The English-language Oral Fixation Vol. 2 finds Shakira reclaiming some of the bite she showcased on 1998's smashing Donde Estan Los Ladrones? The Colombian rock goddess is making up for lost time: this is her second disc of new material in 2005. It's quite a feat, considering the four-year gap since Laundry Service, her scattershot, English-language debut album. Oral Fixation Vol. 2 is more mature and better focused than the spin-cycle pop of that 2001 disc. Kick-off track "How Do You Do" starts with a haunting reading of "The Lord's Prayer" before launching into a risky questioning of faith and religion. Shakira touches on the highs and lows of celebrity on a trio of tracks--the bittersweet "Your Embrace," the guitar-driven "Costume Makes the Clown," and the disco-fied, politically charged "Timor." Selfish men and failed relationships--two oft-mentioned topics of interest--anchor much of Oral Fixation Vol. 2. First single "Don't Bother" is a bitter ode to strength, jealousy, and survival; "Dreams for Plans" is a wistful collage of relationship memories; and Carlos Santana slides a sexy guitar riff under soulful standout track "Illegal." The purple haze of Prince hangs over "Animal City," one of the disc's most inventive moments. It's a free-wheeling melange of rock riffs, electronic accents, mariachi horns and confident vocals. Two songs from Fijacion Oral Vol. 1 make appearances--the somber "Something" and "The Day and the Time," which improves greatly upon its Spanish counterpart. Vol. 1, while at times enjoyable, was a portrait of a gifted artist struggling to keep her footing and retain her confidence. Oral Fixation Vol. 2 finds Shakira embracing the eclectic beauty within. It's a wonderful sound. --Joey Guerra

 Good CD March 19, 2010
S. Tyrrell
I like this CD especially the song "Hips don't lie." That's mainly why I bought it but the other songs are also good. I would suggest owning this CD.
 Total Satification December 19, 2009
Buddie J. Aubrey (TORRANCE, CA, US)
As with all of Shakira's CD's they are loaded with good cuts, no
marginal fillers. Great CD.
 So disappointing June 13, 2009
C. Caldwell (USA)
I bought the cd because I loved "Hips Don't Lie", and I was hoping for the rest of the cd to be in the same vein-a good beat that you can dance to. Timor and La Tortura are pretty good, but the rest of it is really bland pop-could have come from anybody.
Another Shakira Triumph June 5, 2009
A. J. Wetzel (Maryland)
This is the second CD I have purchased by Shakira who is a phenomenal artist. I love the mix of Arabic and Latino rhythms. Her words are thought provoking on a lot of the songs. I recommend this product for anyone who wishes to be introducted to her work or to an existing fan.
Great purchase July 24, 2008
