendo muy alto!
El merengue y reggeaton de Fulanito tiene un sabor y energia sin igual. Mucho de eso es por tener un gran sabor con un toque de hip-hop, mezclado con su estilo ripiao(con accordeon). Gracias a este disco buen numero de argumentos he tenido yo con un amigo mio gringo por decir que el accordeon es instrumento de nerd.
