I bought this album solely on hearing the Michelle Branch contribution. Other than that song, and track #6 and #10, this album is largely a walk-through for Carlos Santana.And what's up with Placido Domingo?? I can't help but get the feeling that Santana's ego is starting to get the better of him. If I hear one more contributor to a Santana album sing "Caaarloooos SaaaaanTANA," I'm going to cut the disk in half. Lyrics shouldn't be about the performer allowing others to idolize him, should they? Maybe I'm just senstive that way.I've tried hard to like it. I just can't. It's not horrible. But it's close.
