Compressed Fidelity

Of all the CDs I've purchased this one is the lowest quality of fidelity ever. The producers have compressed the life out of a high energy artist. This one can only sound good on earbuds or tiny computer speakers. CDs are usually known for full fidelity, sharp crisp highs, lots of dynamics, close to a live performance sound. The producers have turned a high quality performer's work into mush. Thanks Sony and Angelo Medina, you've produced a new low. February 18, 2008

Very Good Album...

Very good album, I like the spanish greatest hits album "La Historia" a little better. If you only know english, this album will be great for you. If you are equally fluent on both english and spanish than "La Historia" will be the better choice. January 10, 2008

Greatest Hits (for the fickle English speaking audiences)

I like anything Ricky does. Been listening to him since I was 12 and he was 12. So, although some may think that it's a bit (what's the word...Oh yeah..,)Pretentious for him to have a cd releasing Greatest Hits, it bears reminding that Ricky Martin should have definitely had a Greatest Hits to include all of the other music he's recorded. The problem with that is that most of the people who know who he is now, because of the songs released in English, wouldn't or couldn't appreciate what he's done way before they knew that this multi-talented BORICUA existed. I witnessed that firsthand at his concert at the Garden in NY. Once he started singing his songs from his first Spanish self-titled album, most of the girls screaming at him shaking his bombom, sat down promptly and lost interest. So take it from me, if you want to add this to your collection, please do. Whether new fan or an old one like me. But remember, if you want to experience him at his best, listen to some of his solely spanish stuff too. It's worth it. May 30, 2003
