Revoluci?n de Amor

With 16 million total units in global sales (1999's MTV Unplugged has sold 3 million copies so far), four-time Grammy winners Man? are one of the biggest Latin rock bands around. Revoluci?n de Amor, the four-piece band's first studio album in five years, continues Man?'s ongoing dual interest in themes of love and social issues, and the band is masterful at packaging its potent messages in an accessible guitar-based sound. Hailing from Guadalajara, Mexico, Man? create an organic mix of classic rock, modern rock, and traditional Latin music that will appeal to fans of Santana and Rub?n Blades (both of whom make guest appearances here). But the band is also able to attract younger audiences thanks to punkier songs such as "Nada Que Perder," which could very easily break through on K-rock radio stations across the U.S. One of Man?'s best albums to date, Revoluci?n de Amor is proof positive that Latin rock can be accessible to a broad range of people who don't speak Spanish. --Tad Hendrickson
