Album Description
Natalia Jimenez and Angel Reyero are back after their very successful album El Mundo Se Equivoca. Now, they return with their fourth new album, Sin Frenos.

La Quinta Estacion has received numerous awards including a Latin Grammy and Billboard award plus many more throughout their career.

The new album includes 12 tracks written by Angel and Natalia and features powerful songs plus great ballads with the unmistakable and already classic voice of their lead singer. The mix of pop rock and Mexican sounds that made them so popular are also part of this new work.

Armando Avila produced Sin Frenos as well as three other studio albums and his participation guarantess the quality and style of this release.

La Quinta Estacion is no doubt one of the most important pop rock groups to emerge in the last few years in the Latin region, U.S. and Spain. Their songs are radio classics and part of the catalog of music for many fans. This new album won't be the exception and will be one of the most important albums for Latin music in 2009.

About the Artist
Natalia Jimenez: Voice
Ángel Reyero: Guitar

There are bands with interesting back-stories and without a doubt “La 5ª Estación” is one of them.
They have made Mexico their home, where they live, create and play their songs … “We believed in the project,” comments Natalia. “When we still didn’t have anything we would imagine that it would be well received in Latin America, but we never thought that we’d cross the Atlantic so fast. All of a sudden we got a contact in Mexico and we went there to record.”

By the end of 2002, they had recorded their first album in Madrid. Entitled, “Primera Toma,” the album was solely released in Mexico. The first single, “Donde Iran,” was chosen as the soundtrack for the youth soap opera “Clase 406.”

In February 2004 “Flores de Alquiler,” their second album, which the band chose to produce entirely in Mexico, was completed. It included eleven fresh self-authored songs that definitely reflected their enormous growth on both, a musical and a poetic level.

“Flores de Alquiler” earned the band innumerable honors and achievements: La 5ª. Estacion hit Double Platinum in Mexico and United States. They were given several important recognitions such as the Billboard Award for “Best Latin Pop Airplay, New Generation,” (“Algo Mas”); ASCAP (The American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers) United States’s “Best Rock Song” award; and the “Orgullosamente Latino, People’s Choice 2005” award in the “Best Latin Group” category (an award voted on by the Ritmoson Latino channel’s TV audience). The album’s success was totally reflected by the extraordinary sold-out concert they gave at the Metropolitan Theater in Mexico City in April 2005.

At the end of that same year, they recorded their first live acoustic record, entitled “Acústico, La Quinta Estación,” with versions of hits such as “Perdición,” “Daria,” “El Sol No Regresa,” “Algo Más” and “Niña.” The album reached Platinum in Mexico and United States, selling over 200,000 copies.

Their live sound has become characterized for being powerful and vibrant, something they have proven in more than two years of touring important venues while touring Latin America, the United States and Spain.

In 2006, their growth process continued coinciding with the cutting of “El Mundo se Equivoca.” This positioned them further in all the territories during 2006 and 2007, with more than 30 concerts per year during each summer.

In 2007, as a result of their incredible job on this album, they received a number of honors and awards including the Latin Grammy for “Best Pop Album by a Group or Duo.”

In 2008, during “El Mundo Se Equivoca” tour they performed over 30 sold out shows in Spain, earning them total recognition and success in their homeland, where their album reigned the top of the charts of Spain’s highest-selling albums for over 81 weeks.

It is in this way that these “immigrants of music” have earned an important place in the music scenes in Mexico, Spain and Latin America. With a career full of hits and awards, now “La Quinta Estación” returns with a new and extraordinary album entitled “SIN FRENOS.”

Customer Reviews

Another great album!
I got 'addicted' to La Quinta Estacion's music when I first heard the pop song Daria from their CD Flores de Alquiler. I bought that album and was blown away from songs I found on it (my favorites: Niña, Daria and Rompe El Mar). The next CD was the CD/DVD Acustico, containing 'unplugged' live versions of most songs from Flores de Alquiler plus the beautiful ballad Perdicion. I think I have seen the DVD over a 100 times as it became my (then) 1 year old daughter's favorite video on the PSP. I couldn't wait for the next CD (El Mundo se Equivoca) and was not disappointed when I first heard it. A perfect balance of pop, ballads, rock en mexipop. I started visiting their concerts in various countries and realized I now really was a fan.. The concerts are great and full of emotion. Natalia has a strong voice and knows how to play with the audience. Go see them whenever you get a chance! And now we have Sin Frenos. Another great album. As with most great albums, you need to listen to it a couple of times to start recognizing the beauty of it. My favorite songs so far: Recuerdame, Engañame and Me Dueles. I just saw their live show in Santo Domingo, singing for the first time songs from this new CD and they were received very well by the audience. Don't hesitate, just buy the CD and prepare yourself for becoming an La Quinta Estacion addict too...

Great, yet too Mexican
1. "Que te quería" (The one that loved you)- First single off the album and one of the best. It's different from past first singles in the sound (less Mexican, more rock), but the lyrics remain in la Quinta's style. The song has power, very good to sing along to and Natalia's voice sounds great here. 4/5
2. "Me dueles" (You hurt me)- This song reminds a bit to their smash hit "Me Muero", though this one falls a little short. Love the fact that it starts very smoothly with Natalia's voice and the acoustic guitar and it explodes in the chorus. Though I love their mix of Mexican sounds with pop rock, this time I think they take it too far...this song sounds too Mexican for my taste. The lyrics are good as always ("Me dueles como duelen los ojos, de haberte llorado tanto")
, but I believe less Mexican and more pop rock would have been better and probably would have turn this song into "Me Muero's" continuation. 4/5
3. "Mis labios por tus piernas"(My lips throughout your legs)- The title is very explicit and I love that, because it's different, it's not as generic. It's a fun song very similar to El Mundo se Equivoca's "Para no decirte adiós" sound. This song exemplifies La Quinta Estacion's sound and lyrics. 4/5
4. Te quiero (I love you)- This is the first song that shows new sounds on the album. Love the way it starts. The lyrics are simple but perfect for couples in love, something like what "Algo más" was in Flores de Alquiler, though they are completely different songs musically. It mixes La Quinta's Mexican sounds but also adds other rhythms that make this song interesting. It could be a single because is one of the few ballads in the album and usually they have better luck with their ballads than the upbeat tunes. 4/5
5. Sin frenos (Without Brakes)- The album's title track and pretty conservative in terms of sound and lyrics; it's just one other song from La Quinta. It has their label and I like though its nothing new or refreshing. It sounds like a song that didn't make it to El Mundo se Equivoca. However, I like it because it gives the album its title, and it really explains what the album is about: La Quinta is not afraid of new things. 3/5
6. Recuerdame (Remember me)- This is Natalia's solo version, but I will talk about the duet with Marc Anthony. It's a very powerful song, probably La Quinta's most strong sound wise song. The duet is perfect as they both have great vocal talents and they blend perfectly; neither sounds better than the other. It will probably be the second single, with harsh lyrics and a great performance, La Quinta has to make this a single, for it would help them in countries where Marc Anthony is big. Also it is a power ballad, something La Quinta is known for. This song was made to sing it live, and I would love to see this duet in their concert. 4/5
7. Esta noche no (Not tonight)- Great upbeat song. It will definitely be a single. It's probably the most pop rock song on the album and it has a very easy to stick chorus so it will be a hit. Also, it is a great song for concerts. One of my favorites on the album, it's that song you'll sing on the weekends right before going out. 5/5
8. Es Cierto (It's true)- I like the rhythm and lyrics though I, personally, get a little tired after a while of hearing the "es cierto que...". It's good, not great. Armando Avila's voice is pretty clear here, as in other songs...he should probably become the third band member for he is literally in every aspect of the band: production, writing, music: everything! 3/5
9. Te supieron a poco- They said this song was meant to sound like the album Flores de Alquiler: and it really does. It's like a continuation of "El sol no regresa". That's probably why I like it so much, it's La Quinta's sound all over: Mexican but still more pop rock....something that in this album they have forgotten about a little bit. It would be a single in Flores... or El mundo....but probably in Sin Frenos it will not be one...for they are looking for a new sound and they make it very clear on this album. 5/5
10. Quiereme Mucho (Love me a lot)- One word: experimentation. And the best part is that it actually works. This definitely is something completely new for La Quinta Estacion; it's a fresh sound mix of many rythms. It's fun, but it's not La Quinta. 4/5
11. Engañame (Decieve me)- This one is fairly similar to Recuerdame. I like it because it's powerful and Natalia's voice sounds great...but that's it, it doesn't move me that much. 3/5
12. Sin Salida (Without exit) - This is another song that sounds like Flores de Alquiler. It's fun and very La Quinta. I like it, but then again, this is the way I like La Quinta Estacion...without much experimentation with other sounds. 4/5

Overall it's a very good album: lyrics and sound. However, I believe there is no great ballad here, to say more, I believe there is no real ballad. There is no Algo Más, no Sueños Rotos, no Niña, no Perdicion but they wanted that. They wanted upbeat songs thinking more about the live concerts and I get it, they already have a stack of ballads they have to sing in concerts for they are well known. No concert can be of ballads only so I understand there point of view.

Also I believe this album takes the Mexican sound too far as I said earlier. I have always loved their mix but this time its too much. That's why I prefer the six songs that sound more traditionally la Quinta Estacion, that are mostly Angel's songs. There are a few experiments that work and I like them, but still I would prefer more songs like Flores... or El mundo...They were looking to innovate, and they did. I just hope next time they stay more on track to what, I believe, its there true sound.

Good Fresh Spanish Rock! Spanish Rock Really? Yup thats right!
Fantastically fresh sound coming from this band, whose singer is very talented and there is so much going on the instrements that you it is amazing. They are kind of fast and have a very unique style of rock for a spanish band. Excellent!
