Dear god, what is wrong with you people?! This album is amazing. Just because it's not the same style as their previous albums isn't a reason to hate it. The songs are amazing - especially "Santo Domingo" and "Ixtapa". The huge sound and variety of instruments can be overwhelming I guess, if you don't want that many sounds in your head at the same time. But if you don't think Anoushka Shankar's sitar solo is amazing then I can only imagine you belong to some other species!

While at first it seems great, after the second track It's easy to realize how mediocre an album this is. The premise seems solid, "1. Take fantastic guitar duo, 2. Add additional Instrumentation, 3. Profit" but in actuality the completed product is nowhere near as good as expected. What a couple years ago was inventive and original now is indiscernible from your dime-store, run-of-the-mill, latin bar bands. Rodrigo and Gabriela harshly toned down their own sound to fit better? with C.U.B.A, but in doing this they stripped the songs of a lot of enjoyment. I'm glad they're experimenting... but this is NOT the right direction if they're looking for opinions. 2.9/5

Area 52 is not bad but I would generally expect much more from RyG!
