5.0 out of 5 stars 6 stars!, June 4, 2001

This is probably the band's most underrated work, and a great way to introduce new fans to Santana's music. From my point of view they don't put a foot wrong on this one: from the hard punch of 'Open Invitation' to the smooth caress of 'Stormy', the lyrical cleverness, compulsive bass, and vocal depth sustain a creation of genuine, unpretentious beauty.

Yes it's DIFFERENT from earlier material like Abraxas / Borboletta and nowhere does his guitar reach the same transcendental heights, nor does the music evoke the same unearthly, consciousness-expanding quality as elsewhere - but then this one was created to alternately energize and soothe, and that it does admirably well.

Don't miss out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Greg Walker makes this CD, January 7, 2005

The addition of Greg walker to the band was a welcome addition.
Alex Ligertwood was okay but I don't want Santana to sound like Journey. Greg Walker, in my opinion, is second only to Greg Rollie as a good fit to Santana. This CD doesn't set the world on fire but it wasn't meant to. It is very listenable and the remakes of the older songs are well done. They are songs I never thought I would see on a Santana album but when you can actually improve on Buddy Holly, Classics Four, and the Zombies then you've earned four stars in my book.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite Santanna CD, October 15, 1999

By 

Eric O. (Charlotte, NC) - See all my reviews

Inner Secrets has always been my favorite Santana CD. There is not clunker in the bunch. It may sound a little too polished in places but how can you refuse the power of "Open Invitation", "Well Alright", "One Chain" or "Dealer" - great tunes. The band definitely do not sound bored - well worth the small investment.
