It just sucks that everyone else in the world will be getting a copy of it this month except the US.
I know I've been waiting for this since July. But hopefully it comes out November 10th. Day before my birthday. Perfect present! Especially if it includes even more amazing songs.
Fantastic album. I actually think this is her best English effort easily, slightly beating Laundry Service and definitely miles better than Oral Fixation Vol 2. This is the first Shakira album where except for "Gypsy", you can play every track in the club and in parties as well.
"Why Wait/Anos Luz" has one of the hottest beats ever. And "Men In This Town" is like the perfect continuation to "Las De La Intuicion". And "Good Stuff" is a wonderful slice of Arabian pop, like "Ojos Asi"'s much distant cousin.
In fact, to best describe "Men In This Town":
Shakira's "Las De La Intuicion/Pure Intuicion" + Britney's "Brave New Girl" = Shakira's "Men In This Town".
I think I'd rank my favorites like this:
01 Why Wait/Anos Luz
02 Men In This Town
03 Did It Again/Lo Hecho Esta Hecho
04 Good Stuff
05 She Wolf/Loba
06 Mon Amour
07 Gypsy
08 Spy (Although I enjoy this, I really hope this doesn't become a single just because Wyclef's on it, to replicate "Hips Don't Lie"'s success)
09 Long Time
As for the moment, the best albums from the Queen Of Latin Pop:
01 Donde Estan Los Ladrones?
02 Fijacion Oral
03 Pies Descalzos
04 MTV Unplugged
PERFECTION.
05 She Wolf
06 Laundry Service/Servicio De La Lavanderia
---------------------------
07 Oral Fixation Vol. 2 (Still a very good album, but I don't enjoy it as much as the other 6 even though I still adore "Animal City", "Timor", and "How Do You Do").
