Title: Disappointing, a lame version of Sly & the Family Stone
Product review: I'm a big fan of Santana, especially his more experimental stuff, and have seen him play live many times over the years. I was hoping Borboletta would be something like Caravanserai but it's not even close. Borboletta is full of very weak r&b type songs that are poorly written and dully executed. And on top of that, THERE'S NOT MUCH GUITAR PLAYING!!! By contrast, I think Caravanserai is one of the greatest albums ever recorded so I was very surprised at the wide gap in quality between these two albums that were done only a few years apart. I think there were substantial changes in band personnel (i.e., Gregg Rollie and Neal Schon departing, among others) and that probably did not help. Stick with Caravanserai, Lotus and Moonflower.
