Music reviews of Cronicas De Un Laberinto
Music Review: Neither great nor awful
Rating: 3 Stars
I have only a fleeting familiarity with Caifanes, who I'd checked out simply because A: I enjoy Rock en Espan~ol, and B: They'd been produced by Adrian Belew. When I saw that he was behind the boards again with Jagares (and I'm not going to jump into the Caifanes vs. Jaguares fray; it's apples to oranges), I thought I'd give it a try.
One caveat I'd make is that some parts of it sound as much like Adrian Belew solo work as they do like Jaguares; sometimes it's the guitar work (which is absolutely sick in places--and I mean that in the best way possible), sometimes the percussion, and sometimes a bit of both. For example, I've played "Bruja Canibal" for a few Belew fans, and they wondered what some guy was doing singing in Spanish on a Belew record.
The standout track, for me, was "Mejor Sera", which wouldn't have sounded out of place on Perfect Circle's "Mer de Noms." It's powerful all around. The disc as a whole is nicely varied; not to a point where it's a distraction, but enough so that the album--or at least its better tracks--don't wear thin on repeated listenings.
Then there's the rest of the album. Some of what's here is a bit slick and poppy ("Tu Me Liberas" comes to mind). And there are a couple of tracks here that, to my ears at least, are throwaways (like the ones that close the album). That, to me, is what makes this a merely "good" album as opposed to a great one. This isn't a waste of money, but you'll have to sit through a few clunkers to get to the good stuff.
Description of Cronicas De Un Laberinto
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Mexican rockers Jaguares favor jangly rock rhythms and arena bombast on Cronicas de un Laberinto, and that's not necessarily a great thing. Much of the album is filled with noisy, outdated arrangements that seem swiped from 1980s English-language hair bands--often a pitfall of the rock en espanol genre. Producer Adrian Belew only amplifies the effect, and any social or political messages are diluted. As a result, several of the disc's 14 tracks run together, making for an often monotonous listen. Vocalist Saul Hernandez does what he can, but there's no real fire or passion behind his delivery. Only a few tracks kick into high gear, including first single "Hay Amores Que Matan," which could just as easily have been recorded by Mana. The album's second half is generally more effective, but it's ultimately not enough to save the album from some serious dust-gathering on your CD shelf. --Joey Guerra
