Expecting Marco Antonio Solis to improve on his megahit "Trozos de mi alma" would be somewhat akin to waiting for Prince to top "Purple Rain." Probably won't happen. So he does next best--gives his listeners more of what they loved in "Trozos . ." Solis' gentle delivery seems lightyears away from his Los Bukis days, and the public, at least here in Mexico, is absorbing it with gusto. "Boca de Angel" and "Mujeres Solitas" are every bit as compelling as the two REALLY big hits on "Trozos . ."--"Si no te hubieras ido" and "Sigue sin mi." The album seems to tell a story, and the lyrics are written on an attractive insert, good news for those of us who are more used to the clarity of Juan Gabriel's Spanish.

Solis remains as formidable a lyricist as ever, but remember when he was more than that? Before, he could be counted on to inject some musical drama, some bombast, some spice. That's what made songs like "Si Me Recuerdas," "Acepto Mi Derrota," and "Morenita" classics. Now all we get are musically indistinguishable ballads with intrusive, ever-present strings. My suggestion: Solis should try a Bernie Taupin/Elton John-type project where he does the lyrics and leaves the melody in the hands of someone with a totally different perspective, like Julieta Venegas. It would certainly produce something more interesting than the geriatric sounding easy-listening he's putting out now.

Eventhough it is different from the Bukis in that he had different rhythms to experiment with, this new cd is still excellent. The lyrics and melodies that made Los Bukis famous are still there. Every song is an excellent song. He could pick any song to be radio-played and it would be a hit. It starts and ends with the best songs in the cd( Cuando te acuerdes de mi and Donde esta mi primavera). My favorite is Boca de Angel. 5 stars cd. I still would like another Buki album or a reunion of some sort.

TENGO VARIOS CD'S DE EL Y NINGUNO ME HA DECEPSIONADO. TODOS TIENEN ALGO DIFERENTE Y BUENO QUE SE PUEDE APRECIAR SOLO ESCUCHANDO LAS CANCIONES DETENIDAMENTE. ME GUSTA LE PROFUNDIDAD DEL MENSAJE QUE ENVIA EN SUS CANCIONES. LO RECOMIENDO AMPLIAMENTE.

Marco Antonio Solis is my favoire singer of all time.
I don't speak Spanish, but I have 6 of his cd's
This new cd is wonderful, I love it
