Negative Positive
Title: Not all that he is.
Review: I remember way back when Santana was a band. There were actuall members of the group. Santana has, over the course of years, turned itself from a highly progressive and original band, to a solo guitarist who changes the line-up of the band way too often. Is there a Santana band anymore? Last time I checked, Carlos is the only one that comes out in commercials, liner notes, ads, photos, etc. This album is the third, and hopefully the last, in a series of Carlos Santana's collaborations with other artists. Only four, (FOUR!) songs out of the whole album is Santana by itself. The rest is Carlos Santana playing with other groups. The only good song (which is actually a mediocre song at best) is the first one, Hermes.Santana has often had albums in 3's. Their first 3, then the 3 jazz fusion albums, then the 3 "Back to Basics" albums (Amigos, Festival, and Moonflower). Hopefully, All That I Am is the end of a trilogy of commercial sell-out albums.
Is the review positive or negative?
