Underrated!

Once in a while, a truly great record (or band) doesn’t grab you at first listen. You play it, let it rest, listen a couple more times and POW! It hits you like a bus! This is one of those. Sure, it follows a similar formula as many of their records; a cumbia, norteño, blues, rockers, a splash of soul… but they push it to new heights here and thus attain a new cruising altitude. Gates of Gold showcases their craftsmanship. This album is deep, complex, subtly psychedelic and really opens up when you listen. Try it with headphones on a lazy afternoon and your favorite relaxant. You’ll get it!
Best band in america

So good, so very good. What a band. One foot in blues, one foot in pop, heads in some mystic place where music speaks universally
Missing the Early Pop/Rock Sensibilities

I’m glad they have been following their muse in recent years, but I really, REALLY miss the spontaneity and confident rock/pop sensibilities of the early albums. Those albums are essential. Sorry, the later works are not. They need to stop overthinking it, go into the studio and bang out a fun, catchy album.

They never get old! Still as good as they've ever been. One of the most original and talented bands ever.
The guys always surprise

‘Too Small Heart’—tell me it doesn’t evoke Hendrix and underrated blue-eyed Motowners, Rare Earth. It’s dead on.
What is this?

Creativity unlimited. Signature changes with offbeat rhythms that keep us wanting more. No other band in the history of R&B R&R BLUES. TEX ME. LATIN ROCK and more , Los Lobos cannot and obviously will not be musically boxed in. Stay healthy and God Bless Los Lobos. BUY THIS ALBUM NOW!!
Classic Lobos

Sonically beautiful with complex storytelling. Other than U2, what other band is still putting out this caliber of music after so many years?
