On his first studio album in three years, No Es Lo Mismo ("It's Not the Same"), Spanish superstar Alejandro Sanz expands his musical horizons in hopes of reaching a bigger Stateside audience. Already an accomplished songwriter (he wrote tracks for Ricky Martin's and Alexandre Pires' current albums) Sanz co-produced No Es Lo Mismo with Cuban musician Lulo Perez, and the new collaboration gives much of the album a crisp, fresh sound. Still grounded in the lush rhythms of flamenco, Sanz adds rock, earthy instrumentation, and even rap to the mix, with mostly impressive results. The first single and title track builds to a rousing crescendo amid solid percussion and vocal support, while Sanz amusingly dabbles in hip-hop on the bilingual "Try To Save Your S'ong." However, love ballads and social themes are trademarks of Sanz's repertoire, and there are enough of both here to satisfy longtime fans and pique new listener interest. --Joey Guerra

 The best of Sanz December 19, 2007
Cyco Damo (NZ)
This is my favourite album of Alejandro Sanz, with beautifully created songs in particular Sandy a Orilla do Mundo (my favourite Sanz song), Al Olvido Invito Yo (an incredibly intense song which sends shivers down your spine) Regalame La Silla, Lo Dire Bajito and Eso. I really can't understand anyone who says this album is no good, because in point of fact it's brilliant. Oh well, I suppose there's no accounting for taste.
 I could not listen to it twice. Alejandro Sanz has cantado muy mal October 26, 2007

This album "no es lo mismo" is not like any of his previous albums. It has the feel of a commercial album to fulfill a contract (pressure) from his label company. The songs do not have much words on them and most of songs sound the same (boring). Alejandro Sanz has done a fantastic job in Viviendo Deprisa, 3, Mas, but this is his worst album so far. He needs to go back to songs with great lyrics such as the ones in his previous albums.
My recommendation, don't buy this album. If you would like to know about Alejandro Sanz, his albums "Viviendo de Prisa", "Mas", and "3" are great,. His MTV Unplugged is also a great live album.

What can Alex Sanz do after writting one of the greatest latin-pop songs ever (Corazon Partio), produce an excelent unplugged performance and become one of the greatest selling spanish artist ever?
The answer: No Es lo Mismo, translates to something like Not The Same (Thing). And it is very aptly titled. Maturity as an artist is what Sanz brings on this album. OK, still the romantiticky ballads are there, but if you listen closely, its more intricate, more polished conceptually, long gone are the days of the "canta autor" image that soooooo many latin artist never shed and made them extinct. For those new here, like Shakira, Aleks Sanz is at the cutting edge of a nuevo Latin pop that is defined by globalization. The element that defines this album is diversity, but what makes it beautiful is passion. Listen to the Try To Save Your Song, could be the atmosphere of New York on a hot summer day as well as Miami, Playa Del Carmen, Ibiza or Buenos Aires. Highly recommended.

This CD is the absolute best CD I have listened to in a long time. I bought this album, having not heard any previous music by Alejandro Sanz. Boy I am glad I did buy it! It is continuously played in my car and also in my computer music library. With Alejandro it's all about the passion he puts into the lyrics. He is an excellent songwriter. The songs on this CD are uplifting at times and slow and beautiful also. My favorite tracks include, "Eso", my absolute favorite about his heartwrenching plea for understanding of a love that once was, and also "Lo Dire Bajito" and "Al Olvido Invito Yo" both beautifully written. Every track stands out. Buy this CD and you won't regret it. The title makes sense because "It's not the same" as Alejandro's previous albums and that's what makes it so great. He can be so diverse in his music but still capture the true essence about why he is such a powerful musician/songwriter and a prominent figure in Latin music today.
