"To all those who think this is just a re-release of Shakira's "Pies Descalzos", you are false. Yes this is the entire album of "P.D." (no bonus songs) but it is "remastered". All the songs are the same but they have been remastered. Some songs have a slight differance in them than the original, like "Estoy Aqui" for example: in "Coleccion de Oro" Estoy Aqui has a percusion added to it like bongos and in the original it doesnt. Thats what makes this disc different than the original."
Am I missing something?

"Isn't this just Shakira's "Pies Descalzos" re-released under a different title??? Hmmm cunning indeed. Nevertheless, I totally loved that one and would therefore highly recommend this. Shakira's voice really is one in a million and all the tracks help show the true extent of her vocal capabilities. Totally captivating, I really love "Te Necesito" and the others such as "Pies Descalzos..." are best left untouched....forget the remixes (pretty dull unless you're a DJ perhaps) and stick to these originals which are all hugely listenable, original and completely inspired. If you've just bought "Laundry Service" and are expecting more of the same from this album; don't! This is sooo much better! (as is Donde Estan Los Ladrones)"
Fantastic Music

"I've decided that it's tragic to make this girl sing in English. Her unique voice so complements Spanish that it makes me wish i understood even a single word of what she's saying. Even on Laundry Service, her transitional album for the U.S. market, I find that the spanish songs and spanish versions of english releases are my favorite. I cant get enough of listening to her."
