When I heard this album, I was thrilled. That's according to "Laundry Service" the best album of Shakira and much better
than the two previous albums. Solely one must say that there are a total of only 9 songs on the album, because
there are Spanish versions of "She Wolf", "Did It Again" and "Why Wait". This I find it even better
as the English versions, because they fit better to Shakira.
Highlights of the album are: "Why wait" (a cracker), "Men in This Town" (a single release worth it!) Spy ft.
Wyclef Jean (quite different, but cool!) And "Long Time."
Only "Gypsy" and "Did It Again" I personally find not so convincing, which does not mean that the songs are done badly. However, I would think, "Did It Again" decouple as a single. Since there are better songs.
Basically I do not understand the average reviews since the album one of the best in 2009, my
Opinion. But tastes obviously differ. Shakira goes safely in a new direction. This I find
Good.
My criticisms do not fall so much weight. Since the overall impression of the album is great, I forgive 5 Stars.
Also, to enhance the music, because that has earned it! :-)
