Yawwn,where's los lobos when ya need em
I dont understand why anyone would say this is such a "masterpiece" of an album, I would say it is not much of an album at all, theres really only one great song on this collection of sleepy drowsy songs, and some are hardly songs at all just a jumble of sound effects, If i wanted to hear sound effects id buy an ocean sounds CD or something, I think David Hidalgo and his buddies were hanging out enjoying a little too much of the "Green" when they recorded this, there just isnt any bite on this album , its like listening to some kind of Depressing lo fi jazz album, sans the music, Cesar Rosas where are you? David Hidalgo needs you? hes depressed without you and the rest of the Lobos Gang, Dont buy this album unless you need something to put you to sleep.
Don`t Play This
A side project to Los Lobos, this uninteresting effort is somewhat experimental but equally dull, repetitive and forgettable. There are some latin vibes and atmospheres here, yet most aren`t too gripping or innovative and only make for a bland, unengaging and tepid listen. This record brings nothing new, it just seems a rehash of mexican movie scores. A couple of moments would sound nice in some "Desperado" or "From Dusk Till Dawn" scenes, but as a whole this offering isn`t convincing or appealing.
A failed experience and a good one to avoid.
LOBOS SIDE PROJECT SCORES BIG
This side project by the guys from LOS LOBOS is a masterpiece.
Close in style to such wonders as the 'big wolves' KIKO and
COLOSSAL HEAD, it borders on magical in it's brilliance. If you
like either of those offerings you will probably enjoy this
effort. Experimental and somewhat low key, their roots shine
through nonetheless. Head music, that will, at the same time, get
your feet moving. Nearly undescribable (at least to me) in it's
originality, LATIN PLAYBOYS is a must for any LOS LOBOS fan.
Thanks, and may your kindness be repaid threefold.
