Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
The Arista debut of Carlos Santana and band gives fans of the soulful guitar vet two albums in one, but it's a decidedly good-news, bad-news proposition. First, there's a fine collection of late-1990s-model Santana--tastefully tooled songs driven by Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms ("[Da Le] Taleo", "Africa Bamba", "Migra", "Primavera" and the emotionally charged instrumental "El Farol") that allow Carlos plenty of elbowroom for his passionate soloing. Then there's the collection of tracks featuring a lineup of de rigueur alternative and hip-hop stars, including Dave Matthews, Everlast, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Eagle Eye Cherry. To their credit, Matthews ("Love of My Life") and Eagle Eye Cherry ("Wishing It Was") muster enough chemistry to make the fusion work. But the rest of the collaborations feel like an unnecessary stretch to reach out to a younger demographic that El Jefe has little trouble attracting on his own terms. --Jerry McCulley

This is pop-trash. Buy the old stuff.,
By H Bates (wilton, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supernatural (Audio CD)
This album finds a once great guitarist trying to find an audience with the wrong people. He wrongly aimed for the pop-trash, MTV, radio-play bulls**t. I believe that he may still be a great guitarist and might be able play excellent music, but this CD doesn't support that. If you want hardcore Santana: Santana 1, Abraxas, Santana 3, Caravanserai, and Love Devotion Surrender (with virtuoso John McClaughlin) are highly recommended. But those who disagree with me can keep jerking-off to their Britney Spears s**t and never know what great music is.

Wonderful....,
By VaNessa "NaturalNess" (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supernatural (Audio CD)
This album is like an ice cold glass of lemonade on a warm summer day, absolutely refreshing. There is not one song on this album that I did not like, which is very rare. Usually when you purchase an album, it will only consist of 4 good songs, or 5 tops. Not the case with this one! Every song is beautifully composed and orchestrated by Santana himself, and wonderfully sung by his guest artists. Supernatural is worth every penny, and now I see why it won Santana over 5 grammy awards. If you like Santana's music, I guarantee you'll love this album. I also recommend Shaman, by Santana.

Supernatural,
By Mike Chadwick (Gdynia,Poland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Supernatural (Audio CD)
Hearing "Smooth" for the first time i didn't knew that it is santana's track.when i heard it thought that he has gone so much commerical.but really "Supernatural" is not a bad album.Eventhough it is far from epic "Abraxas" and it brings a lot of modern r and b flavour, Santana created pleasent music for evenings with friends,for listening in car or for listening whenever you want to.some great guitar parts will even make the "Cheesiness" of Wyclef Jean's appearance go away.if oyu like Santana and modern pop music then try this one.if all pop songs would sound like that i would be in sevent heaven
