I think I might like Apropa't better if it didn't just sound so much like Stereolab with Spanish lyrics. I mean, yeah, it's technically good, and very well produced, but it's just a little boring to me. Maybe I just haven't been in the right headspace when I've been listening. Driving to work with it at 7:00AM probably isn't the best environment to really appreciate it. That said, I really love Track 8, Um Girassol, etc... That one really sticks out. Very pop.
