Title: Ugh... not again...
Review: Well, you knew it was coming, folks. After Santana's previous album "Supernatural" was released, Carlos finally got the recognition he deserved.But it came with a price.The idea for Supernatural and this latest release "Shaman" was to pair the guitar legend with pop stars of the day, much to the bitter dissapointment from his lifetime fans. Gone were the 15 minute solos. Gone was the fresh originality that had been put into every previous album. And in it's place were catchy 3 minute singles that may have turned teenyboppers on, but left his aforementioned lifetime fans with a bitter taste in their mouth.And here we go again...So by all means, if you're just beginning to get intrested in Santana, skip this release and go straight to where it matters... I of course am talking about Carlos' first 3 albums with Columbia as well as the "Essential" 2-disc set just released by Columbia/Legacy a few weeks ago.Thanks for your time! SEE YA!
