Melodic, Nostalgic, Beatle-esque, Catchy Spanish Pop/Rock!! This album is great!!.......2006-08-11
I understand this is the band's second or third album. Whatever it is, it's a real treat. I have not heard their previous album(s), only this one and the one that came out after (see my review for "Lo Que Te Conte Mientras Te Hacias La Dormida ("What I Told You While You Were Pretending To Sleep") I am a rock fan, always have been. I like some English pop, but I hardly listen to Spanish music anymore (exceptions: Alejandro Sanz and Mexican female rocker Alejandra Guzman... and Juanes) but this album was a real nice surprise. The songs are fun, catchy, the lyrics literate and often romantic and clever. The songs are extremely well-crafted. There is some Beatles influence here; I am referring to mid-60's Beatles, around the time of "Rubber Soul"/Revolver and maybe a touch of "Abbey Road"; especially in the vocal harmonies which are really lovely (and which also recall late 70's Fleetwood Mac) and in the structure of the songs. I first heard the song "Cuidate" (translates as "Take Care of Yourself") on the radio. It was a huge hit in Mexico, (as were "Paris", "Soledad" ("Loneliness") and "La Playa" ("The Beach") ) and I was instantly hooked. The band uses lots of synthesizers, acoustic and electric guitars and sometimes strings. The sound is also kind of "retro"; sort of 60's pop/rock. "Cuidate" reminds me a bit of Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger". Te lead singer's voice is lovely, smooth, soothing and very very sexy!! I don't know her name but she is a total babe!! Some of the songs are uptempo soft rockers, others are ballads but all are finely crafted and extremely enjoyable. La Oreja de Van Gogh is one of the best Spanish music bands today!! If you like Spanish pop music, you will enjoy this album very very much!
Great Music Needs No Translation.......2006-08-05
The only deciding factor in whether this album is second only to LODVG's third album is that there are two more songs on that album than this one. None of the songs on this album are slackers. They pop and they rock. Great for dancing or rocking in the SUV on a road trip.
Good Rocking CD.......2004-01-31
Their mix of music is good. The songs are original and upbeat, a hint of 80's American music, but overall good rocking. I saw the band on Musica Si several times on the TVE network when I lived in Europe. Orega de Van Gogh won the MTV Europe Award for best band in 2000. Second CD is better than the first which to me seems to be a trend for Spanish groups.
A Big Surprise.......2003-09-28
I bought thie CD on the strength of their last album Dile al Sol
This is a great album, I enjoyed every cut on it. The first and last cuts are the ones I really get,Cuidate ad Desde el Puerto. These are fresh sounds to me and some cuts have a touch of European influence. By the way I am just about ignorant in Spanish, but listening to this CD, it doesn't matter.
W-o-W.......2003-09-02
Sadly, I rarely listen to Spanish music, even though I'm from Madrid. As it often happens with most genres, it has become repetitive, monotonous, predictable and - to say it all in one single word: commercial. My musical tastes range from varied classical music (from Mozart to Schostakovich) to nowadays most contemporary sounds such as Massive Attack, Prodigy or Chemical Brothers. Without forgeting outstanding music authors impossible to find here at Spain such as Phish, oldies like Elton John, and indeed everything that is WELL DONE. Well, after this introductory info about my musical background, you'll probably better evaluate my review about LODVG.
El Viaje de Copperpot is a good example (a very good example indeed) of how to compose good pop music without falling into routine. I've read some reviews giving out little stars to this group, and often making reference to other Spanish or Latin groups. That is in my humble opinion a big mistake since LODVG, although under the pop-rock sound movement, is unique. Their lyrics are unique, and their music is unique. If listened to all of the songs' album carefully (it happens the same on their next album) it is possible to detect a big influence in each song from a different well known group. I personally found many hidden references out of Supertramp style, though when listened for the first time they're difficult to spot.
They needn't complicated - often badly chosen - synth sounds or innovative fx to create the desired athmosphere. Yes, they have keyboards, and indeed they are very very well implemented, but this group is mainly acoustic. They utilize their resources carefully achieving clean, well designed songs, easy to listen and remember, but with harmonies, themes and scores in general well, very well made, varied, non-repetitive but preserving their astounding style.
If you think this might be too much for you, then return to Enrique Iglesias and Ricky Martin. Otherwise, I highly recommend you give them a chance.
