Tainy is apparently a Big Name in the current reggaeton scene, and it shows with the five-star cast he got in DATA (anime profile pic warning). The best tracks here play with the constraints of reggaeton, like during the end both "FANTASMA / AVC" and "PARANORMAL" with tasty synthpop, "me jodi" that features a lovely chillwave vibe, or on the opener with its hard-hitting trap percussions. On the percussions: gotta say sometimes they eclipse the rest of the soundscape, especially the majority of the mega cool Nintendo 64-like synth lines. That's a pity, you should never bury Nintendo 64 synth lines!!! In the meantime, the more "classical" reggaeton tracks, despite being bouncy and danceable, ultimately add nothing to the already-oversaturated genre. A cool album for sure, that features enough variety to pop out of the reggaeton sphere (AND it features a reggaeton remix of Four Tet's "Lush"!!! Crazy!!!)
