At best, Supernatural is mediocre. It has some good moments....especially Maria Maria. However, it failed to mesmerise me and so many others have claimed. Carlos Santana has been much heralded as a genius and "living  legend". However, all he has done is "resurrected" his  fledging career by producing a commercial record he knew would sell. His  past records barely made an impact on any charts. Those albums did NOT  include collaberations. The credit for Supernatural goes to the artists he  worked with. The guitar work done by Carlos, any established guitarist can  do. Even so, the actual songs are nothing special. "Smooth" has  been killed to death by radio and has become downright annoying. "Put  your lights on" is the MOST BORING song i've ever heard!. "Maria  Maria" is the only shining light. Significantly its an R&B/Hip hop  song which is the complete antithesis of Santana's usual sound. In essence,  don't waste your money on this CD. It has been grossly overrated and is, to  tell you the truth, quite boring.
