Análisis (en inglés) - :
One of three best-of {$Maná} compilations in the Esencials series released in 2003, {^Sol} focuses on the band's rockers, whereas {^Luna} focuses on their {\ballads} and {^Eclipse} on a distillation of both. {$Maná} is admittedly known best for their {\ballads}, which tended to score them their biggest hits historically, but the guys are convincing rockers as well, as showcased here on {^Sol}. Highlights include {&"Oye Mi Amor,"} which is probably the best of {$Maná}'s earlier rockers; the song was released in 1994 on {^Donde Jugaran los Niños?} and bares some of the band's initial resemblance to {$the Police} as well as the influence of {$Soda Stereo}. By and large, {$Maná} rocked better with each album they released, however, and indeed, their most recent work here is their most appealing. {&"Sábanas Frías"} and {&"Ángel de Amor,"} both released in 2002 on {^Revolución de Amor}, are very impressive, the former notably featuring {\salsa} legend {$Rubén Blades}, while the newly recorded song {&"Te Llevare al Cielo"} is a soaring album opener that is clearly among the band's best songs to date, rockers or otherwise. As enjoyable as {^Sol} may be from beginning to end, especially relative to {^Luna}, keep in mind that since {^Eclipse} compiles the best of the band's {\ballads} as well as rockers -- distilling the highlights of both {^Luna} and {^Sol} to a single disc -- it's the recommended route to take for anyone considering a {$Maná} compilation. {^Eclipse} includes all the key songs found here, like the aforementioned {&"Oye Mi Amor"} and {&"Sábanas Frías,"} and it intersperses them with {\ballads} like {&"Rayando el Sol"} and {&"Vivir sin Aire,"} not only showcasing a full picture of {$Maná}'s musical ability but also offering a more compelling listening experience overall. Note that all three Esencials releases include {&"Te Llevare al Cielo."} ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
