Title: It's A Work Of Art
Review: I've had a couple of weeks to listen and to digest Carlos' new album. Even though he hasn't released a new album in a few years the constant touring has kept us in contact with his new music and kept some of the classics fresh. As for Supernatural this album cooks on so many different levels. Yaleo is as good a song as Carlos has recorded in the last 20 years (and it absolutely smokes live). The combinations with Dave Matthews, Everlast and Rob Thomas are good examples of Carlos being able to take a commercial sound and make it his own and the track with Mana is great. My 14 year old daughter thinks Maria Maria is the best song on the album. The only dissapointing song is the collaboration with Clapton that just doesn't seem to go anywhere. I'm not sure if this will hold up in the long run with Abraxas and Caravanserai, but it is certainly one of the best albums this legend has recorded (and his best in 15 years). That alone should make it a must buy.
Is the review positive or negative?
