Free Music Review: Juancho, baby, this one is just too much...
Hit: 2 Stars
As if 4 more years of George Bush weren't enough! Now we need to endure Juan Luis Guerra's return as a born again Christian. Hmmmmmm.... I've been a big fan of yours for years, Juancho, and I tried hard with this one, but it's just a little too much for me. (I do like the one about the wasp, and perhaps not coincidentally, it is one of the few non-religious tunes in there. Or did you mean WASP? Yikes...!) With all due respect, I wish you and your religious following, the best of luck.Free Music Review: Scary
Hit: 1 Stars
I have followed JLG career from the begining, and I own all of his cds. I always considered JLG to be among the finest songwriters in the spanish language next to Silvio Rodriguez, Joan Manuel Serrat,etc. He was able to combine the art of songwriting and the joyfull rythms of Merengue and Bachata, a great combination. Suddenly he finds God and it seems he does not care anymore for anything else. The whole cd is dedicated to Mr.Guerra own redemption to make the whole world know that he found God. Thats Ok for newspaper articles, for interviews, etc. Maybe for 1, 2 even 3 songs on a cd, where he could have described his new love. But to make people spend money to make him feel good its not Ok, even denigrades people who does not share his beliefs (Las avispas). Somebody else wrote the best comment here and I am going to copy it because I think he described at best how this cd rates. This person wrote that he prefered JLG when God was found on a child being born, on people dreaming of a rain of coffee beans, on bubles of love, etc.
It is dissapointing to me that such a great artist and person transformed himself in such a way, that it is not enough to believe in God for the good of himself, but that he tries to make everybody who bought this cd think te same way. It is scary.
I hope in his next cd he finds not only God, but he finds back his huge talent of songwriting and more specially his fans. I will wait in line for his next cd.
Free Music Review: Just AWFUL
Hit: 1 Stars
This CD was a true disappointment. I understand that an artist would like to express what is important in his/her life... but on EVERY SINGLE SONG? It just seemed like he forgot that his fans are many, and that it was not only his amazing beat (which is the only surviving element from his past works), but his everyday themes that attracted us to Juan Luis Guerra. I still consider myself a fan, and will be looking for his next work, hoping it resembles his amazingly great past CDs. Hasta entonces!
Free Music Review: Que Decepcion
Hit: 1 Stars
Escuche pedazos de las canciones que ofrece Amazon.com. Lamentablemente esperaba mas de sus canciones de amor, de la vida cotidiana y de esos temas que lo hicieron famoso. Pero lo que escuche son canciones acerca de religion y de Dios. Si yo quiero oir de Dios la mejor manera es ir a la Iglesia. Este disco no se acerca a nada a sus otros trabajos anteriores.Free Music Review: Another great artist lost to proselytism
Hit: 1 Stars
Everybody has political and religious positions, and they influence what one does as a professional. However, as a general rule, artists do much better when they stay away from proselytizing in their artistic work.
This CD has been a terrible disappointment to someone who has been a big fan of Juan Luis Guerra over the years.
