Reptilectric the album: It's pretty good, quite beautiful and fantastically interpreted, and yet, at first listen it all sounds a bit too alike, the songs sort of bleed into each other. But give me a day or two to learn all the songs by heart and listen to it a couple of hundred times and I'll be in love with it. ♥ ♥

Reptilectric: Nice, but weird. Mosty, this is SO WRONG for a single. Just. I've no idea what they're thinking as of lately, they've been using the worst songs for singles for two albums, and YET they're more famous than ever, it's so BIZARRE. But good, obviously, although now I have to deal with a couple of thousand extra prats in their concerts.

Nada: Quite vintage and utterly gorgeous in its mellowness - the kind of song that makes you think of metaphors of pools and how you want to dip yourself in it

Sombras: Very 80s. Reptileptric's response to Memo Rex's No Me Destruyas. Simple and nice and that's it.

No Hay Dolor: Nice, but simple. It hardly feels like Zoé, though. And yet, good guitar. Slightly 70s-ish.

Poli: Very, very 60s. I AM FEELING A TREND HERE. Lovely, really, though, I liked it lots.

Resiste: 'Envolvente' es la palabra, y no existe en inglés, así que esta se califica en español. Preciosa, y me gustan las letras. Eso si, ¿Dónde quedó el ROCK, Zoé? OH, ROCANLOVER. A VECES EXTRAÑO TU NOVEDAD.

Neandertal While León's falsetto is distracting, the music is gorgeous, and the arrangements and really really pretty. Again, mellow, but I guess the entire album is like that.

Fantasma: Slightly boring, if I have to be honest. This is Paula's evil twin, and Paula bores me too, really. It's prettier, though.

Luna: Gets beautiful by the end, but it's quite boring at the beginning. YET MORE MELLOWNESS. REMEMBER ASTEROIDE, ZOÉ? I FELL FOR YOU WITH THAT SONG. DO THAT AGAIN.

Últimos Días: Nice and fun. The kind of song that you like more and more as you listen to it again and again.

Babilonia: Fucking gorgeous. The most powerful song in the album, hands down. The lyrics are even more disjointed than usual, though, and León was obviously QUITE HUNGRY apart from QUITE HIGH (but that's like, a given, with him, lol) while writing it, haha.

Also! The CD comes with a preview of the 281107 DVD (of their live performance in Mexico City a year ago, for those that don't know) and lajflskdjf it looks so utterly fantasticcccc.

¡¡¡AHHHHH!!! Ale, el disco está tan chido, Ivie me decía que era diferente pero aún así muy bueno y tiene totalmente la razón, creo que le apostaron al experimento y no es mi disco favorito de ellos pero ¡está tan bueno! <33333 Es lo único que he escuchado desde el miércoles y ¡ahhhh! ¡¡Babilonia!! ¡¡Resiste!! No hay dolor y Nada son mis favoritas <333333333333

Espero poder comprarlo el domingo que ahora lo necesito más por que no sabía que traía el preview :P

Preview? [...] ahhh lo quiero!!!! pero claro como vivo en una orilla del mundo ¬_¬ algún día podre comprarlo, espero que el martes a más tardar!.

Creo que Babilonia es mi favorita, pero la primera vez que la escuche fue "...acaba de decir Mermelada de tu ser? WTF!" Pero ahora, despuès de mil veces o así, me encantan y ya tengo el coro en la mente todo el tiempo.

Algo me dice que Nada va a ser el siguiente sencillo.
A todos parece gustarle Sombras y a mí todavía no me atrapa. Raro.
Mientras puedo conectar tooodas las canciones con Paula, para mi Fantasma es para/sobre su papá al menos es lo que gusta pensar.
ah! y Poli que me da la sensación que habla de Cocaína *rolleyes*

Te ponen como un minuto de video de, eeeh, déjame ver si me acuerdo... Dead, Mrs. Nitro, Vía Láctea, No Me Destruyas y Vinyl, creo. Mrs. Nitro, en especial, se ve chidíiiiisimo - muy trabajado, como Deja Te Conecto, aunque a colores. Cuando sale el dvd, a todo esto?

Hasta el nombre, ooooh, que lindo. Solo la he oído una vez - apenas estoy repitiendo el disco completo en el carro (estoy en el servicio social haciéndome mensa, jaja).

Sombras se me hace medio x, no te creas. Resiste, Nada y Babilonia son las que serían mejores sencillos, diría.

Re: Fantasma - no, no digo tanto por las letras, mas bien por ser la baladita aburridona obligatoria del disco. Todavía no me digiero mucho las letras, para eso tengo que ponerme super audífonos o algo así y como que traía dolor de cabeza, je.

Salga en el cine o no, el plan de ellos (ellos Zoé no ellos EMI) es sacar el Dvd el 28 de este mes.

Esas 3 que dices quedarían muy bien de sencillos y las veo posibles...siempre que el mundo no se llene de niñas llamadas Poli, como con Paula u.u

So, I'm listening to the album right now (thank you for the upload!), and I fucking love it! So thank you very much ♥!

WEEEE! I love getting people obsessed with them! :DDD Which song did you like best?

Oh, that's hard. Mmh, I think Reptilectric's pretty awesome, as well as Neandertal. I also find myself listening to Resiste quite a lot. But you know, I think it's the type of album where I'll listen to a couple of songs on repeat for a while, and then rotate until I've gone through it all, haha.
