With 16 million total units in global sales (1999's MTV Unplugged has sold 3 million copies so far), four-time Grammy winners Maná are one of the biggest Latin rock bands around. Revolución de Amor, the four-piece band's first studio album in five years, continues Maná's ongoing dual interest in themes of love and social issues, and the band is masterful at packaging its potent messages in an accessible guitar-based sound. Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Maná create an organic mix of classic rock, modern rock, and traditional Latin music that will appeal to fans of Santana and Rubén Blades (both of whom make guest appearances here). But the band is also able to attract younger audiences thanks to punkier songs such as "Nada Que Perder," which could very easily break through on K-rock radio stations across the U.S. One of Maná's best albums to date, Revolución de Amor is proof positive that Latin rock can be accessible to a broad range of people who don't speak Spanish. --Tad Hendrickson

This was the first Maná CD I have ever purchased. I really like it. They blend traditional latin music and great rock guitar work. I will buy more of their recordings.

2 out of 5 stars Más de lo mismo.......2005-10-27

La banda latina más vendedora de discos regresa con un disco prescindible totalmente. Decepciona incluso, pues se esperaba algo diferente al muy bueno "Sueños líquidos", pero suena como a una mala continuación de este, e incluso, queda por debajo. Monótono, lleno de clichés propios del grupo, con pseudo himnos revolucionarios como "Justicia, tierra y libertad" o el típico y repetitivo hit al más puro estilo Maná, como lo es "Ángel de amor". Lo único rescatable del disco son las bellas "Mariposa traicionera" y "Eres mi religión", convirtiéndose esta incluso en uno de los clásicos de toda la discografía del grupo, pues es la única canción en donde la letra tiene rasgos de una muy buena lírica, conjugado con una gran música. Fher suena cansado y Alex, Sergio y Juan, aunque muy talentosos, no explotan su capacidad si continuan haciendo reiteraciones inútiles. Maná debe regenerarse o estará condenada a pasar desapercibido en el panorama de las bandas propositivas. Aunque quizá, el pop que hacen actualmente les resulte mucho más redituable, como de hecho sucede, dejando de lado la música desde hace mucho tiempo, prefiriendo entonces la danza de los millones. Maná está para mucho más que eso.

5 out of 5 stars An advance beyond their past.......2005-08-19

I realize that I'm operating at a disadvantage in reviewing this CD. I don't speak Spanish (although I took it in high school and college) and I haven't followed Maná throughout their career. I'm just an late-arriving Americano who appreciates good music whatever its country of origin.

Nevertheless, I was blown away by this CD's sound: its harmony, arrangement, and emotion. In fact, I was blown away enough to order the 3-CD set of their earlier CDs on Warner, based on Amazon reviewers' raves about their earlier work. I can appreciate where those reviewers were coming from, but I still like "Revolucion de Amor" the best.

For my money, the earlier Maná was a worthy band in the Police vein, but a bit minimalist. This CD, where they arguably went corporate (or whatever), fleshes out their potential and really delivers.

Hey, even with English-language bands, I usually place the lyrics in the background and concentrate on the overall sound. On that count, this CD delivers as much as, say, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or the Sisters of Mercy or Procol Harum or Phil Spector's girl groups. Solid harmonies, good musicianship, great balance.

That may just be succumbing to the allures of pop production, but good pop is all too rare, ironically enough.

I hope that the band is working on another CD, three years on, and look forward to what they come up with.

5 out of 5 stars mariposa traicionera.......2005-08-07

Just want to say that I don't know much Spanish, but I do tune into Spanish radio stations cos' I love the sound. I think it was around 12/03 that I kept hearing Mariposa Traicionera on the radio. The name of the song was not announced or maybe it was but I just missed it. The song had this hold on me and I just had to find out who the singer was. Searched the internet with just the keyword "mariposa" and after much work, I finally discovered this Mana band. Have bought a few of their albums since, and am still going through the letras with my Spanish Dictionary! Other songs of the band I like are for example, Te llore un rio, Oye mi amor, Como te deseo,Te llevare al cielo, Eres mi religion. Well, I could go on and on...

4 out of 5 stars Metal with a hispanic twist.......2007-04-13

Don't worry, the vocals aren't all in Spanish, but he does throw in some lines here and there, but the effect is actually good. The sound has elements of hispanic music mixed with a traditional nu-metal approach. This album is by far their best, and rocks pretty hard, with screaming and melodic singing. Christian, the singer, has a good voice and sets this band apart from most nu-metal acts. These guys are probably not for everyone, but if you like to try some different sounding metal, you should check them out.

5 out of 5 stars Rip out your eyes and just use your ears!.......2007-01-25

One of the greatest debut's in nu-metal music, `Revolution Revolucion' is 13 tracks of ear-splitting head-banging good fun. Starting off on the right foot with `God Save Us' and ending on the softer note of `With You', Ill Nino perfectly concocted a fantastic studio effort here. Some of the better songs include the opener as well as brutal tracks like `If You Still Hate Me', `Liar' and `No Murder' as well as the rap influenced `I Am Loco' and the popular single `What Comes Around' (which was immortalized when a brilliant remix was released on the `Resident Evil' soundtrack). With heavy Latin influence and pure talent, not to mention a screaming voice that could wake the dead, this band will stand on this album alone. While their albums proceeding this one have left me a bit cold, as in they just aren't what they could have been, Ill Nino still hasn't sacrificed their talent and originality. Sure to make any fan of nu-metal happy, this is an album worthy of plenty of repeat listenings!

2 out of 5 stars Half good, half...not so much.......2006-08-22

I won't go into a song by song review, simply because there isn't enough good material to do so, but tracks 1,3,5,8,10,12 and 13 are all worth a listen. The rest are throwaway. I've enjoyed both of nino's latest records from start to finish, but revolution simply isn't a solid listen.

5 out of 5 stars "The gods want something".......2006-05-30

I'm mainly into metal from the `80s and have very few albums from the `00s, but this CD cover caught my eye in a record store a few months back. It reminded me of the mummified corpses and skeletons on display during Mexico's Day of the Dead. I discovered that Ill Nino is a Latino metal band, so this made sense. I popped it into the listening station and was blown away. There is so much depth and so many styles to their music. At times it is angry death metal with bellowing vocals. At other times it is very melodic and pleasant, almost mainstream. Then they throw in some Spanish lyrics and Latin rhythms. The same tracks can urge the listener to hum and sing along and then cause the pulse to rise and the fists to clench. I'm not a fan of Death Metal or Latin music, but the combination with heavy rock melodies just seems to work. This CD finds its way in my player a lot!

"God Save Us": Has a Korn-like opening with a melodic, sing-along break in between, a beautiful guitar piece, then explodes again.
"If You Still Hate": There is more of a Latino sound here and, during its death metal parts, is even angrier than the opening: "I wish you dead!!!!"
"Unreal": Awesome! Very catchy with great vocals. When the guitar kicks in with the second verse of the chorus, it's a killer ride! Not as much screaming on this one so it's more accessible.
"Nothing's Clear": More Latin sound here (Latin guitar) plus more Spanish lyrics at the bridge. Another of my favorites. More harsh than "Unreal" but has accessible, catchy parts.

"What Comes Around": I love the chorus to this one--"I have nothing to say, but I feel like my mouth is open." Rap-like verse with Latin part as well.
"Liar": Wow, all kinds of stuff going on here. Storming drums with a very catchy part at "You say things would be the same." Harsh, Korn-like at times with angry rap-like verses and even record-scratching.
"Rumba": Another stand-out. Dominated by the quote: "The gods want something."
"Predisposed": another favorite of mine. Not as catchy and memorable but still an accessible song that's not too noisy. I like the calm guitar interlude.

"I Am Loco": Angry, furious lyrics with record-scratching. Harsh yet still melodic. Lots of stuff going on here.
"No Murder": Explodes with perhaps the angriest, heaviest stuff on the album. In contrast, the chorus is very catchy and one of my favorite parts on the CD. It even harmonizes. Both beautiful and ugly to the point of blood-curdling.
"Rip Out Your Eyes": Not as memorable save for the gut-wrenching bellowing of the title.
"Revolution/Revolucion": Now this one is very memorable. The chorus is awesome! My second favorite behind "Unreal." Then exploding with "Revolucion!!!" at the end.
"With You": Latin-flavor love song. All right. Nothing special. They should stick to their "Deathmex" stuff.

4 out of 5 stars You gotta love it.......2005-09-14

Something about this band i mean they are damn good. Great vocals, lyrics and sound and everything else that you need to figure out yourself by buying this album. This is an up and rising band that doesn't get enough credit. This album is really impressive and an easy addition to my hardcore collection.

There are no corridos revolucionarios nortenos like the ones in this album and no singer norteno like Antonio Aguilar to sing them. An era ended when he died 19 June 2007.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful songs by Mexico's finest .......2005-10-17

The genre of Mexican music, corridos from the revolutionary period is best done by Mexico's favorite singer, actor, and cowboy, Antonio Aguilar. This CD is excellent, the sound is revitalized, crisp and clear!

The corrido is also known as folk music and it is the means of telling the story of this historic and cultural war experience from the 1800s, and probably the most famous was Mexico's hero, Francisco (Pancho) Villa. You will hear the stories of other battles, famous soldiers, leaders, political movements and assassinations about Zapata, General Benjamin Argumendo, and more.

One important aspect about corridos is to understand what the story is about. If you don't understand the language, you are missing out on a lot. Search for corridos of the revolution to find the translation of some of the songs and a deeper understanding of the time period.......MzRizz

    This double-disc treat covers Morricone's work from 1965 to 1995 and contains mostly never-before-released material from 40 different motion pictures, many of which demonstrate his quirkier side. Many are from less-known films like To Forget Palermo and What Am I Doing in the Middle of the Revolution? But there are also more famous tracks like the main titles to Cinema Paradiso and My Name Is Nobody as well as the haunting "Chi Mai" from Maddalena. Though best known for his much-imitated and oppressively cute spaghetti-Western themes, Morricone here demonstrates his much more intriguing romantic and melancholic sides. His title song to Farewell to Moscow is among his saddest and menacing works and, like several other selections, can be the preferred antidote to Prozac. --Joseph Lanza

      2 out of 5 stars Remembering Past Enchantments And Past Ills.......2004-06-07

      Few composers outside of the classical canon have expressed the ineffable as beautifully as Ennio Morricone. The Italian Morricone, who has written scores of wildly varying quality for over 400 films, came to international prominence with and is still best - known in America for his "Spaghetti Western" scores of several classic Sergio Leone films of the Sixties, such as A Fistful of Dollars (1964), The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (1966), and Once Upon A Time In The West (1969).

      With the Leone scores, Morricone created musical pieces structured like complex mathematical equations, many of which were suffused with a driving, hypnotic, and archetypal power. In fact, the soundtrack for The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly was so dramatically dynamic that it thoroughly outstripped the finished film in terms of imaginative potential. Only with Once Upon A Time In The West did Leone create a film well crafted and realized enough to match Morricone's entrancing, playful, and occasionally perditious score. Similarly, Dario Argento's The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1969) almost completely failed to utilize Morricone's contribution, the best portions of which were heard only dimly and sporadically in the finished film. Leone's late masterpiece, Once Upon A Time In America (1984), two - thirds a perfect film, also failed to fully rise to the occasion of Morricone's simultaneously poignant, wistful, and wonderfully exuberant score.

      Today, Morricone's work is available on literally hundreds of soundtracks and soundtrack compilations dedicated to the composer, very few of which are entirely satisfying. An Ennio Morricone Anthology (1995), which contains 45 tracks from 39 films produced in Italy from 1965 onward, perpetuates this frustrating tradition.

      Of the 45 tracks, about a third represent Morricone realizing or approaching the height of his talent, another third are fairly interesting but ultimately repetitious and self-cannibalizing, and the final third, which may have worked reasonably well within the context of the films they were written for, never rise above the status of shrill, discordant, and bellowing kitsch (several attempt a Henry Mancini - like levity and fall flat). In fact, there is a great deal of healthy, raw, and leveling vulgarity even in some of Morricone's most famous compositions, such as "Le Vent, Le Cri" from 1981's The Professional and "Chi Mai" from 1971's Maddalena, both of which are included.

      Those seeking haunting compositions on the scale of "L'Estasi Dell 'Oro" or "Il Triello" from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly or "Poverty" from Once Upon A Time In America will be disappointed to find very few pieces approaching their caliber here, especially if already familiar with such well - known pieces such as "Moscow Farewell" from the 1987 film of the same name or the otherworldly "Il Gatto A Nove Code" from The Cat O' Nine Tails (1971).

      As compositions of vastly different quality are interspersed amongst one another in dizzying array, many may find An Ennio Morricone Anthology virtually impossible to listen to from beginning to end without skipping tracks repeatedly. As a genius whose greatest compositions address both the immanent and the transcendent, both perdition and salvation, both the archaic and the modern, Morricone and his admirers deserve a more carefully selected and thoughtfully produced anthology than this haphazard collection offers.

      5 out of 5 stars Delightful scores from Ennio Morricone.......1998-12-19

      Few composers in film music today are as greatly admired as Ennio Morricone whose scores for a wide range of screen fares and many Oscar nominations and wins have attracted the attention of fans all over the world. This compilation is one of the best and contains very fine original musics and rare tracks of this Italian composer.

          4 out of 5 stars La Polla knows what they doing!.......2006-08-11

          I just start listen to this people recently,and think that they are a pretty descent band.Believe this is a pretty good album that will rock you up,better if you know the language.Probably if your not from Spain,don't know castillian language,and the spaniard's recent history,specially during and after World War II,will not understand a lot of the critics that the band are doing to the goverment,the police,the church,just like me that I'm from Puerto Rico,and I have to look in the internet to understand better what they talking about.Good music,good lirics,muy chevere band!
