One of the best in any language
This album is simply one of the best I've heard in a decade. Cafe Tacuba defies categorization; every song is different. The depth of this band's creativity and skill comes through on every track. By the way, if you don't speak Spanish, don't pass this up because of that. The lyrics are great, but the album is worthwhile just for the music. One of the best in any language!
Masters of Rock en Espanol
Cafe Tacuba is the greatest band in the Rock en Espanol movement. They artfully combine native rhythms, pop styles, Mexican street music, ballads, mariachi, and more to create a totally unique and dynamic style. On this album, you will experience Cafe Tacuba's dazzling flexibility as they go from the rhythmic masterpiece of "El Aparato" to the manic punk-mariachi of "Ingrata" to the smooth pop balladry of "Esa Noche". This album is a must-have. You don't have to be a chilango to enjoy Cafe Tacuba's great world music!
Simplemente lo mejor
Sin duda este disco fusiona el folclor y música tÃpica mexicana, rock y pop. Un gran clásico imperdible para los amates de la música.

If you are a Cafeta fan, you'll really like this cd. This cd has a big range of variety in the moods, styles, rhythms, and everything. You realy can't get bored with this cd. Some of the best songs (to me) is Fin de infancia, Esa Noche, and La Pinta...but like i said, all of them are awesome. If you like this cd, i highly recommend that you check out their other cds like cuatro caminos, valle campana, and tiempo transcurrido. Yeah, what else can i say....they rock. Elfego rocks!!!! aweeee man!!!
Addictive
Re by Cafe Tacuba is one of those albums you hear is good from a friend. So you buy it, put it in your cd player, and the first time you hear it it seems odd - like nothing you've heard before. It's Mexican pop music, for sure, but somehow it's deeper, richer and more inventive than you ever might have expected. You decide to leave it in your player and listen to it a few more times, to fully understand it. Before you know it, a week has gone by and you're humming the melodies to Re in the street, and it's not boring to put it on when you get back. It's got so much to keep you in thrall: beatlesque/XTC/radioheadesque pop, mexican guitars, ska, death metal, el mariachi, etc. etc. etc. After a few weeks you take the disc out of your player and put it on a shelf, but the sounds will always be with you. Those sounds will always bring back the moments of your life when you first purchased Re. It's THAT good of an album.
So, I'm telling you now. Re is a good album, you should pick it up and give it a listen - and let a new season of your life begin.
