I have listened to Santana for 20+ years and I have always respected his search for his own tone and style. I have not always liked everything that he has put out. He is usually at his best when he is trying to please  himself, not some record company A&R man. Supernatural is an excellent  album. Every song is a winner. I have heard some negative comments about  his collaborations. They are all excellent especially Put Your Lights On -  with Everlast, and Corazon Espinado with Mana. Carlos continues to make his  own mark on the world of music. I have turned many people, who usually do  not listen to latin music or even Santana music for that mattter, on to  this album. If there is a 5 star album this year, this is it.
