    The foursome has still not found a common sound to call its own.

    The pop hooks are there, but we can't shake the feeling that the sentiments come off as phony.

    But even as Santana's magic fingers sometimes struggle for a common thread here, they still do plenty of good work.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    This album tends to lean more toward the psychedelic ballads, which slows down the action a little too much.
    • 55 Metascore

    Her voice is still in fine shape, but tracks like "Fallen" and "Drifting" are so mild-mannered you have to wonder if anyone will even notice she's back.

    While [Linda's] death hangs over much of Driving Rain, Macca's knack for taking a sad song and making it better means tracks like "Lonely Road," "It Must Have Been Magic," "Your Way" and "Back in the Sunshine" are redemption songs, not exercises in self-pity.

    She doesn't quite act her age on teen beat-driven single "Whatchulookinat," but she makes up for it with a series of R&B standards and diva-worthy ballads that hit most of the right notes.

    Unfortunately, this straightforward approach also reveals how straight-up dull Mann's country-tinged songs can be.
    • 64 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    It lacks the raw energy and tunes that made people want to hum uncontrollably in the shower. Worse yet, the brazen confidence the Gallagher brothers displayed during the early years has faded.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    The Day After sounds like something we've heard before.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    When he gets it right, the rich grooves and soulful voices can be sublime, like early '70s Curtis Mayfield or Sly and the Family Stone.

    Subtítulo... is not without its charms, but it borders on easy listening at times.

    On "Waiting on the World to Change," Mayer breathily imagines a world where frat boys get off their couches and have people sign petitions. Sigh. A little more of that and less of noodley songs like "Vultures" and "Gravity" would have been a good step toward reminding us who Mayer really is.
