Que gran disco...
Lo sigue muy de cerca el Sueño Stereo del '95 y el unplugged. Este es probablemente el mejor cd de Soda Stereo. No digo que sea el mejor solo por que contenga música ligera en su tracklist. De hecho el album tiene sorpresas incluso más agradables. Mucho Rock, solos de guitarra y bateria. Gran trabajo en Hombre Al Agua y Sueles Dejarme Solo. El album más rockero de Soda Stereo, sin perder la sutileza que los caracteriza.


Disco clave

Pero es más que eso. "Canción Animal" es seguramente el mejor disco de la más popular de las bandas de rock de América latina de todos los tiempos, Soda Stereo. Es el disco que permitió a toda una generación disfrutar de las más bellas poesías en combinación con los mortíferos riffs de la guitarra de Cerati y la demoledora base que componen Bossio-Alberti.
Es probable que si este disco no hubiese salido al mercado muchas de las grandes bandas latinas de hoy no hubieran existido.
Por suerte para todos, el disco salió fue exitoso y es un álbum clave para entender al rock en español. Temas recomendados: "Un millón de años luz", "Canción animal", "Hombre al agua" y, especialmente "De música ligera".


Rulers of Rock en Español
This production by extinct Argentinian super-band Soda Stereo, marks the peak of their creativity. The other reviewers have pretty much said it all: signed and delivered. Their work can almost be defined as pre-Cancion Animal and post-Cancion Animal. With some the band's most solid works, such as "El Septimo Dia" (the Seventh Day), "Un Millon de Años Luz" (A million lightyears), the track that gave the album its title, "De Música Ligera" (Made of Light Music) and "Hombre al Agua" (Man Overboard), this production is as solid as any Rock en Español act can aspire for, but also it marks a musical landmark that should serve as a reference for Rock music at large.

By blending styles gradually from Ska, Punk Rock and a sound that resembled The Police in Spanish in their first years, the band rised up to the ocasion during the years when music in English was not well regarded in Argentina (after the war in the Falkland Islands). Later on, they took on a particular-yet-ever-evolving style that would only belong to them, as the best Rock act in Latin America, during most of the eighties and the first part of the nineties, something that not even Mana or Cafe Tacuba can come remotely close to. If you want to get into Soda deeper, get this album, get Signos, and get "El Ultimo Concierto" (A and B). You won't regret it ever.


Soda's masterpiece...!
Soda Stereo is widely regarded as the best latin group ever, and this is definetely their masterpiece. This is quite probably the best work by any "rock in spanish" band in the world.

The record starts strongly enough with "(En) el séptimo día", a song with deep, twisted lyrics and great guitar riffs. It's followed by another great standard, "Un millón de años luz", showing some of Charly Alberti's best drum work. After that comes the title track, one of Soda's best pieces, and "1990" probably their *silliest* song, with a bit of a country influence in it.

Then there's "Sueles dejarme solo", that slows the record a bit, followed by three of their staples, "De música ligera" (their most famous track), "Hombre al agua" (a crowd favorite at concerts) and "Entre canibales". These tracks are filled with great guitar riffs, keyboards and nice bass lines.

Closing the album are "Te para tres", a mostly acoustic track, and "Cae el sol".

Definetely worthy of any music lover's collection -- this is a statement of Soda's greatness.


Simple and Powerful
In a way, it is the point of reference for many casual latin rock fans on Soda's music. This a record that has not been out performed by any other latin band or Soda Stereo.

The most striking aspect of this recording is how simple and straight foward these songs are. The instrumentation is perhaps the most guitar oriented in Soda's recording career. Zeta (bass) and Charly (drums) layed down a extremely solid foundation for Cerati's guitar to come foward. This recording offers a set of songs that have become standards for a Soda Stereo live performance such as the title track, De Musica Ligera, Hombre al Agua, Un Millon de años luz, etc.
