I cannot explain how amazed I was when I listened to their original stuff, especially when Reves/Yosoy came out, which is probably the second greatest Rock En Español CD.I say second, because Cuatro Caminos is by far the best CD ever created in Spanish Rock. Every song is an entity in itself, but when combined to create the album, the result is magnificent. The multiple state of minds reached through listening is astonishing. As an example, you begin with deep introspection with Cero y Uno, continue with silliness in Eo, and proceed with a feeling of loneliness in Mediodia(my favorite song in this album).The overall rating of this CD is unfortunate, since someone who does not know anything about Cafe Tacuba made the mistake of reviewing this CD. This is not a step back, this album only proves that with enough...Read more 14 of 15 people found the following review helpful: Best Album of the Year, By This review is from: Cuatro Caminos (Audio CD) In interviews, the boys of Cafe Tacuba have said that they didn't find their lack of English to be an obstacle in their appreciation of American rock. Likewise, they have refused to record in English, figuring that we should be able to get the point. As a monoliguist who only understands the language you are now reading, I admire the hell out of that. And I think I get it. At the very least, I think this is the best album I bought all year and I think it's the best thing Cafe Tacuba have yet done.I use to be of the school of thought that believes "Re" is a masterpiece and that everything that deviates from it is a step backwards. I now think that's very limited. "Re" is a lot of fun (again, I can't speak to the lyrics but the music is certainly entertaining)but its mixture of recognizable genres could be seen a stunt, albeit a successful one. "Cuatro Caminos" is the work of a band with it's own voice. I can't wait for the next one. I use to...Read more 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  Tomar el fresco, By Billy Shakespeare (Ann Arbor, Mich.) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cuatro Caminos (Audio CD) This is simply another solid effort from one of the finest, most innovative modern bands in any genre. One thing I thought curious was a starburst sticker on the package quoting some rock mag or other to the effect that Cuatro Caminos "could be the Kid A of Latin rock." While I'm happy if a comparison to Radiohead when Radiohead is so hot helps Cafe Tacvba move some merchandise, I'd say that that notion misses by one release. This one is nowhere near as experimental as Reves/Yosoy, but rather harkens back to the sound of their earlier work. That's not to say it's a regression, but, like Radiohead with Hail to the Thief, the band has pushed its boundaries and now feels confident in returning a bit to their roots while still incorporating some of the more offbeat elements they've explored in recent years.In this vein, Cuatro Caminos moves from "Eo," a rollicking, abstract song with the locomotive rhythm fans will recognize from a number of tunes on Reves (and a...Read more |
