Free Music Review: IT WILL BLOW YOUR HEAD AWAY!!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
mago de oz is one of the best ive heard, not only because they are grate musicians, but also because they have created a new way to enjoy music by adding violins flutes and keyboard to a metal background with really meeningful lyrics that will blow your mind, dipping their fingers in to music they will take you for a ride from the most simple rock and roll to the most complex oberture , you dont really need to speak spanish to enjoy their music, just listen to it, it will blow you away. now this album in particular is exelent, has more slow songs than previous albums but that doesnt mean its boring, not at all in fact, if some people concider that as a downer, you could say that they compensate this by including more sophisticated orchestral arrangements keeping you interested to the end, with songs going in to the 20 min range, you could say they have used every bit of their talents to keep you on the edge without beenig boring, mixing dozens of styles in a way that sounds perfect... thats a challenge... thats Mago De Oz.Free Music Review: Awesome!

Mago de Oz is, unfortunately, not very well known here in America, but they're definitely one of the top bands in the entire world at the moment. "Gaia" was my first exposure to MdO, and from the very first listen, I was simply blown-away. There are other metal bands that blend genres - Rhapsody being my personal favorite, but no one does it as organically as Mago de Oz. This music sounds like it was simply dropped from the heavens into the laps of the incredibly talented musicians that make up the group.
Essentially, Mago de Oz is "folk metal." They perfectly blend power metal (think Iron Maiden, Edguy, or Sonata Arctica) with heavy folk, celtic, and gaelic elements. Piano, violin, flute, and other wind instruments are incorporated heavily into the music, and even if, like me, you don't speak Spanish, and have no clue as to what the lyrics are about, it's almost impossible to resist the urge to sing along with these masterpieces. The packaging is also absolutely brilliant. Acclaimed Spanish artist Gaboni draws their album covers, and his style is basically to create a picture that you look at for hours on end and still find new things. He (and the band - the drummer's stage name is Txus di Fellatio) also have a great sense of humor - some of the discoveries you'll make within the album cover include a gelatanous creature rolling a huge joint; R2-D2 out of commission with a brick through him; the grim reaper wearing eyeglasses over his eyeball-less skull, and a dripping condom hanging off of his scythe. There's lots more to discover as well, which is somewhat symbolic of MdO's music - it's wonderful on first listen, but with each new listen, there's more to discover and love. The vocalist is absolutely brilliant, and the Spanish language really works perfectly for this band - I'm very glad they didn't try to "go English" with their music.
"Gaia" is highly recommended for any music fan, anywhere in the world.
Free Music Review: Debes darle una oportunidad
Hit: 3 Stars
Este disco marca un giro un tanto radical en cuanta a las letras y al estilo que tra?a M?go en discos anteriores. En este disco est?n m?s abocados a la protecci?n de la tierra y sus seres (Gaia: la madre naturaleza). Sin embargo, mantienen el estilo Rock/Fulk/Celta de discos como Finisterra. Este cambio m?s que todo en la letras no ca?do bien a los o?dos de ciertos fans que son un poco m?s metaleros y gustan m?s de discos como Jes?s de Chamber? y La leyenda de la mancha.
Personalmente el disco me gusta, es solo que es un poco "suave" (en lo que a la letras de las canciones se refiere creo que el m?s suave y "rom?ntico" de todos), aun as? hay que darle una oportunidad al disco y escuchar el mensaje positivo que intenta dar.
Eso s? la calidad del disco, sobre todo la mezclas y la claridad del sonido es superior a los discos anteriores.
Free Music Review: Cambiaron, pero sigue siendo mago!!
Hit: 3 Stars
Buenoooooo este disco es el cambio radical de Mago De oz hacia temas mas ecologistas y de superacion, a muchos no le gusto este cambio, yo no soy uno de ellos, pienso que este disco es bueno, pero definitivamente no es lo mejor de mago, y al terminar de escuchar de este disco muchos han decidido sobre el seguir siendo fans de mago de oz o no...asi de drastico es su cambio.
Obertura MDXX = 7/10 A pesar de ser la intro, es muy buena!! no es de las intros que no queres escuchar mas despues de haberla escuchado una o 2 veces
Gaia = 9.5/10 Definitavemente la mejor cancion del disco, solo por esta cancion ya vale la pena comprar este disco, la version en vivo en "MADRID LAS VENTAS" supera a esta version de estudio, pero aun asi es buenisima!!
La conquista = La peor cancion del disco 4/10
Alma = 9/10 No creo que los fans ateos de mago paren cantando el coro de esta cancion "Mi alma hoy quiere volar..." jajaj
La Costa Del Silencio = 8/10 Y para cuando hayan terminado de escuchar esta cancion...supongo que ya estan pensando "y a estos los poseyo algun espiritu ecologista?" "se volvieron locos?" jajaj
El Arbol De La Noche Triste = 8/10 Calmadita...muy buena! , la version en vivo en el DVD MADRID LAS VENTAS tiene de yapa unas hermosas mujeres para deleitar la vista... 8/10
La Rosa De Los Vientos = 6/10 Yo creo que los fans del "antiguo" mago de oz, han querido cortarse las venas despues de escuchar esta cancion.... a los que se deprimen seguido supongo que les levanta el animo..., quitando todo eso....es buena pero la version en "BELFAST" es mas de mi agrado
La Leyenda De La Llorona = 3/10 Instrumental...aburrida..
Van A Rodar Cabezas = 9/10 Para muchos la mejor cancion de este disco, en mi humilde opinion no le gana a "gaia", con esta cancion comienzan el concierto de "MADRID LAS VENTAS" , y nuevamente la version en vivo supera a esta version de estudio
El atrapasue?os = 5/10 ehh esto es mago??
Si te vas = 8/10 Para los enamorados!!
La venganza de Gaia = 9/10 = Una excelente cancion para terminar este polemico disco!!
TOTAL = 85.5/120 y aplicando una simple regla de tres da 3.5 estrellas, redondeando... 3 estrellas!!
CALIDAD DE SONIDO DEL CD = MUY BUENA
DVD = Es bueno....si es que te gust? el disco...
