Análisis (en inglés) :
Arriving a long four years after {^Revolución de Amor} (2002), which had been the band's most accomplished album to date, and a Grammy winner to boot, {^Amar Es Combatir} confirmed {$Maná}'s continuing designation as the world's standard-bearing Spanish-language mainstream {\rock} band. {^Amar Es Combatir}'s lead single, {&"Labios Compartidos,"} was an overnight chart-topper, and the album itself debuted at number four on {~Billboard}'s overall album chart, the highest debut ever for a Spanish-language release by a band or group. And make no mistake, such success was warranted, as {^Amar Es Combatir} is not so much a stride forward creatively as it is a consolidation of everything that had earned {$Maná} such a devoted international fan base in the first place. For better, and perhaps for worse, there are no surprises on {^Amar Es Combatir}: the band delivers yet another slick set of soaring rockers (of which {&"Arráncane el Corazón"} and {&"Tú Me Salvaste"} are the highlights) interspersed with laid-back pleas of passion ({&"Ojala Pudiera Borrarte,"} {&"Bendita Tu Luz"}) and, of course, the obligatory heart-clutching power {\ballad} or two à la {&"Vivir sin Aire,"} the band's timeless breakthrough hit from 1994 ({&"Labios Compartidos,"} {&"Tengo Muchas Alas"}). The band's critics, who are legion, offered the same age-old complaints upon the album's release: the band repackages the same product each go round, the songs are awfully sappy for such a gruff-looking bunch of guys, and yes, the music isn't authentic -- that is, it's not {\Latin} enough. Regardless of whether you adore or hate {$Maná}, there's no denying the appeal of {^Amar Es Combatir}. This is a meticulous, impassioned, and all-around well-crafted album of what fans had come to expect from {$Maná}, and if it lacks some of the courage of {^Revolución de Amor}, {^Amar Es Combatir} is nonetheless a standout {\rock en español} effort circa 2006 and another laudable effort by the ever-reliable band. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All Music Guide
