AMG Review of Juan Manuel
Christian Hoard
All Music GuideAs they did on Aquamosh, Plastilina Mosh took a kitchen sink approach to recording Juan Manuel: There's a bit of everything to be found here, from the disco-funk of "Boombox Baby" to the son-derived swagger of "Tiki Fiesta" to the sloppy garage rock of "Nordic Laser." So far as the record's pastiche-like form is concerned, Beck and Beastie Boys are their two most obvious forbears, but these guys are their own postmodernists, Latin playboys who favor a trendier, less song-oriented sort of electro-hip-hop. Juan Manuel isn't Plastilina Mosh's Odelay, but it shows these studio auteurs doing what they do best: pounding out trčs-cool sonic hodgepodge.
