"This Album is essentially the flip side to Fabulosos Calavera(Their Best album)..Again they mix Milongas...Jazz..Argentine Municipal March songs! ( And thats just the title track..)..Its lighter and some of the sense of humor the Cadillacs are known for a bit buried in Calavera come back with a vengeance in this album....Its was is a great additinon to their caltalogue...Maybe not for fans who esssentially want another El Leon...I just say that for all the fans that keep bitching about the past 2 albums....and antoher thing..They are not the same Ska Band of the mid 80's with its apex with el Satanico Dr Cadillac Album(My favorite album)...or even the same as they were earlier in the decade when they made El Leon, "Matador" and Rey Azucar.....they are maturing constantly growing as musicians..And at least they do what ever they want to do....and another thing...VASOS VACIOS IS A DAMN COMPILATION NOT AN ALBUM... Could you bastards who think this is the best Cadillacs album get that straight through your thick skulls....thats like saying Hey the Beatles Greatest hits is better than Revolver....Sorry rambled on there..."

MATURE, INTENSE, SHOCKING...

"As a long time fan of Los Fabulosos Cadillacs I would rate this CD right up there with there finest works, maybe a notch below some. In recent years LFC have been becoming more and more inaccessible in their style. In other words if you're a fan and enjoy the growth and exploratory nature of their music you will still like their work. If you are a new listener and maybe have heard only one or two songs like Matador on the radio you may be let down. This a fine piece of work that reflects this bands maturity and growth. On this CD you will fine further explorations in jazz and a return to Argentina roots by making more use of the accordian for Tangoesque sounds that blend well with the pounding rhythms. Gone are the days when this band was a wild ska band that filled the room with music to party to. Imagine college bar then, sophisticated lounge now, same players different time period. They have mellowed with age, they have been around for close to 20 years but continue to release great music. The mainstays of the group,bass player extronaire Flavio,not to confused with the beefcake variety, is magnificent playing a variety of bass instruments as is Vicentico on vocals. I have seen them perform at various time in their long career and it it seems that lately Vicentico is getting a little bored with singing and performing. Nothing could be further from the truth on this CD as his vocals are in fine form with full range but always highlighted with his nasal style. This is not the CD to begin your collection with , Vasos Vacios,El Leon or one the many Greatest Hits CD's may be a better place to begin. If you like LFC this is a FANtastic piece of their latest incarnation."
