The Best W y Y Album to Date--Which is Saying a Lot!,
April 29, 2011 the solution "phoolio535" (Oregon) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Los Vaqueros, El Regreso [2 CD Deluxe Edition] (Audio CD)
This is Wisin y Yandel's best album to date, with La Revolución and the Los Extraterrestres coming in as close second and third, respectively. The album starts off banging hot with "Muévete," a rock-star-worthy pump-up jam, and then transcends into a non-stop hit fest that is going to keep Latin America's clubs, cars, and gyms energized for months to come. I'd say just about 20 of the 22 tracks are excellent, which is a large share of an unconventionally long Reggaeton album (admittedly, one of the misfires is 50 Cent's guest appearance, which just sounds misplaced). I've been listening to the album start to finish for about four weeks straight and still have not gotten tired of it, because the quality and complexity of the sound the duo is creating is superb. As always, W y Y maintain access to the most cutting-edge production quality in the Latin urban music world, with piercing treble highs to keep the ladies on the dance floor moving, and booming bass lows that will...Read more

The album was all that I had hoped for in an album by this duo--musical, tuneful, danceable, yet full of the rapid fire rhymes and humerous asides that mark their best tracks. The music veers from traditional Reggaeton rhythms to drum tracks that are more influenced by North American hip hop; both sit side by side comfortably. The raps in Spanish are delivered with the mix of humor and aggression that I love in this duo, but they don't forget to include interesting melody as well, and their choruses are often very catchy. They have a lot of fascinating references in the music, including a melodic tip of the hat to "Tarzan Boy" by Baltimora. Really? Yes. And the more amazing thing--they make it sound natural and fascinating.
Reggaeton is something of an acquired taste--but if you have experienced the joy, the wild abandon, the life so evident in this...Read more

: I've heard it over and over and over again...can't stop! I've truly enjoyed it and will continue to enjoy it. I love Wisin & Yandel anyway!
Not all 5 stars because there was a song or two with other artists that just were not my cup of tea. I would still have bought it anyway.
