Review - :
For their third album, {^Love & Hate}, {$Aventura} truly mix up styles, from Dominican {\bachata-merengue} to {\R&B}, {\pop}, and {\hip-hop}. While they want to appeal to the {\boy band} crowd (perhaps a little late for that, though), they certainly don't succumb to cookie-cutter syndrome on this disc. The arrangements are stripped-down and often unusual, whether on the tortured {&"Hermanita"} (about domestic violence) or the self-aggrandizing {&"Deja Vu."} There's a definite sophistication to the compositions and production, which is all in the band's hands. And to show they really haven't lost their roots, there are two true {\merengues}, {&"Pueblo por Pueblo"} and {&"Me Voy,"} where they're backed by {$el Prodigio}. There's plenty of interplay between the voices throughout, and even some reasonably convincing rapping on the hidden track, {&"Don't Waste My Time."} This time out, it seems, they've built on the success of the breakthrough single from their previous album, in an attempt to win a wider audience, without selling out. It's a balancing act, but one that, for the most part, they carry off. Although it gets a little schmaltzy in places (as on {&"Papa Dijo"}) there's still plenty of grit left. And full marks for forging their own path, too. [This edition contains bonus tracks.] ~ Chris Nickson, All Music Guide
