"Nelson "De la Holla" Mendoza has done it again. This album is great. The production is excellent and the mambos are going to make you wanna dance till your feet hurt. The engineers in this album did a much improved job when mixing this album than the previous album. The sound is a lot better and you can pump this album a get a great sound. The Lyrics are very funny and entertaining. In the track "Donde estan" Nelson proves he is not afraid of any merenguero when he mocks other groups and lets them know who's the man. Another track that resembles his mastrery of merengue is "La Malaria" this track proves that he is very consistent with his albums and keeps the tradition of him coming up with a track that is funny and makes fun of his misfortunes. In "Rompe Hueso" Nelson goes the Hermanos Rosarios route by showing that he also has swing and he really got it off. Some groups which I'm not gonna name should pay attention to that and learn. Other good tracks which you'll like are "Salchichon", "Mambo y Coro", "Los Bagos", "Guillao de Loco", and "La Pela". This album is very good and it should be a must have. Nelson Mendoza really proves that he is original y sin copia. For some people that think he is un mal agradecio, que cojan esta pelota a mano pela'."
