Residente o Visitante arrives less than two years after Calle 13 busted out of reggaeton's oft-repetitive confines with its searing debut disc. But instead of playing it safe, the dynamic duo of Rene Perez and Eduardo Cabra fly further outside the safe zone. Residente o Visitante is dirtier and more diverse than its predecessor, typified by the jaw-dropping intro. It's a solemn chorus of voices simply repeating Spanish expletives. From there, the disc explores political struggle, carnal desire, and the trappings of fame--all anchored by Calle 13's razor-sharp sense of humor. Tango, lounge grooves, and cumbia rhythms collide with reggaeton in ways that shouldn't work, but do so wonderfully. The standout track "Mala Suerte Con el 13" is a dysfunctional duet with Mala Rodriguez that turns love-song cliches upside down--and slaps them on the behind. You'll need to take a shower after the first listen--and immediately put it on repeat. --Joey Guerra

Estos muchachos no van a trascender en el tiempo con esa forma tan explicita. Por ahora les funciona, vermos cuanto mas.
 Best release of the year...English or Spanish. June 4, 2007

If they knew that the follow up album would be so good, they would've given them 5 Grammy awards. This is what music should be. Most people sell out with their second release but Calle 13 have evolved. They made something that was great, greater. With that I'll say that this is not reggaeton, this is music.
Visitante's beats are really something else, well executed and extremely original. You have to be dead, in order to keep still while listening. Residente's lyrics are brutally honest and funny, there's nothing that escapes his imagination, a total mushroom trip.
Standout songs, even though you won't skip any of them, are :
"La Era De la Copiaera" I don't know who his lashing out at but it's beautifully hilarious.
"Me Voy pal Norte" Featuring Orishas, a harmonious union, between the two best talents, in the spanish speaking, urban music scene right now. Socially Conscious once again.
"Cumbia de los Aburridos" and "Uiyi Guaye" these are simply funny and great to dance to.
Don't miss this album...it'll be like missing your birthday.

Calle 13's newest album, Residente o Visitante is a huge step since their first self titled album. A little more darker, it is much more lyrically and politically focused. With collaborations from many artists, Calle 13 continues to break the mold for latin artists. Some upbeat, Reggaeton songs, and some slower songs that don't fall into the reggaeton category. All in all, an amazing CD that will awe you with it's inspiring beats.

WOW!!!!! I do have to say it. Exelent CD, A latin urban CD like no other. Lyrics are amazing, so poatics, full of sarcasm. Its like little stories. Residente have a great power when he signs... It so poetic as it is vulgar. They have some social content too. Pal' Norte its a call for freedom, a story about mexican inmigrants... great piece. Music is orgasmic.
 A real different cd May 4, 2007

This album is very different and great in beats but it's not as good as the first one. It doesnt have a real good reggaeton beat like Sandwich de Salchicha, Esto Va Suave or Atreve te te, (I dont know if those are the titles, but you get the idea). But overall is real good, cafre, sucio, mal hablao y malcriao but the lyrics are very original and different. You have to have a very open mind. But again he should have had more seductive reggaeton songs.
