Negative Positive
Title: Ah...horrible.
Review: Santana is a very limited guitarist on the face of it. True, the pentatonic scale sounds very guitar heroish coming from his ornate Paul Reed Smith, but the whole amounts to something very sophomoric and immature.The songs on the record, all written by other guys, are mediocre at best. Clive Davis put together a nice package, commissioning songwriters when needed (and that's quite often) and producers to tailor the sound to the frail and one-dimensional ears of the typical Top 40 listener and the typical Grammy voter.But what are you going to do? Santana's new record SUPERNATURAL has put him where he apparently wants to be: next to Limp Bizkit, Britney Spears, N Sync and the rest of 'em on the charts: seemingly diverse in sound, but horrifyingly homogenous in mentality.
Is the review positive or negative?
