This disc has all of the essential Los Tigres del Norte classics. On La Garra de… album, Los Tigres del Norte have renewed their membership in the ‘if it ain’t broke…’ school of songwriting. Lead single “Pacas De A Kilo” and “La Segunda Carta” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Pacas De A Kilo and La Segunda Carta is really good.
Album opener La Segunda Carta is a bright, upbeat ditty. So much energy, so exciting a sound.Amigos Y Mujeres is exquisite work of Los Tigres del Norte. La Oferta good vocals. Leopoldo Rios is a song that definitely grows on you and becomes an album favorite. This song is dynamic and dramatic. Tumba Falsa is worth the money. In Manos Unidas full palet of sound is used by Los Tigres del Norte to accentuate the presentation. En Nombre De Tu Padre is a bit of a show-tune. Carino Donde Andaras - isn’t quite as powerful vocally, but has a beautiful melody. El Canelo is a medium tempo tune. This track is just a stunning masterpiece. Ya No Hagas Mas Sacrificios - This one makes me want to not only sing along.
