Editorial Reviews:

As one of the most innovative and sought after groups in the Latin music industry, Calle 13 return with their third album Los De Atr s Vienen Conmigo. This album is a bit more colorful than the previous, although dark humor continues to be the tone. The album has a fusion of rhythms the band discovered during their visits to several countries. They fuse rhythms of 'cumbia villera' native to Argentina, and rhythms of 'volcanic' music, native to Russia. This album includes important collaborations with Ruben Blades and Caf‚ Tacvba to name a few. The concept behind Calle 13 has been uniform throughout all their albums, irreverent lyrics, experimental musical fusions, and rhythms that move the masses.

Summary: Mind over matter...
Comment: My son got this CD as a birthday present and he likes it a lot. I just finished listening to it and once again find myself enjoying the poetic prose these artists offer. I was a Calle 13 fan before, but now I'm infatuated, they have tapped into different styles of music, plus have collaborated with some top notch musicians in this album. Then there's the lyrics... Hands down Calle 13 is witty, sharp and by all means irreverent.

Summary: An excellent and thought-provoking disc!!
Comment: Calle 13's latest disc offers a wide varied mixture of musical styles that make it a thoroughly enjoyable listen. From the jazzy light salsa of "La Perla", to the dancehall style of "Tal Para Cual", Calle 13 shows great inventiveness and creativity in the arrangements. The growth in their songwriting since their earliest disc is astounding, given that that first disc wasn't released too long ago.

It's important to note that Calle 13's music is not necessarily for dancing (Residente even states this in the lyrics) but for the mind, and as such, the lyrics are what really shine through on this release. Whereas in past releases from Calle 13 the listener might still find stuff to like without understanding the lyrics, Residente's intelligent wordplay take center stage on songs like "Que Lloren", "Latin Gringo Funk", "John, El Esquizofrénico" and the title song. With topics ranging from Latino pride to mental illness, to just having fun to what life is like on the streets, Calle 13 approaches their lyrics like their music, with a lot of experimentation, intelligence and fun. Their infamous use of profanity is toned down a bit on this disc, but instead Residente writes clever rhymes that bring a smile to the face (who can listen to "Fiesta de Locos" and not laugh, in a good way?). I can't imagine I'd enjoy this CD as much if I didn't understand the lyrics.

Overall, these guys set the standard for what "reggaeton" or "urban-latin" music can be: creative, thought-provoking and intelligent. These guys are the real deal!!

Summary: ufff
Comment: Si al principio no me pareció tan bueno como el segundo, e incluso lo vi como una imitación de anteriores trabajos sobre todo en la letra, ya le he cogido un gusto que no lo suelto. Nada de aquellas malas palabras y cochinadas de "Residente o Visitante". Este es distinto.
"La perla" es el tema social que no puede faltar.
"Fiesta de locos" a más de uno le sacará mucho más que una sonrisa.
"John, El esquizofrénico" y "Electro movimiento" son los temas que se destacan en el disco, uno por la letra y el otro por la música. Muy diferentes a lo hecho anteriormente por el dúo.

Vuelven a los inicios en cuanto a usar muchos interludes, pero esto hace que el disco que aparentemente tiene 16 canciones, apenas cuenta con 12, siendo lo demás sólo un intro, un outro y dos interludios, lo que hace que me parezca un poco corto.
De todas formas, es más que rebueno, y ahora sí que se alejó del reggaetón!!! Apenas una canción tiene en una parte algo que "parece" un dembow, pero ya, y es que tenía que ser así, considerando que "Que lloren" es una tiraera abierta para los reggaetoneros.

¿Mis temas favoritos? Me gustan casi todos casi por igual, pero es posible que mis verdaderos favoritos sean los que mencioné, más "Ven y critícame"
