One of the best Spanish albums in a very long time! My obsession started with Ojos Asi and from then it just kept getting bigger and bigger. I've been a Shakira fan for many many years. I've never heard anyone that has been able to stop me dead in my tracks with just one sentence. And the best part is I barely speak a word of Spanish! True she isn't the Celine Dion of Latin music, but Shakira just has the thing about her that makes you want to listen even if you can't comprehend! Having said all of that, I can't praise this album enough! I was so excited when it came out, and after I listened to it, I was even more engulfed in Shakira's world. It is lyrically and vocally beautiful. You can play it all the way through and you'll still go back to the beginning and do it again! All the songs are creative and unique but the best part is they have balance! I also own it's predcessor, Oral Fixation 2 and I'm sorry but I could not have been more dissapointed with that album. To me it felt like American fans got screwed. I would have much rather she translated this entire album into English and marketed it to us, then what we orignally got! The only reason I say this, is because now we have to wait another three or four years for her next album to come out. True I'm pleased that I have this, but it would be nice to be able to sing along to the songs LOL! . Shakira's New CDs Not my favorite CD, but a good addition to the rotation. Liked the diversity of her music; still impressed by how talented this young woman is. Shakira fijacion oral vol. 1 I enjoyed purchasing the item on this site and will probably continue to do so. I really like this cd. I enjoy listening to this cd just about everyday. Shakira is the Best I totally love her music. I've followed Shakira's music from her first album, way back when she started in Colombia. Her breakthrough into the American music industry was a spectacular hit. . . Laundry Service was a great album. But Fijacion Oral really shows her diversity. Shakira is very particular about all her music, and in almost everything she does she is a perfectionist. This album really displays her creativity, her willingness to experiment and her talent. I definitely recommend this album. She's really fantastic. I love this album I think once you listen to it a few times you will love it too. I am a long time fan and I love this album. I think you have to be a real fan to like it. My friends all say it is not good becasue it is pretty mellow compared to her past albums which is true but I look past that. There are a few fun track like the obvious, la tortura and my personal favorite las de la intuicion. I think this cd could have used a few extra faster tracks but from what i heard on volume 2 i do not think she wants to go in that direction. Over all it is a pretty good album to relax too. The DVD is very fun too, it shows how she is on a personal level through the eyes of her own video camera and an awesome video, la tortura.
