Well... what do you think? My english is poor... I think I'm a good writer in Spanish, but write in English is too difficult for me. I'd like verbalizing that I can say in spanish about an album, but... I don't know how is the result.
 
And... What about my review's contents?
 
thanks

You're doing fine Marcos.

Some of your expressions can be amusing in English ("Raconteur, Troubador": a strange song. It has many condiments like the complete album.*****), but that is part of their character.
 
The paragraph spacing would be improved if you used <p> to start a new paragraph, without any further spacing.

Thanks Easy Livin...

Sometimes I fall in direct translations from Spanish to English. The example that you cite is a common expression in Spanish... Embarrassed.

Is it the same word as in English, which means salt and pepper etc.? I wonder if perhaps you were looking for "components"?

Is the same word. Well... the expression is a metaphor. The meaning is the same if I say 'components'

I've read your review of The Yes Album as I haven't heard many of the other albums. I can't see anything much wrong with it, your English seems pretty good to me.

I think the correct translation would be: it has many different flavors.
