Please cry for more Argentina
If you want a band that really pushed the musical bar further than most latin Rock bands, here's your meal ticket. The Police is to the US/Uk what Soda Stereo is to Argentina and most of Latin America. This is definitely not the only solid Soda album, but it's one of my favorites for way too many tracks to list here. If you've been yearning for good Latin Rock that isn't too commercial, feels BS free and truly delivers on all artistic merits, you need this album. Simple as that. Cerati, Bosio and García are all WAY on their game for this album and the only bad thing is that this was the last studio album put forth by the band as a unit. Solo tenures have ensued, but every single Soda fan cries for another album. Do yourself a favor, click the add to cart button and trust me on this one. .


Rock that will never age
it's just simply awesome. Sueño Stereo is Soda Stereo's last studio recorded disc. It is my favorite studio recorded disc. It was recorded in 1995 and you hear it today and you still think that this is music from the future. I'm young and I was not born with the era of Soda I actually listened to them after they split up. Soda always will keep bringing young audiences because their music was way out of their time. I prefer music from their last albums because they show how much they evolve and create different styles of rock music. If you are a true listener of Soda Stereo you can notice the influence they received in the older albums from bands such as The Police, or Cure. This is probably the only band in Latin Rock that did not stick with older influences they went on to listen to what is out there. They have many experimental songs specially on Dinamo followed by Cerati's out of this world lyrics that will have you sitting on your room listening and feeling this music for hours. On Sueño Stereo they have some experimental songs but most importantly is to say that i think that on this disc they want it to leave as a legacy eternal music that will never age. They create songs such as Disco Eterno and Angel Electrico that give an extreme touch to your soul as to what this band does which at the end is just MUSIC!!! that shows how they wanted to accomplish their Sueño Stereo(Stereo dream)

Then again, this is just my opinion lol.


If you only purchase one Soda Stereo CD...
. . you'd be doing yourself a tremendous disservice, but that's beside the point. Of their entire output, this is the disc with which to start.

Then again, I'm biased. I bought the CD when it first came out, and it was the first CD of theirs I owned. I don't think I listened to much else for about a month after that, and it's still in heavy rotation ten years later.

In the other reviews, you'll see comparisons to a number of other bands that influenced Soda Stereo, and whose sounds echo faintly here. But this isn't just imitation; the band have made their influences their own to a degree that you have to listen hard sometimes to pick them up. It's a fuller, more mature work than a lot of their earlier recordings (where the outside influences are much more pronounced).

That said, the one disc that I'd compare this to is Radiohead's "OK Computer," in terms of its complexity and originality. Where it differs, though, is in the outlook of the bands' respective front men, and how that effects the music. "Suen~o Stereo" doesn't have the icy, alienated detachment that informs so much of Radiohead's work. Everything about this--Gustavo Cerati's music and lyrics, as well as his playing and that of Charly Alberti and Zeta Bosio--is engaged, and engaging, from the driven "Ella Uso Mi Cabeza Como Un Revolver" (quite a mouthful for a non-Spanish speaker like me) and "Paseando Por Roma" to the Eno-esque atmospherics that dominate the disc's second half.

Forget for a minute that this is Rock En Espan~ol, and never mind if you don't speak Spanish. This is an album that transcends language, and transcends time: it sounds as fresh, and sometimes as startling, now as it did when it came out, and there aren't too many albums of which you can say that.


Soda Stereo decided to leave with a bang!!
They broke up in 1997, but decided to leave us with this great album, Sueno Stereo. Once again this band has outdone itself. I always said that Soda Stereo was ahead of its time, and this album is evidence of that. Even 10 years after this recording, this album still sounds like it may been recorded yesterday because it sounds so fresh and modern, unlike anything you've heard before. I highly recommend everyone, whether you're a Soda fan or not, to purchase this album. You will not regret it. .


No pasa de moda...
Es más, han pasado casi diez años, y este disco todavía suena fresco, coo hecho este año. Este album esta muy adelantado a su epoca. Es sin duda uno de los mejores de Soda. Basta con escuchar a la rockera "Ella uso mi cabeza. . . . " o las guitarras de Disco Eterno, para darse cuenta de la genialidad de este disco. No es un album ordinario.
