    It's the hip-hop energy Mary J. Blige and OutKast's Big Boi bring to "My Man" that makes the most of the assembled talent by relying on musical inspiration rather than marquee power. [30 Oct 2005]

    Although none of the newcomers quite supply the killer touch, the flow of soft-rock shimmies and cowbell-driven R&B lives up to the guestlist's promise. [Dec 2005, p.156]

    Santana proves that even endless high-sustain soloing cannot heal the generically lame.

    I didn't bother buying Supernatural and never heard of Shaman. But when All That I Am came out I was hopeful it had gone back to the roots that made Santana great. It hadn't.

    Santana will never be the same after he starting having pop stars trail his band. Their old stuff is 50000x better than what it has been lately. There's no energy anymore, and all the actual Santana can get out of this is a 10 second solo each song. SOOO Lame IMO. And what the hell is up with Santana doing R&B? He needs to retire while he's ahead, and while he can still be considered a good artist. The only reason he's getting a few 10s is because the people that gave 10s have never heard what he used to be like. There wasn't Steven Tyler or Mary J. Blige or anything like that. Whatever happened to the pure originality that was once Santana??? It's gone. Maybe if he made another album of just his band, I will like him again. But the pop has to go.… Expand
