Title: No big surprise
Review: After listening to this cd,I found it no different than other Santana cd's over the past 20 years, other than the parade of headliners.In truth, when Tom Coster left the band,Santana's weakness in composing was sorely exposed, and we got an endless series of surupy, uninspired pop music.I believe Carlos' intentions are sincere,but extremely naive about the power of music to transform lives.However, we are living in decadent times with nothing really to inspire people. I believe he has missed the point that art inspires, not juvenile lyrics or gimmicks.Carlos needs to get back to that premise, and what he has learned from Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and John Coltrane, for they will not be forgotten.
Is the review positive or negative?
