Amaral Album: “Gato Negro/Dragón Rojo”

Fantastic album by a very popular band in Spain (from Zaragoza.) Great music. Diverse sounds within this 2-disc set. I have heard people compare them to another well-known Spanish band called Oreja de Van Gogh however I find OVG too poppy. I think Amaral has a much more interesting sound. Highly recommended.

I'm a huge fan of Amaral and I have all 5 of their albums. Like another reviewer said, it is very difficult to put together a double album that is consistent and successful. I honestly can't find a filler track on this album, every song is fantastic. On a scale of 1-10, there are maybe 2 songs that are 7s, the rest are all 8+. Best Rock en Espanol album I've heard in quite some time. Best tracks I feel are "La Barrera del Sonido", "Kamikaze", "Blues de la Generacion Perdida", and "Rock&Roll". If you get one Spanish-language album this year, get this one. Phenomenal.

I could not wait to hear the new album. The tease, 20 second audio for selected tracks were free but I had to hear it all man. Not a dissapointment by any means, good album. Not their best but there are a few priceless gems here. I personally do not think this should have been a double album. They could have trimed some songs and put the product out as a single album in what could have been in my opinion a stronger more enjoyable cd. If you like Amaral, you have to get it man.
