"Este CD no es nuevo, pero a quien no lo tenga, que lo adquiera, solo se arrepentira del tiempo que tardo sin tenerlo, asi de bueno es, Arjona logro algo que hasta ese entonces no poseia, armonia y melodia,pues las letras siempre han sido penetrantes, imposible ignorarlas, mas aun olvidarlas, con sus letras, sus ideas y conceptos y la manera que tiene de exponerlos era y es acreedor de la admiracion aun de aquellos que se sintieran atacados,(chicos plasticos,)Conozco varios que les encanta. Libre" es una de mis favoritas, el estribillo suena muy melodioso y a la vez triste, sientes como si de verdad lo estuviera viviendo por el sentimiento que pone al cantarlo, la rebeldia que le caracteriza esta de manifiesto en"me estan j... la vida" y en todo el CD. "Realmente no estoy solo" es un poema hecho cancion, bellisima poesia, matizada con el fondo de piano,exquisito. a veces me pregunto, quien se fue de su vida?, quien le abandono y tras mucho tiempo de ausencia reecontro "Tarde"? Sera a la misma persona a quien le pregunta "Te acuerdas de mi?" O acaso fueron distintas las personas y diferentes abandonos. Es una joya musical, si algun dia pudiera hablarle le preguntaria si es suya la cancion "Ay amor" o es de Victor Manuel."
The best CD I ever heard

"This is an excellent CD!. When I heard this CD I couldn't believe that is was so good and interesting!!.
I not only liked Arjona's voice, but also, what the songs said.
If I had to say which is my favourite songs, it would be either HISTORIAS DE TAXI, or SI YO FUERA, or REALMENTE NO ESTOY TAN SOLO or LA NOCHE TE TRAE SORPRESAS (yes, I know, I should choose only one, but it is so difficult!!!).....but CASA DE LOCOS and HISTORIAS DEL PORTERO are excellent too.
I loved Arjona's songs but I only have one CD so far: "Historias". Anyway, I think that is the best one.
Please tell my what YOU think about this genious of music. I'd love to discuss that with the man, woman, girl or boy that is reading this now.
I can't believe that only recently (in December), I discovered Ricardo Arjona's songs. Before that, I had heard one or two of his songs, but not all the CD.
I recommended this CD...once you hear it, the only thing that you are going to complain about is that you didn't hear before!."
Amazing charming, intelligent , Arjona

"When I listen to this CD it makes me travel in time. When I listen To Historia de Taxi, I become the driver. When I listen te Ayudame Freud I'll become the patient. This cd Is a must have fo everybody that is alive and has a heart and mind. Cuando escuho este cd yo viajo en tiempo, Cuando escuho historia de Taxi me convierto en Taxista. Cuando escucho auyudame Freud me convierto en paciente. Este CD lo deben tener todas las pesonas que estan vivas y tienen corazon y mente."
Arjona's "Historias"

"Tremendous album! Even for native English speakers -- or maybe especially for them (that is, Gringos like me), this is a first rate album. Two of the cuts..."Historia de Taxi" and "Ayúdame Freud" are without equal as contemporary ballads. I've had the album at least 7 years and it is a constant, never boring favorite. Fun way to learn Spanish, too...Worth it at twice the price. I'd write more, but I'd rather go listen to 'Taxi' for the millioneth time."
One of the best pop en español albums of all time!

"Arjona is a master storyteller, and that is not all that you get on this disc. The arrangements on some of these tunes are top notch as well. "Historia del taxi" is one of my personal all time favorite tunes, which tells a pretty steamy story of lust, social indifferences and revenge. Then "La noche trae sorpresas" and "Me estan jodiendo la vida" are great rocknroll tunes. "historia del portero" is a country song which is written brilliantly as well, that one always makes me smile. Buy this, and be sure to read the lyrics, it's like reading short stories."
