As anyone who's listened to Santana for years, you'd know that Supernatural was just a marketing gimic and wasn't typical of Satana's true skills and style. However, I won't fault Carlos for it. He's been a working musician for nearly twice as long as I've been alive. If anyone deserves to put out something to generate sales and still put out a decent product, then it's him.

This is a compilation of early, classic Santana with some good jams on it. Just normal, rocking Santana.

I thought Santana was back on the radio for good when Supernatural came out, then I bought As The Years Go By. Being the follow up to the best latin guitarist ever's come back after seven years, I thought that this would be like Supernatural. It's not. It has latin music and that's it. Latin music is good, but notmy favorite kind of music. Supernatural had rock(Put Your Lights On, Smooth), RandB(Maria Maria), and even rap(Do You Like The Way), plus the usual latin music. Supernatural was good partly because of the guests, and As The Years Go By has no guests. As The Years Go By was OK, I guess, but I'd stick with Supernatural. I'd buy this if you like earlier Santana, before Supernatural, or if you like latin music, but not if you jumped on the Supernatural bandwagon. I've been a Santana fan for years, but Supernatural was his best effort and the follow up was nothing like it. Cop Supernatural instead.
