3.0 goodBedex | July 15th 20

Nice and has the right ideas, but often struggles to really amaze. I don't know latin music genres much at all so please forgive my utter ignorance. My main gripe is probably the vocals, which are sometimes super cool, but sometimes really fail to hook me. 2's a good example. I also am not a fan of the English bits but idk if I can really blame them for that, especially since it is only on 1 and on 7 which are otherwise nice tracks. From 1-4 the record is quite bouncy with heavy bass, and 3,4 especially feel like some kind of local party music that you play at the village or something, 3 doing it a tiny bit better. 5 is the first of two interludes that use a super cool wind instrument which appears to be a Millo flute - the flute being more discrete on 10 which is overall less marking. 5 is among the best track, but 6 transitions quite awfully from it with too much singing too soon and the vocal's a bit meh. 7 works better but perhaps it just because it flows more naturally from 6 than 6 from 5. 8 goes back to the jolly, bass heavy style of the early record and is quite a fun track; while 9 is alright offering a slower dub sorta vibe. The transition from 10 to 11 is a whole lot better than with the prior interlude, and the album ends on a strong note with 12 having a lovely intro and the best instrumental here beside the flutey bits. Despite some rough vocal bits here and there it's a catchy song. But all in all this feels like an enjoyable listen but not one I'd seek out again soon. 3.0
