La Vida... Es un Ratico by Juanes
Rhythmic Colombian Rock That Touches Your Soul. Juanes Best Ever, And That Is
Saying A Lot.
The career of this singer/songwriter has made huge strides in the last five
years, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the Colombian singer’s style
has become unique. If this were his first CD, Juanes could be labeled as
genial, because no sound can even get close to what we hear here. But
this is his fourth album, and it sounds exactly as the previous ones.
Produced by Gustavo Santaolalla, La vida has a fantastic sound and an
impeccable production. Yet originality is not precisely its mark. --Ernesto
Sánchez (People en Español ) La carrera de este cantautor ha crecido a
pasos agigantados en los últimos cinco años y no es como para extrañar a
nadie, el colombiano tiene un estilo que lo hace único. Si este fuera el
primer disco de Juanes se podría catalogar como genial, porque no hay
nada que suene parecido, pero este es el cuarto álbum del colombiano y
suena exactamente igual que los anteriores. Hay que decir que el disco,
que es una producción de Gustavo Santaolalla, tiene un sonido fantástico

y una producción impecable. Pero la originalidad no es precisamente su
sello. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español )
Personal Review: La Vida... Es un Ratico by Juanes
Juanes is something of a phenomenon. Who would have thought that the
little metalhead boy from colombia would have the vision to break up his
competent if not spectaular Metallica like band and then put out four
consecutive 5 star Colombian rock albums? Who knew that he could write
from a deep well of sensitivity--not only anger, pain, joy, encouragement,
and love, but optimism too? Who knew that his guitar skill were so
insinuating that they would worm their way into your unconscious so that
each delicious guitar line seems to be the soundtrack to your life? Anyone
that heard "Fijate Bien" probably thought it was a great album by a little
boy who may or may not have any longevity. Then he blew away Fijate
with the gigantic Un Dia Normal. Mi Sangre proved that he had completely
grown up, and now he takes us so far beyond with Un Ratico.
The first song, No Creo en Jamas, is simply one of the best songs I have
heard, English or Spanish in years. I am humming or singing it all the time.
The heart of the album is his incredible title track, which seems so amazing
that he has perspective that he does. I don't know how best to describe
how music that is so encouraging, so beautiful, so touching is also
musically so darn good! No cheese here! Pure invention, fantastic rockers,
all with Colombian traditional backbone making them stronger.
Juanes is incredible. He deserves all 17 Latin Grammy's that he has won,
and I am certain that he has a ton more left to win. But even if he never
put out a single song again, his musical legacy is secure with this
spectatular album. If you are a Juanes fan, then you probably already own
this album. High five. If you are a fan of Rock en Espanol but have
somehow had your head buried below ground for the last several years,
look for further than Juanes. Buy everything he has without fear. If you
are an English only speaker who is even the tiniest bit open to music in
Spanish and you are a fan of rhythmic, well sung, well played, well
constructed Spanish Rock, then put down that Mana album and buy this!
