Editorial Review:
Where Are The Thieves? is arguably the finest and most essential album that she recorded in the 1990s. The 2 bonus tracks are different versions of 'Ciega, Sordomuda' (12 Inch Full Mix & Radio Edit).
Description of Dónde Están los Ladrones?:
Rock-pop dance queen Shakira from Colombia is back with a sophomore album that pretty much mines the same field as her debut, with predictably similar sounds. "Ciega, Sordamuda" has the same urgent dance beat reminiscent of "Estoy Aquí," the monster club hit from her debut, Pies Descalzos. The singer/songwriter, whose whispery, quavering vocals sound like a cross between Alanis Morrisette and Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries, wrote or cowrote all 11 tracks. Surprisingly, considering that noted producer ace Emilio Estefan is at the helm here, there is very little variance here from her debut. The tunes are mostly either rock-edged dance numbers or reflective melancholy ballads; the best include the echoey "Tú" and the meandering "Sombra de Ti." --Ramiro Burr
Dónde Están los Ladrones? Reviews:
Shakira at her best 
2008-02-03 - In my opinion, this is Shakira's best album by far.
The album is an amazing work of art. The composition is beautiful, the lyrics are original and moving, and Shakira's voice is superb.
One of the best latin rock/pop albums of all time.
Todos sus discos son buenos, pero este es el mejor!
2007-02-10 - Todo lo que esta nena saca al mercado es bueno... personalmente este es el mejor disco de Shakira hasta el momento, aunque no he escuchado muy bien los oral fixation. Shakira es una verdadera artista ya que ella misma compone sus canciones. En este disco realmente se expresa muy bien, las letras y la música son espectaculares. Realmente lo recomiendo.
Las mejores canciones del disco son:
Ciega Sordomuda
Inevitable
Tu
Moscas en la casa
Old School
2006-10-19 - This is one of Shakira's best albums. The songs on here are really energetic and uplifting. I love them all, but the songs No creo and Octavio Dia sound much better on her MTV Unplugged album. Besides that, I recommend it, especially if your'e looking for old school Shakira.
Her Best
2006-10-19 - Very melodic and upbeat; She sings with and incredible passion and range here; Her vocals have never sounded more powerful. The CD is very well produced, while each song offers(for the most part)something different. I love the combination of traditional instruments w/techno beats, the layers of horns and background vocals; I'm not a huge fan of her material after this album aside from a song here or there. But this is one of those albums I can play front to back, no problem.
Shakira at her absolute best!!!
2006-08-01 - Where do I begin? This has to be Shakira's absolute best CD and probably her greatest effort. I bought this after hearing "Octavo Dia" a while back and desired to get a taste. This was the first Shakira album I ever bought and I have never gone back since. I fell instantly in love, and it requires no skipping ahead. In fact, next to "Pies Descalzos", this is probably the only album by anyone that I can actually stand hearing without moving ahead to hear other songs. Of course, I could easily pick favorites, such as the rocking tunes of "Si Te Vas" and "Dónde Están los Ladrones?", and the slightly softer "Inevitable" - which was probably the first Shakira song I ever heard. Another one of the best ones found here is the Arabic-inspired "Ojos Asi" of her Lebanese side, which I actually never listened to until a bit after I got the album...but yet another amazement. If only there was some way to give this a 5.5/5 I would.
