Poesía Básica

I hardly understand anything - but the drive and the beat really get to me. Nice choice, will certainly put this on during a dinner with friends when we open the 3rd bottle of wine.

Kind of dug this a lot. Never heard of any of the musicians or the bands, but I understand this is a Spanish supergroup of sorts. I wish I understood what they were saying, but still enjoyed it nonetheless.

Cool Spanish music and poetry. Rocky and folky and full of feeling.

Spanish rock accompanying some Spanish poetry - extremely badass.

Yeah, I vibe to this. A great addition with some unexpected variety.

8/10. Crap, I keep listening to albums and then forgetting to review them day of. But this was quite good.

Spanish music - as in Spain - is truly behind a veil as far as Anglo America is concerned. But I've liked poem-focused music before, so it's a shame to have no way to penetrate that quality of Poesía Básica. There's certainly an arc from reason to exploits to celebration; More than that I can't say. As rock music it has quite a bit of character, always growly.

No idea what a word of this was about but enjoyed the listen

Well that was a fun listen. Accessible and entertaining.

I've often written on this list about the challenge of albums in languages I don't speak, a whole dimension of the music lost. It's almost worse in Spansish, the closest I get to a second language, but nowhere near fluently enough to get more than a fraction of this fast paced and presumably heavily idiomatic writing. It sounded good anyway. The music ran a gamut - I liked a lot of it very well but there were also a lot of pretty cliché rock chops in there.

Certainly some rad sections here! Unfortunately, it's a bit challenging to appreciate spoken word in a language you don't speak.

This is certainly interesting. Sadly, I can't understand the words as I don't speak Spanish, so I won't comment on that. Musically it's interesting, strangely it brings to mind the Alan Parsons Project for me. Kind of good, but also kind of generic sounding. The singing I don't really care for - not very pleasant to my ears. Overall this is just okay for me, but I'm glad I listened to it. 3 stars.

It's fine.

What's up with all native language bands? Nothing against it, but it just sounds so weird. Especially when it's also prog. In the end, not bad.

This was kinda fun, dig the latin vibe. 3/5.

This album didn't stick. although there were some okay-ish songs

A union between members of Extremoduro and Platero y Tú to pay tribute to the poet Manolo Chinato. A curiosity from the early century, interesting for fans of both bands, but in this context any of the best works of Extremo or Platero would have made more sense to be included

Lord Godiva.

This made me think of that Tarantino/Rodriguez movie From Dusk Till Dawn. But after having heard this album I'm way more inclined to go watch that movie again, than listining to this album ever again.

Solid record, not much of my taste
