 Shakira's Best Album So Far Dec 18, 2009
Many fans believe that 1998's Donde Estan los Ladrones is Shakira's best album. I love that album but I have to disagree with them and say that Fijación Oral vol. 1 is Shakira's defining moment as an artist. She shines as a writer, a producer, and a vocalist. The lyrics are some of Shakira's best and the music is characterized by Shakira's own unique brand of fusion. Yet, I am sure that the future will bring us another Shakira album where she will top herself again.
Takes me back to Shakira's very 1st album Sep 20, 2009
Takes me back to Shakira's very 1st album Pies Descalzos. Since Shakira went english I kind of lost intrest. However, this album Fijación Oral, Vol. 1 was a whole lot better.... I give this one a 5 star. Very very good and mellow out.

 Shakira - produccion latina - musicos latinos Dec 11, 2008
Yo estaba esperando otra cosa. Despues que anuncio que planeaba dos discos, uno en espan~ol, y el otro en ingles, yo esperaba que el disco en espan~ol hubiese traido unas gran influencias latinas. Estuve muy equivocado.
Con excepcion de "La Tortura", en ritmo de reggaeton, suena mas como la musica de artistas como Coldplay, pero cantado por Shakira. Y hablando de Coldplay, se copiaron de su tocar de piano. Si el nombre del productor, Rick Rubin, y los musicos que no me acuerdo sus nombre ahora, no suenan latinos, menos latino sono su estilo de tocar la musica.
Obviamente le gusto a mucha gente le gusto y estoy en la minoria. Pero si crees que escucharas un poco de instrumentacion latina como la trompeta Mejicana de "Ciego Sordomuda" o los instrumentos de viento andinos en "Suerte" te equivocaras.
Easily her best work; an artistic triumph May 05, 2008
This album is simply amazing. After the commercial success of her first U.S. release, LAUNDRY, Shakira went back to her artistic roots with this all-Spanish album. The musicality, lyricism, and tone of this CD puts all of her prior and later work to shame. Even the English VOL. 2, a great album in its own right, pales in comparison. Shortly after its release, "Hips Don't Lie" (which is not included on the original version of VOL. 2) became a big hit. I don't assume Shakira will ever return to this sort of artistic work, preferring to make millions making mindless pop songs, and who can blame her? At least she gave the world this one resounding triumph of sound.
Beautiful Music! Sep 29, 2007
This CD is an outpouring of Shakira's more mature, thoughtful and emotional side. The CD is full of songs that are more mellow than "Grandes Exitos."
Overall, the all-Spanish CD is excellent and offers a lovely, toned-down version of Shakira's vocal style.
