Reynaldo, you know this is no 8-out-of-10 record. It's utterly boring. More like a 4. This individual rating is so suspect that it calls the entire endeavor into question.

    I've never heard the entire LP but the one single is pretty good, no? The rest is super terdy? Based on the album cover, I always thought this would be kind of "meh" but I've never wanted to spend the $50+ to find out.

    It's not terrible for what it is, but it is monotonous

    It's also the 52nd best "Latin" LP of all time. FACT.

    That's a one-tracker, IMO.

    What exactly are the attributes you consider when coming up with a rating, Rey??

    Hot tracks divided by total tracks. If you think that LP is a one-tracker then you don't really like salsa music. I have no other words.

    I'd be willing to revise the rating down to 6/10 based on the tracks I like divided by total tracks formula.

    You are absolutely correct. That breed of salsa does nothing for me. Salsa dura como Fruko?? Yes please.
