Maná Album: “Eclipse”

Description :

This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. <p>Though virtually unknown in much of English-speaking America, Mana is one of the most popular Rock en Espanol groups in the world, regularly selling millions of albums and filling concert stadiums to capacity. ECLIPSE is the band's long-overdue greatest hits album, which collects over a decade's worth of Mana's best songs and adds one newly recorded track to the group's legacy. <p>Often called "the Latin Police," because of the group's use of reggae rhythms, sparse production, and singer Fher's uncanny vocal resemblance to Sting, Mana also incorporates elements of INXS, Joe Jackson, and other new wave pioneers into its distinctly 1980s-influenced international stew. Though a quick listen to this disc reveals that the Mexican band's sound has evolved little over the years, this consistency (along with the group's refusal to sing in English and dedication to social causes) is exactly what inspires a rabid loyalty among Mana fans. In addition, the group has a way with catchy melodies and sing-along choruses that rivals any of its influences, and virtually guarantees that this collection will appeal to the long-time Latin rock faithful and curious neophytes alike.

Even though I would have rather Maná to come back with another studio album, they came up with three albums including their greatest hits. "Sol" includes the band's "dancing" hits, "Luna" includes the band's more romantic hits, and "Eclipse" includes a combination of both types. This CD includes 13 of the band's past hits and 1 new single "Te Llevare Al Cielo". It also includes the video for "Eres Mi Religion", which was the second single of their album "Revolucion De Amor". One thing that I liked about the booklet in this album is that it gives a backround on some of the songs. This album would have been better if they would have added at least one more song.

All in all, this is a very good albums for Maná fans or people who don't have their past albums. I recommend this album.

I am wrighting this review for Te Llevare Al Cielo ( I'll Take You To Heaven }. That Song is very nice. I have heard it on the raido and I have heard it and seen the video on my cable box. You have to pay but thats fine. Its cool that I get to watch videos like Te Levare Al Cielo. I have been A Mana fan since Christmas of 2002 not since the begining. And I do not speak alot of spanish but I do understand it. This song is one of their best songs that they have done. I want to get one of these greatest hits just for this song because its a new song that that have done and I want to get all the other cds That they have. I have Revolucion De Amor and Suenos Liqudos. I will have repeat songs but I think its more then worth it to get one of these greatest hits for Te Llevare Al Cielo even if I will have the same songs twice. I am going to get one that have the song as the first one. Thanks. Peace.
