Free Music Notes for Oral Fixation Vol. 2
Free Music Review: Not overly impressed
Hit: 3 Stars
After putting out many albums, one would hope that an artist would grow and become better at their art. Well, don't look here for that. There were a few OK songs, one or two good songs, and that's it. The remainder of this album was boring beyond compare, and I'm sorry I wasted my money on it.Free Music Review: Listen to Shakira!

I have always liked Shakira. When I heard "Whenever, wherever"...I though: that's a great artist. She is not only good singer but also very beautfiul. The album cover is very beautiful this time and it has a message: a woman with an apple...but what is that child?
Well, I think this is the best Shakira album ever!!! It has very beautiful songs. The single "Don't Bother" isn't the best song in this album. This is one of those album I like to hear from the beginning to the end, not just three or two songs. The first track "How Do You Do" is a great track! It starts with a great "intro". It is the best Shakira song I've ever heard. "Don't Bother" is a good song but not so special. "Illegal", "The day And the Time" are great Shakira songs. "Animal City" is a little bit more rock. The album has great melodies and rhythms and great lyrics. This was and it is still a great listening experience. I hope many people find this album. "Timor" is a great closing track - but this album has also 10 other great songs.
Stars: How Do You Do, Illegal, Don't Bother

I like Shakira's music most of the time. Even tough I have her whole cd collection (the ones that you can find in stores because her first and second are impossible find). Not all were for me good. "PIES DESCALZOS" next with "FIJACION ORAL Vol.1" are the best.
In 2005 after being tired of hearing her ALL THE TIME on radio or TV I bought "Fijacion ORAL Vol.1" and I must say that I was impressed, the cd was really, really good, so of course when the second volume was released I bought it without hesitation but this time I wasn't very thrilled and I think that also the public had the same feeling for the cd as I did. The cd debuted on Billboard's Top 200 albums at #5 where it peakd and flopped very fast in almost every music chart. The first single "DON'T BOTHER" was good but nothing special and didn't make either an impression (Top 50 on Billboard's Hot 100). From my point of view the best songs on the original version were "HOW DO YOU DO" a very strong song that sounds very good along with "ANIMAL CITY", the English version next to Cerati of "DIA ESPECIAL/DAY AND THE TIME" from the Spanish cd and finally the biggest track for me, "ILLEGAL" featuring Santana on lead guitar. In overall the cd sounds weak and maybe Shakira or her record company noticed that and along with the poor selling they decided to re-release the album with a new song that made the album see brightness for a brief moment with the mega hit "HIPS DON'T LIE" one of the biggest singles of 2006 but that wasn't enough to keep the album from falling again to the darkness. The third single "ILLEGAL" went nowhere and that's a pity beacuse of the great track it is but I think that the reason why it didn't hit was because even tough Shakira has a great voice, that doesn't mean that you don't get tired of listening it and "HIPS DON'T LIE" was good for her but it also made people tired of her voice. Maybe this happends to me beacuse I live in a country that speaks Spanish and I've been listening to her music non-stop ever sience "LA TORTURA" which is a very good song and I believe that it's going to be a classic.
Anyway, I think that the album is not that good really, just a couple of songs are good. If you speak Spanish I would recommend "FIJACION ORAL Vol.1" or "PIES DESCALZOS".

Me gusta el disco, en general, pero creo que Shakira puedo haber hecho un mejor trabajo; yo tengo toda su discografia, y elogio brillantes trabajos como LAUNDRY SERVICE, DONDE ESTAN LOS LADRONES y FIJACION ORAL 1 (donde hasta nos demostro que puede cantar samba y reggaeton); las canciones son bonitas, pero no hay alguna pieza que sea trascendental... me refiero a que sea de caracter "INOLVIDABLE", como decir ANTOLOGIA, YOU'RE THE ONE o MOSCAS EN LA CASA, bellisimas canciones que demuestran ese talento inigualable de Shakira; ?que paso con esa brillantez? no niego que el disco es muy bueno, pero le falto ese "toque" tan especial que todos sus antecesores han poseido.
