Revolución de Amor

Amazon.com
With 16 million total units in global sales (1999's MTV Unplugged has sold 3 million copies so far), four-time Grammy winners Maná are one of the biggest Latin rock bands around. Revolución de Amor, the four-piece band's first studio album in five years, continues Maná's ongoing dual interest in themes of love and social issues, and the band is masterful at packaging its potent messages in an accessible guitar-based sound. Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Maná create an organic mix of classic rock, modern rock, and traditional Latin music that will appeal to fans of Santana and Rubén Blades (both of whom make guest appearances here). But the band is also able to attract younger audiences thanks to punkier songs such as "Nada Que Perder," which could very easily break through on K-rock radio stations across the U.S. One of Maná's best albums to date, Revolución de Amor is proof positive that Latin rock can be accessible to a broad range of people who don't speak Spanish. --Tad Hendrickson

Maná is great!.......2007-05-17

This was the first Maná CD I have ever purchased. I really like it. They blend traditional latin music and great rock guitar work. I will buy more of their recordings.

Same tunes and lyrics as before.......2006-08-25

Not asking to recreate music however after Sueno Liquido nothing innovated has come out of the band.

4 of 13 songs are good

Mariposa
Sabana's
Angel De Amor
Mi Religion

Más de lo mismo.......2005-10-27

La banda latina más vendedora de discos regresa con un disco prescindible totalmente. Decepciona incluso, pues se esperaba algo diferente al muy bueno "Sueños líquidos", pero suena como a una mala continuación de este, e incluso, queda por debajo. Monótono, lleno de clichés propios del grupo, con pseudo himnos revolucionarios como "Justicia, tierra y libertad" o el típico y repetitivo hit al más puro estilo Maná, como lo es "Ángel de amor". Lo único rescatable del disco son las bellas "Mariposa traicionera" y "Eres mi religión", convirtiéndose esta incluso en uno de los clásicos de toda la discografía del grupo, pues es la única canción en donde la letra tiene rasgos de una muy buena lírica, conjugado con una gran música. Fher suena cansado y Alex, Sergio y Juan, aunque muy talentosos, no explotan su capacidad si continuan haciendo reiteraciones inútiles. Maná debe regenerarse o estará condenada a pasar desapercibido en el panorama de las bandas propositivas. Aunque quizá, el pop que hacen actualmente les resulte mucho más redituable, como de hecho sucede, dejando de lado la música desde hace mucho tiempo, prefiriendo entonces la danza de los millones. Maná está para mucho más que eso.

An advance beyond their past.......2005-08-19

I realize that I'm operating at a disadvantage in reviewing this CD. I don't speak Spanish (although I took it in high school and college) and I haven't followed Maná throughout their career. I'm just an late-arriving Americano who appreciates good music whatever its country of origin.

Nevertheless, I was blown away by this CD's sound: its harmony, arrangement, and emotion. In fact, I was blown away enough to order the 3-CD set of their earlier CDs on Warner, based on Amazon reviewers' raves about their earlier work. I can appreciate where those reviewers were coming from, but I still like "Revolucion de Amor" the best.

For my money, the earlier Maná was a worthy band in the Police vein, but a bit minimalist. This CD, where they arguably went corporate (or whatever), fleshes out their potential and really delivers.

Hey, even with English-language bands, I usually place the lyrics in the background and concentrate on the overall sound. On that count, this CD delivers as much as, say, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers or the Sisters of Mercy or Procol Harum or Phil Spector's girl groups. Solid harmonies, good musicianship, great balance.

That may just be succumbing to the allures of pop production, but good pop is all too rare, ironically enough.

I hope that the band is working on another CD, three years on, and look forward to what they come up with.

mariposa traicionera.......2005-08-07

Just want to say that I don't know much Spanish, but I do tune into Spanish radio stations cos' I love the sound. I think it was around 12/03 that I kept hearing Mariposa Traicionera on the radio. The name of the song was not announced or maybe it was but I just missed it. The song had this hold on me and I just had to find out who the singer was. Searched the internet with just the keyword "mariposa" and after much work, I finally discovered this Mana band. Have bought a few of their albums since, and am still going through the letras with my Spanish Dictionary! Other songs of the band I like are for example, Te llore un rio, Oye mi amor, Como te deseo,Te llevare al cielo, Eres mi religion. Well, I could go on and on...
