Title: "Game of Love" is the lamest Santana solo ever!
Review: OK. So you can downgrade my review b/c I haven't actually heard the whole CD, just the radio play of "Game of Love." I was trying hard to figure out who this guitar player was when I heard the song on the local Adult Contemporary station (I'm forced to listen to it on the vanpool). I was thinking, "Who is this self-important guitarist?"There's just this vibe on the song that the guitar is really important; I mean, how many pop songs have BIG guitar solos in them anymore? Not since the Eagles. :) Anyway, the guitar is featured in a big way, and Carlos totally blows it with this cheesy, uncreative, pentatonic nightmare. I guess you could call it Sanny G. He's capable of such soul, but doesn't show it here. It's painful to listen to.
Is the review positive or negative?
