Laundry Service

Objection(Tango)-a very catchy tune with splendid lyrics 9/10
Underneath your clothes-SUPERB!! great lyrics that just want to make you sing along! 10/10
Whenever Wherever-all time favourite. A great hit with the latin-american pan pipes, great! 10/10
Rules-nicely sung with good lyrics-8/10
the one-A slow song, but not a very catchy tune. The lyrics are good though, they make you laugh!! 7/10
Ready for the good times-nice up-beat tune with good use of voice-9/10
Fool-an excellent song about a wife chasing after her husband and he doesn't have any feelings for her-9/10
Te Dejo Madrid-a nice catchy tune but it will take you a while to learn the words!!!-8/10
Poem to a horse-good use of music but a little on the dull side. I partically like the lyrics on this one, they are about a useful boyfriend-6/10
Que Me Quedes Tu- a nice combination of instruments and sounds, but this song isn't really catchy, but it is nice to listen to anouther language 7/10
Eyes like yours (Ojos Asi)- one of the best on the album! Vety dramatic with that egyptian style sense of music, absolutley superb! 10/10
Suerte (Whenever Wherever)- the spanish/latin maerican version of Whenever Wherever. Just as good as the orginal one, nice to listen to different languages 10/10
Te Aviso, Te (Tango)-Again, in a different language, but just as good. Real nice to listen to 10/10

I hope this review has helped you decide whether or not you would like to purchase this album. I totally recommend it! Well done Shakira for producing such a great album! Look forward to hearing more of you!!!

What an amazing album! Shakira has excelled in her debut offering.
If like me you get bored of listening to the same type of song on albums, then this is the album for you.
It is a mixture of rock, love ballards and pop.
Take a tip from me, if you like to excersize to fast-paced music choose these songs: Ready For The Good Times, Te Dejo Madrid. And if you want a song that you could belly dance or a song with eastern flavour listen to Eyes Like Yours.
Wonderful! En-core!

I really enjoyed this album : it's fresh and dynamic. I disagree with critics who say she is like Celine Dion. She has a very original latin touch that is totally different to the Canadian Celine. "Whenever, Wherever", is just brilliant and a great dance hit and there are plenty more hits on the album. My favourite is "Poem to a Horse". Her voice is unique and there is not one song on the album that I dislike. I particularly liked the ones in Spanish. I recommend it!


Excellent - but..........   February 18, 2004

This was the first Shakira album I'd heard bought as a result of Whenever Wherever, and the Spanish content, as I was learning Spanish at the time (still am). I thought all was excellent if sometimes a little quirky though blowing fresh air through a load of stale music heard elsewhere. And then I found more of Shakira's recordings - and here's the BUT. Laundry Service is excellent BUT by far better is Shakira Unplugged - all Spanish. Try it.
