3.0 out of 5 stars
SOLID, not amazing..., April 21, 2005
Honestly, I love Laura Pausini. She's great. Italian, Spanish, English - doesn't matter. Escucha Atento's a good album, with gems like "viveme", "me abandono de ti", "como si no nos hubieramos amado" and "tan importante" - but I can't give the album more than 3 stars because there are a few songs that, quite simply, feel deflated.
Fillers like "donde el aire es ceniza" , "hablame" and "tu nombre en mayusculas" fall short of sticking in my memory like the others, and I'm not necessarily holding that against Laura (since I don't know who has the ultimate say on what songs make the final cut), whose voice is as strong as her previous albums. I feel also like there are waaaaay too many of those synthesized orchestral-string sounds. I don't know - it gives me "mid 90s" -- one reason why I love this album is b/c of their use of unplugged sounds -- piano, acoustic guitar, etc. It highlights her naturally powerful voice. They unfortunately didn't use those sounds enough, and when you set Laura's voice aside Yanni-esque overtures (think "bendecida pasion", it doesn't sit well. Too Celine. I can't jump for joy over this album, sadly. It won't be a waste of money, but it didn't blow me away.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Refreshingly New, November 15, 2004
I'd like to tell you that this is the 5th review I write on Laura Pausini albums, I have since then changed my e mail but encourage you to look for my name and the highest marks on customers being helped with my reviews.
Escucha! I like the title to begin with. Laura is once again opening up to her fans and letting her voice flow to the words bursting with the emotions her heart feels day to day. I can't decide which is my favorite song yet, but I am truly impressed with these changes, the rythm of these songs are great, I would describe this album as evolved. She speaks of love like always and mistakes, mistakes, mistakes, those that make us who we are going to become and that reflects on this cd, Laura is much more mature just like her music, still with her unparalled voice and complicated yet understanded lyrics it is truly a work of art. We all look for these words, because we don't know how to express them ourselves and when you listen to these songs you realize how beautiful life can be with her music to place you where you are.
This cd is very inspirational to me, it's very personal and once again Laura sings without fear, no fear of making something we might not like, and again she strikes gold! Brava Laura! See you soon. Can't wait to hear you in concert, you truly have an angejelic voice!

Excellent, October 29, 2004
I just bought the cd and i give to it 5 five stars. Laura's voice in spanish has matured a lot from her last cd (Lo mejor de..)
I advice people who love good music to buy it as her other cd productions.
