Here's a description and rating of each song in this album:

Puedes Contar Conmigo- Its first single. Very energetic, written entirely by Amaia (the vocalist.) In my opinion, my favorite song. R: 5/5

20 de enero- Also very energetic. Beautiful, romantic lyrics. R: 4.5/5

Rosas- The BIG hit! Another single. Not as energetic as the previous 2 songs but beautiful lyrics. This is more of like a pop ballad. This song ranked in #1 in Mexico and Spain and ranked one of the highest positions in the U.S. and other countries. Definately, one of my favorites. R: 5/5...Read more

When I first listened to this album, I was a bit disappointed and thought La Oreja were repeating themselves. Then I listened to it again, and again, and realized how wrong I was. It's been a month now and I listen to it at least three times every day!

This album requires more attention than El viaje de Copperpot. Lyrics are more complicated and it takes a while to appreciate the real genious of most songs.

THE HIGHLIGHTS
ROSAS. It's up there with LA PLAYA as one of the best pop ballads of recent times. love the chorus. choruses are La Oreja's specialty.
BONUSTRACK. the untitled, electronic track 15. interesting, nonsense lyrics and a great voice effect that turns Amaia's singing into a keyboard.
LA PAZ DE TUS OJOS. again, a monumental chorus. 'come and tell me that story about princesses and love that I once told you'. intense.
GEOGRAFÍA. a new sound for La Oreja, a mix of South American and Spanish folk, with creative lyrics about creating an...Read more

I LOVE THIS CD!!! I was in a music store looking for a Nek cd, an Italian singer (check him out if you don't know who he is--he's italian but also sings in spanish), but they had never heard of Nek. So I was determined to get SOMETHING. I nearly got a cd in Arabic (I have a thing for languages) but it was between that and this. They had those things where you can scan a cd and listen to clips of songs, so I was doing that by picking up random cds from the World Music rack. When I came across La Oreja de Van Gogh, I thought, well this sounds pretty good; I'll take a risk and get it.

I am sooo glad that I bought it! It's such a great group--the tunes really stay in your head. My favs are: Puedes Contar Conmigo, Rosas, Geografia, Tu y Yo, Vestido Azul, Perdoname, and La Paz de Tus Ojos.

Really, ALL of them are great. The last track is a little weird because it doesn't have many lyrics and it's just like a dance number, but it's not bad.
