5 out of 5 stars Un album hermoso! An gorgeous album!.......2005-12-27

El primer album de los Jaguares y discutiblemente el mejor. Aqui se encuentra la primera de muchas formaciones de los miembros, con Jose Manuel Aguila (guitarra), Alfonso Andre (bateria), Federico Fong (bajo), y Saul Hernandez (guitarra y voz). Tal persona puede decir que en este disco se encuentran las canciones mas oscuras de los Jaguares. "Dime Jaguar", "El Milagro", "Solo Somos Suenos" y muchas mas resonan la oscuridad y la mistica de Saul. Este disco merece mas de cinco estrellas. Y otra nota...Yo creo que Saul es un cantante mucho MAS mejor que Jose Manuel Aguila, y no se porque unos prefieren oir a Aguila cantar en "El Equilibrio".

4 out of 5 stars An awesome band... a not so vocal leader.......2005-07-09

It was 1996 and Jose Manuel Aguilera, Mexican guitar virtuoso formed `La Barranca', band in which he was accompanied by Federico Fong and Alfonso Andre. They release their first album "El fuego de la noche" and it is acclaimed as one the best rock albums ever.

Same year, Saul Hernandez dismembers `Caifanes' apparently due to a legal dispute with Alejandro Markovich over the use of the name of the band. Saul decides to create a new band called `Jaguares', but now he is more cautious and registers the name for himself only. So, he invites Jose Manuel Aguilera (Sangre Azteca), Federico Fong and Alfonso Andre (Caifanes) to partake as guests on his first `Jaguares' album. The result? The best album `Jaguares' will ever have.

The lyrics are dark and obscure (if you don't believe me listen to `El equilibrio pt 1 and 2') as they have always been from Saul Hernandez, but what really makes this album a pleasant experience is the musical contribution of his guests (Saul was bold enough to credit himself alone as `Jaguares' in the booklet, he also clarifies that the musicians are only guests)

The guitar of Jose Manuel Aguilera will captivate your attention on every track of this album, actually what I consider the best two songs of the album are the contributions of Aguilera to it: `Clavame major los dientes' and `Solo somos sueños' with beautiful and metaphorical lyrics. The contribution of Andre is impressive as it has always been since the days of Caifanes, and Federico Fong is just unbelievable.

Unfortunately the weak point of the album is the lead, the voice of Saul Hernandez suffers from the results of the operation he had, he had apparently this tumor that had to be extirpated and affected his voice. It would have been nice if he had given Jose Manuel Aguilera the opportunity to sing his own themes, but in those day (even nowadays) Saul was in his pose of `rock star' and wanted to be the point of attention of the band, a mistake that has cost his band to be suffering constant changes in their lining.

Highlights of the albums are `Dime jaguar', `A donde vamos a ir' and `Nunca te doblaras'

Overall, a very good album thanks to the contributions of the guests, but definitely nothing compared to `El fuego de la noche', album in which Aguilera, Fong and Andre had the freedom to experiment and do what they wanted and not what a lead with delirious of grandeur instructed.

4 out of 5 stars Un Jaguar resurge.......2004-12-05

Primer album de Jaguares. Saul Hernandez es acompañado en este disco por Jose Manuel Aguilera (Sangre Azteca), Federico Fong (Kenny y los Electricos) y Alfonso Andre (Caifanes), musicos de LA BARRANCA.

Las canciones hablan de cierta depresion por parte de Hernandez, es un disco muy oscuro, prueba de ello son canciones como "Voy a Volar" y "Huracan".

La aportacion de Aguilera en "Clavame Mejor los Dientes" y "Solo Somos Sueños" es algo excelente.

Canciones recomendadas: Detras de los cerros, Nunca te doblaras, Clavame Mejor los dientes, Adonde Vamos A Ir.

5 out of 5 stars One of the Greatest.......2004-07-27

Although their last album - Cuando la Sangre Galopa, actually surpassed this in my opinion, El Equilibrio, remains still one of the finest rock recordings ever.
The music is complex, meshing various styles and sounds, like a blend of The Cure, the Doors, and Sabbath. The tracks that stand out the most are: Dime Jaguar, Detras de los Cerros, Las Ratas no Tienen Alas, Huracan, and my fave Nunca te Doblaras. This a brilliant album, being dark, melodic, complex, atmospheric, and flows almost organically. A must-have for all fans of real rock!

5 out of 5 stars Deserves more than 5 stars!.......2004-05-21

Believe me when I tell you that this album will BLOW your mind! There is a reason why one of my fave singers of all time (morissey) asked them to open up for him although they only sing in Spanish. Jaguares/Caifanes (same band) are the best contemporary rock band, period.. Surpassing the creative talent of U2, Depeche mode, Pulp, Weezer and the cure (and I own all of these groups' albums), and especially soda stereo. Even if you don't speak spanish, their instrumentals alone are enough to impress an avid music listener like myself. It's unlike anything you've ever heard.. And I like all types of music. Without a doubt, they are my fave band in the entire world and I had the honor of meeting Saul after a concert in NYC and getting his autograph. The only thing I was able to tell him was that he was a GENIUS. That's what you'll think after listening to this album once. You don't want to die without experiencing this, it's pure nirvana (eternal peace).
