Summary: Completely biased...
Comment: I have to say, I've been a fan of Juanes' since I first heard "Nada" on MTV en español years ago. It's been absolutely amazing watching him grow as an artist, and as a fan, I feel privileged to have been a part of that. When I first heard this album, I wasn't sure about it. I felt it lacked the charm of Mi Sangre, the passion of Un DÃa Normal, and the fire of Fijate Bien. But the more I listened to it, and after seeing him perform his songs live, I fell deeply in love and the veil was lifted from my eyes. Me Enamora, which I had instantly liked, fell to the wayside. It's easily the weakest song on the album. If you want fun, there's Gotas de Agua Dulce. If you've had your heart broken and need to scream, there's Dificil. If you want to dance while washing the dishes, there's Tres. La Vida es Un ratico is reminiscent of Un Dia Normal in message and tone, but it's far more heart rending. Maybe it's the knowledge of the pain in Juanes' personal life that gives this CD more heart and soul, but while I respect and love his earlier CD's, I feel like this album was born of his sweat, blood, and tears. It's going to be hard to top.

Summary: Rhythmic colombian rock that touches your soul. Juanes best ever, and that is saying a lot.
Comment: Juanes is something of a phenomenon. Who would have thought that the little metalhead boy from colombia would have the vision to break up his competent if not spectaular Metallica like band and then put out four consecutive 5 star Colombian rock albums? Who knew that he could write from a deep well of sensitivity--not only anger, pain, joy, encouragement, and love, but optimism too? Who knew that his guitar skill were so insinuating that they would worm their way into your unconscious so that each delicious guitar line seems to be the soundtrack to your life? Anyone that heard "Fijate Bien" probably thought it was a great album by a little boy who may or may not have any longevity. Then he blew away Fijate with the gigantic Un Dia Normal. Mi Sangre proved that he had completely grown up, and now he takes us so far beyond with Un Ratico.
The first song, No Creo en Jamas, is simply one of the best songs I have heard, English or Spanish in years. I am humming or singing it all the time. The heart of the album is his incredible title track, which seems so amazing that he has perspective that he does. I don't know how best to describe how music that is so encouraging, so beautiful, so touching is also musically so darn good! No cheese here! Pure invention, fantastic rockers, all with Colombian traditional backbone making them stronger.
Juanes is incredible. He deserves all 17 Latin Grammy's that he has won, and I am certain that he has a ton more left to win. But even if he never put out a single song again, his musical legacy is secure with this spectatular album. If you are a Juanes fan, then you probably already own this album. High five. If you are a fan of Rock en Espanol but have somehow had your head buried below ground for the last several years, look for further than Juanes. Buy everything he has without fear. If you are an English only speaker who is even the tiniest bit open to music in Spanish and you are a fan of rhythmic, well sung, well played, well constructed Spanish Rock, then put down that Mana album and buy this!

La Vida...Es un Ratico (Life is a moment) is the follow up to Juanes' globally multi-platinum release Mi Sangre. In La Vida...Es un Ratico, Juanes once again teams up with co-producer Gustavo Santaolalla, Double-Oscar/Grammy winner. In his first single "Me Enamora," Juanes shows us his intimate personal thoughts on love and relationships. In songs like "Minas Piedras" and Bandera de Manos" he tackles themes of both the hope for peace and social change. With this release, Juanes works to continue to perfect his distinctive fusion of rock with traditional Colombian rhythms and other international styles. Despues del exito de "Mi Sangre", Juanes nos presenta "Me Enamora" el primer sencillo de su tan esperado nuevo lanzamiento "La Vida...Es un Ratico. "La Vida...Es un Ratico" fue producido nuevamente por Juanes y Gustavo Santaolalla, ganador de dos premios Oscar y multiples Grammy's. Juanes escribió letra y musica de todos los temas durante los dos ultimos años, entre la etapa final de la gira de "Mi Sangre" y un periodo sabatico en el que se concentro en la composición de "La Vida...Es un Ratico". En "La Vida...Es un Ratico" hay canciones que hablan de temas sociales como "Minas Piedras" y "Bandera de Manos" y otras como el primer sencillo "Me Enamora" relacionadas a temas personales y del amor. En este lanzamiento Juanes consolida sin duda alguna su idea musical de fusionar rock con ritmos Colombianos, y ritmos internacionales. Juanes Photos More from Juanes
