"First the tracks: 1. Album Version 3:58 2. Kung Pow Radio Mix 3:57 3. Castle Hill Club Mix 8:08 4. Matt & Vito's Live Your Life Radio Edit 1 4:11 This track is a great song written for Jennifer by the diva herself, Gloria Estefan. It harkens back to Gloria's early days with Miami Sound Machine. It's a very Latin-driven, funky, and definitely FUN song. "Let's get loud. Let's get loud. Turn the music up to hear that sound. Let's get loud." The original, album version is great. In fact, some of the clubs here got tired of waiting for the remixes and played this version. It was still upbeat enough to cause the crowd to go wild. The second track is marred by a really annoying "oom pah pah" synth line that finally gets lost in the layers during the second half of the song. By this time the song kicks into gear...POOF!, it's over. I hoped the third track, which is an extended version of the second would pick up the tempo some....not really. It's a good mix, but it it never really kicks into high gear. It uses more of the piano line to keep the rhythm going which is really cool. The fourth track is INCREDIBLE!!! It takes the song into a layered, synth trip that is like a combination of a Hex Hector mix and a Thunderpuss mix. It has a trance feel as well as a peak hour anthem feel to it. There is a voice altered "Let's Get Loud" that runs through it, while Jennifer jams through it. According to DMA magazine, there is an extended mix of this at the clubs that runs 11:19. If anybody finds a copy of it, LET ME KNOW! The radio edit of it is worth buying this single. Pure hard-core dance. I can't complement it enough. Why the record company is not releasing this domestically is beyond me. It definitely is the strongest of her songs from her CD."
Not As Spicy As One Would Hope

""Let's Get Loud" is one of the stand-out tracks on Jennifer Lopez's debut album "On The 6," and remixes of the song only made my curiosity raise, as I was sure going to hear some great dance mixes to follow in the footsteps of Pablo Flores' "If You Had My Love" mixes.Wow...I was incredibly wrong. First, the mixes aren't that long. I don't understand why some people are so down on loooong remixes? They are fab! The "Waiting For Tonight" mixes were some of the best mixes that I've heard, it's about wanting to dance to the MUSIC, God forbid Jen may not be singing for a few minutes and one may enjoy the music.Anyways, the Kung Pow radio mix definitely took awhile to get used to. It's kind of laid back, and it's very motonous is some parts, but overall it's not that bad.The Castle Hill Club Mix is the full length version of the Kung Pow mix. More of the same, not to fulfilling after having those great "Waiting For Tonight" mixes, know what I mean?The Matt & Vito Radio Mix is just great! It's not at all what I was expecting, but instead of being let down by drivel, I got a fierce club mix! And may I point out that the full version of this mix is a 'tacky' 11-mintues, just the way most of us house and club music fans like it. So all-in-all, I'd say buy this if only for the Matt & Vito mix, it's really cool, and if you can find the 11-minute version, you are one lucky person *L*"
Let's Get LOUD!!!
