Los Lonely Boys have an impressive sound, on CD or in concert. Sound will never be a problem for this group, but although Forgiven is well executed technically, Los Lonely Boys have been doing the same song over and over for years. If you have listened to three of their songs, you have heard them all. This CD is no different. It's the same usual rock/pop with a few Latin touches in the Santana style. It's good that the group has a signature sound, but it doesn't mean that it's alright to make the same album time and again. Should Los Lonely Boys adventure to perform other genres, they will surely have an impact, as they did when they first came out, but Forgiven is a forgettable album. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol  ) Aqui tiene a un grupo que suena espectacular ya sea en disco o en concierto, ese nunca sera su problema. Pero a pesar de que en Forgiven tecnicamente esta bien ejecutado Los Lonely Boys llevan anos haciendo la misma cancion una y otra vez, si ha escuchado tres canciones de ellos ya lo ha escuchado todo, este disco no es diferente, presenta el mismo rock pop de siempre con toquecitos latinos al estilo Santana. Es admirable que el grupo tenga un sonido que los caracteriza, pero eso no quiere decir que deban hacer el mismo disco una y otra vez. Si Los Lonely Boys se aventuraran a tocar otros generos seguramente sorprenderian como lo hicieron cuando salieron originalmente. Es un disco muy olvidable. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol )

 Technical sophistication with the warmth of old friends July 1, 2008

The new Los Lonely Boys CD was released today and I give it a very big two thumbs up! This new CD is the most technically-sophisticated music Los Hermanos Garza have released and this is keeping in mind that they set the bar very high with their first CD in 2004. They just keep getting better! Henry and the Fender Stratt were made for each other. The amazing vocals never become lost in the music. These are voices which stand out as musical instruments in their own right and the Garzas have a lot to say with their music. It is about life and family and struggles and overcoming, but it is great, feel-good music. Dr. John was credited on four tracks and his gentle influence comes through but in a way which surprised me. The tracks on which he performed are not "Dr. John" tracks. He added his smooth spice but became part of the songs, rather than the other way around. This is part of the overall musical sophistication I see throughout this CD. My favourite track? This moment it is "Loving You Always" for the upbeat ritmo and the outstanding lyrics but by evening, I will have more favourites. "Make It Better" is already working on me in a major way. Value for money? I consider this CD to be worth (easily) twice the price. This is not one to listen to once and toss in a corner. This will be on my playlist for a very long time. Enjoy! Gracias, amigos Tejanos!
3rd Times a Charm July 2, 2008

It seems like everytime is the charm with Los Lonely Boys,they again do not disappoint and rather rise yet another notch towards musical greatness. This album sounds like band of gypsies meets SRV live at el mocambo.. killer guitar throughout , much more jammin and heavy songs on this album than their first two. A definite evolution and awesome in my opinion.

After listening to the new CD, I can't get enough of them. Like the albums before, this one will not disappoint. I love all the songs, some more than others. But I especially love the title track "Forgiven", "Heart won't tell a lie" and "Superman". They continue to churn out some great songs. Love Them!!!
Five Stars! It grooves and it rocks! July 2, 2008

I just heard this new release by Los Lonely Boys and I love it! It has a live sound to it- feels like you are right there at one of their concerts. The lead vocals and harmonies work great on all the songs. The signature guitar riffs are there- for all you fans of lead guitarist Henry! This is a CD that is very enjoyable- the kind you will listen to while driving in your car or BBQing in your backyard. It reminds me of their first CD, but with a more mature and fuller sound. Favorites: Forgiven, Heart Won't Tell A Lie, I'm a Man, Superman.
A return to form for LLB July 2, 2008

This CD is more like the first LLB record, which is the best effort by the Garza brothers. "Sacred" had a depressing feeling to it and wasnt as good at what LLB do best. And what they do best is soulful blues with harmony. "Forgiven" is a well written and performed album. It does have a more bluesy feel then the last record. My only real complaint is that most of the songs are under 4 minutes.
These guys are truly some of the most gifted musicians on the planet.
BUY FORGIVEN!!!!
