-
May 14, 2023Some are very good, shakira was so inspired that; I'm excited to see it here but it didn't influence me well, therefore I will listen to a few, not all
-
Dec 4, 2022Definitely one of my favorite albums of her! My favorite songs are: How Do You Do, Hips Don't Lie, Animal City, Don't Bother, Hey You, Costume Makes The Clown, and Timor.
-
Nov 25, 2021Another great album by Shakira, her voice is amazing again and the lyrics are too
-
Nov 25, 2021Another classic album by Shakira, so many great songs here - Hips Don't Lie is iconic!
-
Nov 24, 2021Another amazing english album from Shakira, Hips Don't Lie is an anthem and the other tracks are amazing as well

Jan 10, 2020Un buen álbum de principio a fin, las versiones en inglés de 2 canciones de su anterior álbum son muy buenas, Shakira se logró consagrar como una pop star internacional.
-
Nov 2, 2019Lyrical masterpieces! By this album I believe Shakira really found her pen in English! Love!
-
Jul 27, 2019Una perfecta mezcla de sonidos, un álbum que muestra la versatilidad musical de Shakira, Generos como el Rock, el pop, el reggaeton y la cumbia presentes en un mismo álbum.

May 27, 2017Certainly one of her best album (my fav from her), the mix of sounds and instruments makes it unique, lyrically proves this is a Shakira's album.
there's mature, honesty in every song and the album is fully enjoyable, it will remain as one of her best works and one of the best albums of 2005 (if it's not the best).
There's no artist out there who makes music like Shakira does -
May 30, 2016El mejor album en ingles de Shakira, variedad de ritmos y letras, Y ademas de que tiene su Hit Hips Don't Lie, MIS FAVORITAS....TODAS, no me podria decidir
-
Sep 24, 2014Her best english album and probably one of the best female pop/rock album of all time. favorite tracks? Costume Makes The Clown, Timor, Animal City, Don't Bother, Illegal, How Do You Do, Hey You, Your Embrace, Dreams For Plans, Something, The Day and the time and Hips Don't Lie... uh oh... all of them!
-
Aug 26, 2013It's Shakira. Of course "Oral Fixation Vol. 2" is great, but it isn't as good as some of Shakira's other albums. The best songs are "Hips Don't Lie" (of course), and "Animal City".
-
joeysJun 13, 2008Fulfilling album that's even better than its predecessor.
-
-
PedroRAug 2, 2007I love her rock voice she is amazing, and the songs of the album are great!
-
-
WolfApr 18, 2007I love Shakira! I am a big fan! Her voice is the best in the world; she makes you feel all warm inside! She also has a define talent for writing lyrics. 'Don't Bother' is the best, and not even to talk about 'Hips don't lie'... cause they don't...
-
-
RimasMJan 11, 2007The best CD of the year! And of course after the re-release with Hips don't lie (the far biggest single of 2006) it got much more better!

SilvioPNov 9, 2006From Mexico: lustrativo, ella explota cada parte de su vida y la convierte en buena musica, a veces sencilla. No tan bueno como Vol 1, pero brilla.

rensSep 9, 2006beautiful

-
JasianTAug 16, 2006Shakira's best work in the U.S. so far since she first came here with Laundry Service.
-
-
DaveLJul 27, 2006Shakira, you have the worst voice Ive ever heard! You ought to be ashamed of yourself selling your body/soul for money and setting a horrble example to young ladies!
-
-
bobwJul 27, 2006Shakira isn't even considered a singer in my books, in fact thats a disgrace to music to even categorize her as a musician!!!! They had to use so much auto-tune on her voice that she sounds like Kermit the frog! Maybe when she is no longer the flavour of the day she can get a job at Sesame street doing voice overs for Kermit! You don't fool us Shakira!!!

TomásMMar 22, 2006Hello guys, I´m from Argentina, and we know Shakira since her third album "Pies descalzos" (1995). In Latinoamerica everybody loves her, and her succes in the rest of the world makes us very happy. This album is great, cuz she is returning to her roots. She can´t be compared with other artists, Shakira is absolutely unique.
-
-
NathanCMar 12, 2006There's nothing better out there. Shakira has so much talent. The Botero of music.
-
-
AmberMFeb 24, 2006This album was amazing, just like her others including Fijacion Oral Vol.1. People say that she sounds like a man and that they cannot understand her English. That is completely and inaccurate statement in my opinion. Her English is fluent (Trust me, I know. I read everything), and she does not sound like a man. Shakira has talent, and most people can see that. El album es my bueno!

-
argelvFeb 13, 2006i really think shakira deserves everything she has got. this album is awesome... your embrace and timor are such geat songs. my favorite: hey you...
-
-
DiegoKFeb 11, 2006It's wonderful.
-
-
davemFeb 9, 2006i have to say this is my favourite album so far this year. oral fijacion 1 was an excellent array of songs and this complements it perfectly, especially the excelent How Do You and Timor. she's like a latin kate bush and there's nothing wrong with that.

JoelSDec 25, 2005This is album is Shakira's best ! seriously is like listening to Donde estan los ladrones? but in English, i have to admit that i miss the Laundry service sound!, but Oral Fixation Vol. 2 is more mature and honest, Shakira proves that she is more than a booty shaker. I personally recomend this album to everyone, is one of the years' best !
-
-
LukeDDec 23, 2005Her voice is annoying! It's like listening to a goat sing

RodrigoRDec 20, 2005The best pop album of the year!!, People, this is a great CD, especially for a person that speak english for only 5 years, so is impressive the quality of this cd that is produced and writen by a real woman who put all her emotions and feelings in make an exellent album

-
MattDec 7, 2005Some songs show a lack of ideas (drawing from Santana, Alanis, Petula Clark, and Cyndi Lauper on various songs,) but there are enough high points to make this CD worth buying.

dianacDec 5, 2005is a great album!! I love it!!
-
-
DavidCDec 5, 2005I absolutely love this album!! It's far superior to Laundy Service and is somewhat reminiscent to what Donde estan los ladrones had. Unlike other pop stars, Shakira can be self analytic, but can also be effectively socially conscience. Only downside, both translations aren't as flowy as their spanish counterparts. This is the best pop album of the year!

Other artists may be bigger than Shakira while others may make more fully realized albums, but as of 2005, no other pop artist attempts as much and achieves as much as Shakira, as this often enthralling album proves.

Oral Fixation Vol. 2 finds Shakira reclaiming some of the bite she showcased on 1998's smashing Donde Estan Los Ladrones?

BillboardA wonderful disc. [3 Dec 2005]
