|  Found this to be a total disappointment, I didn't expect a total return to form but this was just so underwhelming and pretentious but the second half gets better. I think it's just the parts were greater than the sum, not to mention the production is tough on the ears. I long for Fusion Santana or the Santana from the first three albums at least. Now the Afro-Latin sexual swagger is too Viagra induced to be believable, a couple more hours of this and I'd have to see a doctor... | |

| Bummer! I was hoping that it would be more like the first four albums and less like the one with "smooth" on it. | |

I really don't feel the energy, creativity or even originality of the classic or Fusion era. They just sound tired but what I do like is that Schon seems to be showcased a lot more than he was on Santana III or Caravanserai. | |
