5�Un Día Normal� is un CD excepcional  May 29, 2004 By zobo87
I bought this CD on a whim after hearing "A Dios Le Pido" on the radio (as I'm sure many other people did). It has quickly become one of my favorite CD's, and I'm constantly recommending it to other people. Here's my breakdown of each of the songs.

1. A Dios Le Pido--what can I say? The rhythm is infectious, the guitar combines a Latin flourish with good straightforward pop-rock, and the chorus is easy to sing along to!

2. Es Por Ti--an earnest, heartfelt song. The lyrics border on poetry: "Tu piel tiene el color/De un rojo atardecer..."

3. Un Dia Normal--a pensive song, with expressive, echoing guitar and a sort of lilt to the rhythm. I've always thought of this as a perfect song for driving down a long stretch of road on a sunny day.

4. La Paga--one of my least favorite songs on this album, actually (though that's not saying much). The music is a little harsher, a little less melodic, though it's fitting for the song's theme.

5. La Unica--He wrote this song for his mother! It's a touching tribute, with smooth, warm instrumentation and, again, those poetic love lyrics.

6. Luna--A blithe, clever twist on the "She loves me-she loves me not" motif, with Juanes affectionately asking the moon if his girl could be the love of his life.

7. Dia Lejano--A somewhat mournful song, a more straightforward ballad. The instrumentation complements the yearning feel of the lyrics: "Tal vez, algun dia lejano, quizas/Te vuelvo encontrar...te puedo olvidar..."

8. Mala Gente--He sounds like he's having so much fun on this song! Once again, the guitar playing matches the fiery, resentful tone of his singing, and frames a rousing damnation of a malicious ex.

9. Fotografia--Juanes's and Nelly Furtado's voices are perfectly matched, and her laughter and slightly Americanized Spanish add a spontaneous quality to another song about yearning and loneliness.

10. Desde Que Despierto--This song is a little guilty pleasure of mine. Not quite as substantial as some of the other songs on the album, this one leans a little more towards pure pop, but the lyrics are so wonderfully metaphorical ("Mira que en mis llagas no hay dolor si tu eres la sal/Y mi herida no es profunda si tu eres el puñal"), and the chorus so catchy, that I can't help but love it.

11. La Historia de Juan--This is the most overtly socially critical song on the album. The story of a love-starved street child is heartbreaking, both musically and lyrically.

12. La Noche--A less "pop-rock" song, more culturally informed, but it sounds like Juanes is having fun with the vocals.

I highly recommend this CD, even if you don't speak Spanish. The music communicates on its own, and Juanes is a skilled songwriter and musician.

4Juanes - Artista del mes  Jun 16, 2002 By Jose Angel
Hace poco más de un año muy poca gente en Estados Unidos conocía el nombre Juanes. No fue hasta que se anunciaron las nominaciones para los premios Grammy 2001 que el mundo se dio cuenta de que Colombia nos estaba ofreciendo otro artista especial.

Desde Medellín salió Juan Esteban Aristizabal V, y con su primer álbum "Fíjate bien" tomó a los críticos por sorpresa, y le dio a todos el presentimiento de que una gran estrella estaba por nacer.

Al igual que con su compatriota Shakira, gran parte del encanto de Juanes es su originalidad. Es cantante, compositor, guitarrista, arreglista, productor y promotor, y al hacer su música, no pide permisos ni ofrece excusas.

Todo lo que hace Juanes viene de adentro, algo que le falta a muchos jóvenes músicos hoy en día que se dejan atrapar por las garras del comercialismo, perdiendo a la vez ese toque que los hace especiales.

Otra cosa que destaca a Juanes es su humildad. A pesar del talento increíble que obviamente posee, el se comporta como que no es nada del otro mundo, algo que en mi opinión lo hace brillar aún más.

Con su segunda producción bajo el sello Universal, "Un día normal", encontramos a un cantautor mucho más relajado, mucho más libre de expresar su arte sin miedo al que dirán. Además del ya éxito "A Dios le pido", en el álbum también se destacan temas como "La Fotografía", un dueto con la estrella canadiense Nelly Furtado que se podría convertir en un clásico por el simple hecho de que ambos jovenes tienen futuros tan brillantes por delante.

Temas como "Mala Gente" y "La Paga" demuestran el orgullo que siente Juanes por los ritmos pegajosos de su Colombia natal. Lo mismo demuestra con su versión de "La Noche", tema original del legendario Joe Arroyo.

El mundo de la música nos lo introdujo de la noche a la mañana como rockero, pero con esta nueva producción Juanes demuestra que es mucho más que eso. Ningún critico debería atreverse a clasificar este disco como un disco de rock, porque eso sería encasillar un trabajo que de seguro cruzará fronteras musicales en todas partes del mundo.

Hasta el día de hoy mucha gente todavía no sabe mucho de Juanes, pero con el sencillo "A Dios le pido" escuchándose fuertemente en estaciones desde Los Angeles hasta Miami, no pasará mucho tiempo hasta que el nombre y el hombre se conviertan en otro símbolo de lo que orgullosamente ofrece Latinoamérica para el mundo entero.

4I really like this cd !!!!  May 29, 2003 By M. B. Alcat "Curiosity killed the cat, but satisfaction brought him back"
Juanes is great!! I discovered him this year, and I only regret I didn't listen his songs sooner. He is colombian, like Shakira, and even though they sing quite differently, both are wonderful.

This, "Un día normal", is Juanes's second solo album (the first was "Fíjate bien"), and I believe it is a keeper. I didn't give it 5 stars only because there are 3 songs I didn't care for (I didn't hate them, but they weren't as good as the rest).

If I had to choose my favorite songs in this cd, I'd choose "A Dios le pido" y "Mala gente". Both have rhytm, and convey feelings everybody has sooner or later. For example, in "Mala gente" he tells a ex lover who was awful to him that she can go to hell (but in quite a funny way).

Listen to those 2 songs (they are in this web site as samples), and if you can, buy the cd. It's worth it !!! :)

4A stand out album in a sea of Latin fluff  Nov 12, 2002
When listening to the latest Latin releases, I find myself dissapointed more often than not. There are albums that come along like Shakira's ¿Dónde están los ladrones?, Ely Guerra's "Lotofire", and the recent offerings from Alejandro Sanz that are awesome. Then there are bombs from Paulina Rubio, Thalia, and Las Ketchup that insult your intelligence. Thankfully, Juanes' album <> belongs in the "awesome" group. Similar to Shakira's use of a multitude of Latin sounds and styles on ¿Dónde están...?, Juanes creates a unique sound for each song. The stand out songs on the album are #1 A Dios Le Pido, #4 La Paga, and #12 La Noche. The only dissapointment on this album is the dull duet #9 Fotografía with the usually stellar Nelly Furtado. This album is a representation of what Latin music can be ( but often is not) and certainly represents great musica colombiana.

3Juanes has left his rock roots for pop  May 04, 2003 By Christi B.
I'm sorry, but I really don't understand why everyone favors Un Día Normal over Fíjate Bien. FB's lyrics, variety of songs and musical styles and overall depth make it a much superior album to the pop-tinged songs and lyrics of UDN. What has made me love Juanes ever since his Ekhymosis days (check out this awesome Colombian band) is his fusion of American rock (specifically influences such as Metallica and Led Zepellin) and his native Colombian rhythms. There is no one better at fusing rock and Latin rhythms than Juanes, but unfortunately, this isn't evident on Un Día Normal. However, I'm still one of the biggest fans of Juanes, and I'll support him despite his musical changes.

Lo siento, pero de veras no entiendo por qué todos consideran superior Un Día Normal a Fíjate Bien. La letra, variedad de canciones y estilos musicales y la profundidad general de FB lo hacen un álbum tan superior a las canciones y la letra pop de UDN. Lo que me ha encantado de Juanes desde sus días con Ekhymosis (busca y escucha esta banda colombiana increíble) es su fusión del rock americano (en especial influencias tales como Metallica y Led Zepellin) y sus ritmos natales colombianos. No hay nadie que fusione mejor el rock y los ritmos latinos que Juanes, pero desafortunadamente, esto no es evidente en Un Día Normal. Sin embargo, todavía soy una gran fan de Juanes, y lo apoyaré a pesar de sus cambios musicales.
