After 25 years together as a band, you'd expect Los Lobos to be spent creatively. Not so, though this East L.A. institution has settled into a perhaps too-comfortable groove with its past couple of albums. No longer the studio experimentalists of Kiko (still the group's best album), nor the Mexican roots-music purists of La Pistola y El Corazon, the band now offers a reliable mix of styles on each album--a smooth concoction that is equal parts roots-rock, blues, R&B, and Latin dance music. Although paired with new producer John Leckie (Radiohead, XTC), the band doesn't venture into much new sonic territory with Good Morning Aztlán. The most distinctive tracks are the three Latin-spiked numbers--in particular "Malaqúe," which merges vera cruzano harp with what sounds like Brazilian carnival rhythms--and a pair of gorgeous, '70s-inflected soul songs, "Hearts of Stone" and "The Word." Overall, Good Morning Aztlán is a good album but not a great one, at least by the band's lofty standards. --Keith Moerer

Another triumph for that band from East L.A........2007-03-09

I really enjoy the mix this band provides. Straight ahead rock n roll, a lot of blues influences, and the traditional rythyms of Mexico.
David Hidalgo and Cesar Rojas both have distinctive and enjoyable vocal styles. My favorite tracks are "Hearts of Stone and the title track. Enjoy!

It is their best since Kiko.......2006-07-19

David Hidalgo has to be placed up there when it comes to all-time great songwriters. This album is more diverse than some of their later albums and has arguably their greatest song ever in the title track "Good Morning Aztlan." I now own most of Los Lobos stuff and place this album probably as their third of fourth best and that is a compliment. If you are a fan, you will love this album. I must disagree with the person that wrote the official notes on top about this CD. I do not feel that the songs sung in Spanish are the best on this album, quite the opposite. The best songs are the ones penned and sung by Hidalgo.

The first song is worth the price of the CD..........2006-05-08

Put this CD in your stereo, press play, and CRANK it..."Done Gone Blue" rocks out unlike any other song they have ever done. A jamming start to a great album...highly recommended.

Back on the Right Track.......2005-08-31

After two disappointing albums "Collossal Head" and "This Time" it seems that Los Lobos are back on the "right" track. Though not as consistent as their great albums ( Neighborhood, Kiko etc.) there are some very strong tracks here. "Tony y Maria" and "What in the World" are beautiful ballads. And the title track is a great rocker. Great guiltar playing all over, and I simply love the voice of David Hidalgo.

VERY AVERAGE.......2004-03-04

This one is nothing more than mainstream rock, and while that
in it's self is not inherently bad, I've come to expect much
better from this band. I would recommend KIKO or BY THE LIGHT
OF THE MOON instead, especially if you are a new comer to LOS
LOBOS. THE NEIGHBORHOOD would also be an excellent choice. I
enjoy this band very much, but not this release. I hope their
next offering sees them returning to form.
Thanks,
Tom

Good Disc by A Great American Band.......2004-04-13

This album stands beside such Lobas discs as This Time and Colossal Head. Not their best work, but damn solid. If you are a fan definitely worth it. The fidelity on the Hybrid SACD is superb,, but BUYER BEWARE - this is a stereo mix, NOT a 5.1 mix.

Viva Los (luna) Lobos!.......2003-09-26

Encore! WOW! Thank God somebody gave America's greatest roots rock band the sonic attention they deserve. Mobile Fidelity Sound Labratory is back and I for one am ecstatic about that fact. This album is quite eclectic and the sound is superb. This was a cool, hip choice for MoFi's mysterious GAIN 2 remastering process. Add it to your collection TODAY...
