Molotov - "Yofo"

[tortuga]

Why didn't anyone tell me that they had new music out? Just this weekend I saw the video for this and was instantly impressed. The video is very creative and the song itself is very catchy if a little gimmicky though. The new album was released last month. Jeez, where was I?

A lot of their fans are pissed. They think they have sold out. I personally like it though. It's hilarious actually! I love the way Paco, Randy, & Co. make fun of as many people as possible. I especially enjoyed the comment about their record label.

Then again, as one of my favorite bands, Molotov can do no wrong in my book

Cool. I never pegged you as fan of Molotov.

I don't know what to say about fans calling them sellouts. How is this different from their other material? I only know them from their singles like "Frijolero" and "Here We Kum".

Yep! They're one of my favorite rock en espanol bands. I have all of their cd's except the new one. I've seen them about 3 times live in concert. They put on a crazy show!

I haven't listened to the new album in its entirety so of course I can't say, but the previous album, CON TODO RESPETO, wasn't as hard as the first three. I think that's where most of the criticism began. And it was the weakest of them all IMHO, but of course it was a cover album.

I just saw them live at the House of Blues (Dallas) last Saturday (my B-day!). The concert kicked ass! They only played about 4 tracks from their new album, Eternamiente, including the opening number, "yofo".

But of course the crowd favorites were the older hits like "gimme the power", "frijolero", "here we kum", and "puto". All in all, and awesome concert. These guys have not lost their touch!
