Los Dug Dug's - Cambia, Cambia (LP RCA Cams - 726 - 1975)
Tercer trabajo de la banda mexicana de Rock Los Dug Dug's.
Este disco fue otro cambio dentro del sonido y letras del grupo, aquí el grupo explora un sonido "Popero" y las baladas estilo Bread, y las letras sobre Amor, desamor, situaciones personales, romanticismo etc. Dejando letras Anti-Drogas como Smog, letras sobre lecciones de comporamiento como Cual es tu Nombre? o letras de viajes espirituales como Voy hacia el Cielo (Voy hacia el Sol), por letras cursis y románticas, las cuales se destacan en este disco.
Para muchos fans de la banda fue una situación parecida a la de la Revolución de Emiliano Zapata, debido a que este último grupo cambió su sonido Psicodélico por las baladas y el Pop, al igual Los Dug Dugs, cambiaron su sonido Rock Progresivo/Psicodélico/Pesado del Smog o su sonido Pop/Rock psicodélico de su primer disco por las baladas y el Pop (Aunque algunas canciones comoFelicidad, Tímido, Cambia Cambia y Brillo de Sol siguen siendo psicodélicas), pero aún así, este disco es excelente, aquí se encuentran canciones con sonidos adelantados a su época, como lo son Ya te Dejé (No Volveré) y No, sí, tú, yo, ya, las cuales ya suenan a Rock Alternativo de los 80's y 90's.
