"This CD is definetly better than the last CD "In The Room" from 2004. This CD is a perfect mix of merengue, reggaetón, salsa, and bachata. "La Monta Buena" sets a hip, smooth mood with reggaetón and then "Te Necesito" and "Una Noche De Amor" jumps off the album with some salsa bachata heat. "Mátame" is the only real ballad, which I find okay. "La Otra" is a wonderful bachata song and "Cojelo Suave" is a great reggaetón track. "Dale Lento" is an irresistble salsa track that one must dance to! "Me Tienes" I really could not put a genre on, but, I really don't like this song like the others. "Como Puedo" is a better ballad, with a bachata rhythm, compared to "Mátame". And, the merengue finally saves the heat of the album in the end with "Ooh Ay" and "Si Te Picas". "Pa Nosotros" is okay, I like the version on "In The Room" (CD) better and "Pa La Olvidoso" is an awesome track para la máquinta! Es indispensable que condujas con esta canción en la coche! Otherwise, it is really hard to stop from dancing to this album and "Me Tienes" serves as a good break track if needed anyway. I could see many of these tracks being popular at a dance club. So, I suggest for anyone who likes merengue, bachata, salsa, and reggaetón. I especially suggest this CD (and "In The Room") for someone who is new to the Latin world of music. The blend of the music styles are very natural and this CD is definately like the "next step" from "In The Room". Buy this CD!"

Some good reggaeton

"Be careful: contrary to what Ben says in his review, none of these tracks are salsa. This is mostly a reggaeton CD, although many of the tracks are a fusion of reggaeton and merengue and can technically be danced as merengues. The CD also includes the bachata "Como Puedo" as well as the ballad "Matame." "La Otra," a mix of reggaeton and merengue that enjoyably incorporates bachata into the song, is a great track. I also enjoy "La Monta Buena." Ilegales is known for their fusion of merengue and reggaeton - if you enjoy this CD, their other CDs also have some enjoyable tracks on them. "Morena" and "Mira" are two of my favorite merengues; I love how they blend reggaeton into the music while still maintaining the merengue beat for social dancing."

Good

"I expected more of this CD. Some songs are good for dance but not all of disc. I understand that today some music is different that years ago. However, is good."
