Review - :
Buying time while she preps a follow-up to 2001's {^Laundry Service}, {$Shakira} released the CD/DVD combo {^Live & Off the Record} in the spring of 2004. This is standard practice for her -- between each of her studio albums, she's released collections of remixes or live material. One of those, 2000's {^Unplugged}, was excellent, capturing the diva on the rise and revealing another side of her musical personality. In contrast, {^Live & Off the Record} doesn't offer any such revelations -- it captures the big-budget spectacular of her stadium shows. As such, the DVD is preferable to the CD, since it has it all: the light shows, a 90-minute program that's close to a full concert, and, of course, footage of {$Shakira} herself, singing, playing guitar, and dancing, all of which is worthwhile for hardcore fans. On record, this same material, cut from 15 songs to ten, is enjoyable -- more so than other live albums from {\dance-pop} divas, since {$Shakira} sings live and the arrangements are longer and occasionally different than their studio versions -- but it's not as absorbing as the visual experience. Overall, it's not bad and it will surely be of interest to hardcore fans -- who themselves will be the only ones who have the patience to sit through the hourlong documentary on the DVD, filled with footage of {$Shakira} touring the world and doing such fun things as blowing bubbles, getting massages, and being serenaded by a {\mariachi} band -- but it's ultimately not much more than a stopgap release between original albums. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
