"This are many songs that are very fun and good for dancing!"
"Beat reggaeton álbum of all time."
"The cd has a few good tracks."
Producer Gustavo Santaolalla, who helmed the even more diverse Amores Perros soundtrack, keeps Juanes's exceptional work tight and focused, resulting in one of the year's most refreshing examples of a real Latin explosion.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon""Fijate Bien" (Watch Carefully) is a cautionary, sensitively written and well-performed album that really gives us a sense of Juanes' profound ability to write songs that really speak to the heart--not just about love, either."
"Very best package and article in optimus status."
"An early work, not as well orchestrated as Juanes unplugged.. but still very good.Juanes is a poet and a singer."
"He reminds me some of the young Cuban Silvio Rodriguez of the Nueva Trova."
"This album is a bit more serious than his other two, but I still love it."
"Even though the superbly crafted offering by this Colombian artist features the magic touch of Rock en Español producer meister Gustavo Santaolalla (Café Tacuba, Molotov) , Juanes in no way takes the back seat to industry royalty. The wide musical latitude of the album is further demonstrated by the radio-friendly title track and first single as well as by the riveting second single "Podemos hacernos daño" which seamlessly blends Colombian accordion-driven vallenato music with Jimmy Hendrix guitar riffs into a danceable hit song. The rest of the album contains the Santanaesque "Para ser Eterno", the honest (yet painful) beauty of the string-arranged "Vulnerable" and the musical playfulness on socially- revealing tunes like "Soñador"."
"I had the privilege of seeing Juanes perform "Fijate bien", "Para Ser Eterno", and "Podemos Hacernos Daño." "Fijate bien" is my favorite because of its superb rhythm, sound, and atmosphere."
"Luego de la desaparición de su grupo Ekhymosis,Juan Esteban Aristizabal regresa a la escena musical con su primer trabajo solista "Fíjate Bien",una excelente mezcla de ritmos y estilos,con letras profundas sobre la realidad que se vive en latinoamérica,con historias cotidianas,letras intensas,hablando del amor,de la guerra,de la paz,de la vida y la muerte,todo condensado en 12 canciones,tan distintas y tan parecidas,tan individuales y tan inseparables al mismo tiempo.Este disco define a Juanes como uno de los grandes exponentes del futuro del rock latino,lleno de talento y sentimiento,que lleva demostrando desde sus inicios en Ekhymosis,donde nació su estilo,que ahora nos presenta renovado y aumentado,en este disco que es imposible escucharlo sólo una vez."

Cooder and Galbán (a key compatriot in the American guitarist's Buena Vista Social Club project) invent a back-to-the-future sound--twin guitars fronting a Cuban rhythm section of two drum kits, congas, and bass--whose dreamy swing quotient is matched only by its sense of mirthful abandon.

"Love this music."
"Two guys just sitting back, relaxing and trading riffs on old songs."
"If you were to be transported back to 1950s Cuba, you might find music like this coming from the hottest night clubs."
"Great music to hear when hanging with family and friends."
"Love this music...takes me to South Beach watching the lovely Cuban dancers!"
"Great Cuban flavored music aied by Coodr's guitar skills."

"Seeing it for the first time as an adult it seems a bit dated but not as much as you'd expect from a movie from 1945."
"Did not play in either of my blu ray players."
"It would be nice of the seller to give a purchaser with a United States shipping address the heads up that this disc will not play in an american DVD player."

But corpulent Latino rapper Big Punisher died of a massive coronary; at the time of his February 2000 death, he weighed over 600 pounds. But while Capital Punishment is perfectly adequate gangsta fare, Big Pun doesn't deserve the deification that dead rappers so frequently receive; here, he deviates little from the egomaniacal posturing that the Notorious B.I.G.

Some of the best tunes here include the beautiful "Lastima Que Seas Ajena" and the powerfully mournful "Que De Raro Tiene"."
"Vicente has it all together on this CD singing many of his hit songs."
"Es Chente faltaron estrellas."
"This musical collection of Vicente Fernandez music ranges from 1967 to 2001 and includes many wonderful songs."
"This cd is actually better than his Vol."
"The original recordings on other albums sound great but on this CD they sound OVER equalized and distorted."

Alberto Dominguez wrote 'Di Que No Es Verdad' but his most popular songs of all time are 'Frenesi' and 'Perfidia' ( which are both on another "Los Panchos" CD "Canciones de Amor" )."
"But Los Lobos are wonderful too and I noticed on this one I got to hear just them, featured less than she but still getting to hear the trio's beautiful harmonies."

"HIs approach therefore is more subtle and direct, surpassing even classic previous interpretations for example in songs like "For The Good Times" which hits a peak."
"Have been listening to Ray Price for many years, never get tired of him."
"I can say the same thing about this CD that I said about the other one of his."
"He wanted very specific songs, which this had, but apparently the whole CD is a little sad and mellow."

"Lila beautifully renders homage to the sacred process of employing the Comal to make the food which nourishes us, and to the amazing women whose hands work over the sacred comal in Palomo Del Comalito. And what more is there to say about all the other beautiful, artistic, heavenly songs she sings in this fantastic album, they are all simply beautiful."
