Amaral Album: “Pajaros en la Cabeza”

This band is the standard by which I measure all other Spanish rock/pop acts. This CD is very good, up to par with "Estrella de Mar".

Este álbum de Amaral es muy bueno la verdad, pero desde que sus canciones se volvieron más populares creo que han dejado atrás un poco de sus raíces Españolas para irse a un público más internacional (lo cual por lo general empieza poco a poco a arruinar la buena música), todavía conservo la esperanza de que su música no se degrade al grado de llegar al pop más mediocre como el Mexicano.

OK I guess for those who like plain pop based on rock instrumentation (guitar, bass, drums). There are a few good hooks here and there but a major problem with this release is that the sound is generally flat and most of the songs sound pretty much the same. Thus the general replay value of the disc is low. Hopefully in the next album, Aguirre will show us how much in love he is with senorita rock'n'roll and hardens substantially the sound of the band. These guys have the chops to give much more than this.

I love her voice, but I definitly miss her singing with the "La Oreja De Van Gogh" I tend to find that almost every song she mention how much she is missing someone, so I do not see much variety in her music, is kind of always the same thing to me. I hope she brings something new.
