Negative Positive
Title: A few gems in otherwise sapped out vein
Review: This album is a mixed bag. Four tunes (Yaleo, Love of My Life, African Bamba and Smooth) are exceptional and worth the price of the album. However, I found the other tracks to be very uninspired and lacking in the powerful but tightly controlled energy which generally hallmarks Santana's music and performances. They are not bad from a technical perspective, but they don't really groove.
Is the review positive or negative?
