"As a real Mana fan I can tell you this is enjoyable. However being objective I find it very hard to recommend this. Mana has become a product venture for the music company. Just look at the track record.
Since the last live album 1994's "Mana en Vivo". Mana has had 10 cd releases. 4 original material cds; 5 CD versions of greatest hits and 1 Unplugged. This cd will have been a lot better if they applied live material from their last 14 years of original material. A third of the songs for this live album has been done in Vivo. What happen to Corazon Espinado or Angel de Amor. This would have been better if it was a live 2CD set with the latest material (95-87). Instead they rely on nostalgia. The two new songs are not that great either; One is a remake of a song from Marco Antonio Soliz which is a pretty good remake and the other original song was probably a left over from the recording sessions of their recent album. No new ground broken here. I would recommend to get the DVD "MANA ACCESSO TOTAL " to see the full experience of MANA live."

Fun to watch and listen, Great Music, could have been better

"The track listing is wrong, the new bonus songs are not on the video.

Actual Track Listing:
1. Dejame Entrar
2. Manda Una Senal
3. Labios Compartidos
4. Bendita tu Luz
5. Vivir Sin Aire
6. Donde Jugaran Los Ninos
7. Mariposa Traicionera
8. El Rey
9. No ha Parado de Llover
10. El Muelle de San Blas
11. Rayando el Sol
12. Clavado en un Bar

The good:
Mana is awesome, need I say more? This is a great collection of Mana's greatest hits. I especially like the version of Reyando El Sol.

Things that could have been better:
1. Only three songs from Amar es Combatir with most of the songs from previous albums and therefore with live versions available elsewhere.
2. NO subtitles. I don't speak spanish very well so I Loved it how on Acceso Total I was able to watch it with Spanish subtitles (to help me learn the words better) and with English subtitles (to help me figure out what it all means). None of that here.
3. No bonus materal at all. This is just songs from the conert."

WOW !!!! better than ever

"


Before buying this c.d, I seriously doubted it would not even come close to the momentum of EN VIVO; their 1st live c.d back in the mid 90's. I was very wrong. Do not ever doubt MANA. Their enthusiasm for their music comes out loud and clear. The vocals are great; the sound quality is great; the drumming, the vocals; DAMN!!! The only complaint I have is the setlist. I wished they would have played more songs in this concert live c.d. They have so many more classic songs they could've performed."

Needs more songs...

"Don't get me wrong here..I think Mana is 1 of the best bands in the world; however, i'm so sick of record companys releasing these cd/dvd albums and cutting the fans short on the # of songs from the concert...The album and the songs are great, but i was anxious to hear some of the newer songs live and didn't get the chance on this album...Some yes, but what about "Tu me Salvaste", "Relax", Ojala que podria borrarte", etc.....Even older songs, like "Hechicera" and "Un lobo por tu amor".....

I love Mana's music and always will, but to the record companys..PLEASE DON'T CUT THE FANS SHORT!!!

The 2 new songs on the album are classic Mana...These guys just put out hit after hit....

What about Alex's drum solo as well or Sergio's guitar solo?"
