Editorial Reviews :
After 25 years together as a band, you'd expect Los Lobos to be spent creatively. Not so, though this East L.A. institution has settled into a perhaps too-comfortable groove with its past couple of albums. No longer the studio experimentalists of Kiko (still the group's best album), nor the Mexican roots-music purists of La Pistola y El Corazon, the band now offers a reliable mix of styles on each album--a smooth concoction that is equal parts roots-rock, blues, R&B, and Latin dance music. Although paired with new producer John Leckie (Radiohead, XTC), the band doesn't venture into much new sonic territory with Good Morning Aztlán. The most distinctive tracks are the three Latin-spiked numbers--in particular 'Malaqúe,' which merges vera cruzano harp with what sounds like Brazilian carnival rhythms--and a pair of gorgeous, '70s-inflected soul songs, 'Hearts of Stone' and 'The Word.' Overall, Good Morning Aztlán is a good album but not a great one, at least by the band's lofty standards.
Buyer Reviews :
They sound so confident on this record. The songs just slam. The recording quality is pristine and perfect. The music jumps at you and floats through the air. It's nice to hear them rock out heavy on a few tunes again, too. It's also nice to see the disc sitting in the Top-25 on Amazon. This is one of the 5 best bands of the last 15 years. Anyone who only knows them because of 'La Bamba' needs to run to the store immediately and pick up 'By The Light Of The Moon', 'How Will The Wolf Survive', and 'Kiko' for starters and realize what they have been missing. I can't wait to see these guys at Milwaukee's Summerfest in a few weeks.
