Gustavo Cerati trades in his electronic urges for rock reverb and jangly guitar riffs on Ahi Vamos, his first proper solo studio effort since 2002's Siempre es Hoy. In actuality, the new disc is closer in sound to some of Cerati's work as frontman for Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, which flourished throughout the 1980s. Cerati was also surely influenced by his acclaimed work with Shakira, Los Caifanes, and Babasonicos. Whatever the reason, it's allowed the prolific performer to remain a relevant force in the rock en espanol world without relying on an easy regurgitation of hits. Ahi Vamos swoops and swirls through an urgent array of styles, from arena-rock fist pumpers ("Uno Entre 1000") to '80s-inspired retro grooves ("Caravana") and moments of sparkling commercial immediacy ("Adios," "Otra Piel"). Through it all, Cerati's way with a guitar remains a wily, wondrous highlight. --Joey Guerra

Summary: Great rock album! 2007-12-23
Comment: I have always been a fan of Soda Stereo, but I've had mixed feelings about Gustavo Cerati's solo work. This album in my opinion delivers the goods. It is a pure rock album with none of that poppish nonsense. I would recommend it to anyone interested in pure rock en espanol. The whole album is great, but some of the stand-out tracks are "Adios", "La Excepcion", "Jugo de Luna", "Dios Nos Libre", and "Crimen"

Summary: Great album 2007-05-05
Comment: When I first read that Gustavo Cerati's new album was guitar-driven, I didn't know quite what to expect since I am most familiar with his more electronic-oriented music and sometimes find guitar-based music a little flat. However, this album does not disappoint. I enjoyed this album from the first time I listened to it, which to me is a sign of a good album.
Cerati certainly knows how to create richly layered and interesting music without the electronic sounds that have characterized his previous works. All of the songs on this album are worthwhile, complex, and interesting, covering a range of moods from rocking songs to more spacey and trippy ones. And one other thing that I love about this album is that there is so much going on in each song, each sometimes feeling like an entire album unto itself. I feel like I hear new things every time I listen to this album.
Over all, I highly recommend this album. There are only one or two songs I'm not crazy about, but other than that it is very, very good. Soda Stereo fans will certainly enjoy this one, as will fans of Cerati's solo works.

Summary: Cada disco es mas dificil de gustar. Este es el peor. 2007-04-07
Comment: Despues de varios esfuerzos de variante calidad en la musica electronica por fin salio este CD con musica mas rockera al estilo clasico, que electronico. Quuizas un "Amor Amarillo segunda parte?". Lo siento rockeros latinos, realmente lo intente, quise que este disco me guste pero no se dio. Creo que lo que le falta a este disco son canciones mejor compuestas, ambas en lirica (las letras son bastante estupidas si las consideramos, tipo paul McCartney que aprendio el truco hace mucho de ser ambiguo y nunca claro en su mensaje). Comparando a este disco con "Amor Amarillo" (otro disco donde la guitarra domina y no la electronica), este disco no le llega ni al taco. Es mas un taco de myerda que otra cosa. Como musica, le faltan gancchos que te agarren y te emocionen, que te den ganas de escucharlo otra vez. Lo que escuchamos en vez, es un disco muy bien producido y grabado, pero mal compuesto. Un verdadero desperdicio de recursos y una lastima. Creo que muchos fans de cerati con o sin soda quedaron con la bronca de haber sido desfraudados, como yo.

Summary: Al fin su CD, definitivamente. 2007-01-11
Comment: Al fin sucede, como la primer canciòn del nuevo trabajo de Gustavo Cerati.
Al fin sucede que este artista tan lleno de arte logre su mejor y más logrado trabajo discográfico.
Ante rumores de que Soda Stereo se forma, el demuestra que solo puede llegar a MAS de lo que Soda fue musicalmente. Personalemnte este trabajo me parece mucho mejor que todo lo que Soda Stereo consiguió, (repito) musicalmente.
Si bien volvió a las guitarras, de la mano de otro de los musicos más respetados del ambiente rockero argentino: Coleman, supo rodearse de las mejores melodias y ritmos para sumarle buenas letras y una base poderosa de la mano de Samalea en Bateria, Nale en bajo y coros, acompañándolo Fresco en teclado y coros, y el indiscutible Richard Coleman en segunda guitarra y coros.
El disco suena mucho a Coleman, una personita que compuso letras de Soda Stereo como Estoy azulado, En el Borde, Terapia de amor intensiva, y que en este trabajo compuso 4 temas junto a Gustavo Cerati, amigos ellos desde hace muchísimo tiempo.
Definitivamente, Al Fin Su CD, el mejor de Gustavo Cerati, donde en sus presentaciones en vivo lo demuestra siempre.
Nosotros, sus fans, esperamos anciosos su nuevo trabajo que será la continuación y superación del actual.
El conquistador lo llaman algunos, y no es la excepción a ninguna regla.
Es Cerati, es Gustavo, ES ARGENTINO.

Summary: Still a great album 2006-12-30
Comment: "Ahi Vamos" (There We Go) is Gustavo Cerati's fifth solo album. About three years passed between this and 2003's "Siempre es Hoy". As much of a Cerati fan that I am I have to admit that it's the first time I have skipped some tracks. There's 13 tracks total but it still would've been a good album with a couple of songs left out in the final cut, or whatever you call it.
I'm not gonna say which songs I didn't like because other people may like them, maybe because they haven't really grown on me yet. But the fact is that nearly every song is composed after a different era or genre of rock.
'Al fin sucede' and 'La excepcion' start up with very raw old rock and roll. 'Uno entre 1000' starts slow but it gets crazy at the last half. 'Caravana' sounds like it could have been played in the 80s. 'Adios' is Cerati's more personal song, therefore it's very good. 'Me quedo aqui' is very melodic and peaceful. 'Lago en el cielo' was arranged with Morrissey in mind, I think.
'Dios nos libre' is very hard and raw like the first two tracks. 'Otra piel' is very romantic and poetic, perhaps the best-written song in the album; the type of song that makes sense if you're really really in love. 'Medium' is also a very good track which has not much lyrics but very good arrangements. 'Bomba de tiempo' sounds like a song that could've come out of "Siempre es hoy", it's very electronic. 'Crimen' is the first single released and it pretty much sums up the theme of this album. It's a song fitting for the brokenhearted. 'Jugo de luna' closes things up rather nicely with very poppy sounds.
