Summary: Fabulous Stuff!
Comment: Never having been a big Carlos fan since the 70's, I'd forgotten how good he is! With the guests, new songs and the passionate performances here, this one is definitely 5 or maybe 6 stars in my book. Great mix and not too many returns to the sounds of the past. Sooper!

Summary: Great songs and sound quality, though DVD-surround mix was a bit slapdash
Comment: I was really looking forward to receiving this disc. Although I think he wails for a little too long in some of his solos, I have to admit Santana is one talented musician.
I won't go into each song individually as some reviewers have done here. I personally believe you already know the songs you're getting when you're buying in this format... perhaps you own the CD / have heard the songs before, and you want to hear it in a new light.
Well, overall the songs are great. They really are. Santana brought in great talent to accompany him, and I do NOT see it as a sell-out album, like some people have said here. True, this makes this album more "poppish" than previous works, but there are still many tracks that are true to his old style.
That said, I was expecting a little more from this DVD surround mix. The sound quality itself is great - something we demand from these type of discs. And you DO get the sense that you're being enveloped by sound better than the CD. But it's the mixing itself seems like it was lazily done. The rear channels weren't utilized for much more than accentuating the occasional piano track or reverb.
Would I still recommend this disc? Yes, I would. Would I recommend this format? I would, solely based on the fact that it sounds cleaner and crisper than the audio CD version. Just know that the "surround" that's being advertised is more from reverb than anything else.

Summary: santana going strong
Comment: Carlos Santana is a legend in the truest sense of the word . I am someone who listened to him in the sixties & am so pleased to see he is still going strong & appealing to a newer audience. More power to him !!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Santana - different sound, still great
Comment: Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3EOWQS8YXPR2C I've been a Santana fan since Woodstock but not through thick and thin, so I wasn't current when this album came out, but it really caught my ear and I like almost everything on it. It's one of my favorite albums overall. Santana from several eras is great for jumping rope to.

Summary: great album
Comment: if you like santana and have the hardware o play DVD audio then i would say go for it. i have several audio dvds and this is be far the most laid back in the surround channels, thats not to say its not there cause it is. its one of those albums you can just sit back close your eyes and enjoy without skipping tracks.

Editorial Reviews:

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-'90s-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, Rob Thomas, 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
