| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | | The Arista debut of Carlos Santana and band gives fans of the soulful guitar vet two albums in one, but it's a decidedly good-news, bad-news proposition. First, there's a fine collection of late-1990s-model Santana--tastefully tooled songs driven by Latin jazz and Afro-Cuban rhythms ("[Da Le] Taleo", "Africa Bamba", "Migra", "Primavera" and the emotionally charged instrumental "El Farol") that allow Carlos plenty of elbowroom for his passionate soloing. Then there's the collection of tracks featuring a lineup of de rigueur alternative and hip-hop stars, including Dave Matthews, Everlast, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Eagle Eye Cherry. To their credit, Matthews ("Love of My Life") and Eagle Eye Cherry ("Wishing It Was") muster enough chemistry to make the fusion work. But the rest of the collaborations feel like an unnecessary stretch to reach out to a younger demographic that El Jefe has little trouble attracting on his own terms. --Jerry McCulley | | | | The Arista debut of Carlos Santana and band gives fans of the soulful guitar vet two albums in one, but it's a decidedly good-news, bad-news proposition.

Après avoir enflammé le début des années 70 en fusionnant le rock et les rythmes latins en public à Woodstock ou sur de mythiques albums comme Abraxas et III avant de se passionner pour le jazz rock dont Love, Devotion, Surrender en hommage à Coltrane est un des fleurons, Carlos Santana connaît un long passage à vide émaillé de disques moyens qui s'achève par un come-back aussi inespéré qu'inattendu avec le remarquable Supernatural. L'engouement pour Cuba et l'ascension au sommet des charts internationaux de Compay Segundo comme le succès du film "Buena Vista Social Club" y sont certainement pour quelque chose dans le retour de cet exceptionnel guitariste. Même s'il n'est pas un des pionniers du son cubain mais un des vulgarisateurs de sa fusion à d'autres sauces non moins épicées, ses rythmes latins sont convaincants et son honnêteté, indéniable. Point d'opportunisme dans sa démarche : Carlos Santana est habité par sa musique et la joie qui s'en dégage encore en 1999 est...supernaturelle ! À n'en pas douter, elle vous collera des fourmis dans les jambes ! --Philippe Robert | |

| | This has to be the best CD ever. I listen to it ALL the time & never tire of it. Brilliant work!
| | | One of the best albums I have EVER heard, probably the best that I own. No matter how long its been since I last heard it, I can put it in my CD player and get right back into the groove of the songs. Smooth is just amazing, Maria Maria has a great urban feel, and the collabos with Everlast, Dave Matthews, and Eric Clapton really work well. I remember when I saw him perform at Jones Beach three summers ago -- this music was great then and its just as good now.
| | | | I've been a Santana fan ever since I was turned on to them in 1984 and consider Carlos & Co (and the various permutations of the band) one of my all-time favorite atrists. I was disappointed with SUPERNATURAL from the moment I listened to it. There is little on this album that is not re-manufactured pop, and it in no way highlights the exceptional musicianship or band interplay that Santana is known for. Songs like "Maria, Maria" and "Turn Your Lights On" are about as far from the classic Santana sound as one can get, and the entire collection of songs has the tired "let's-try-to-write-a-hit-single-and-make-some-big-money" kind of feel. If you are seeking Santana at their pop best, check out "Zebop" or Beyond Appearances" instead. If you want Santana at their very best, buy the first three albums and the "LOTUS" live album as each of these four are masterpieces. Avoid SUPERNATURAL.
| | | This album is like an ice cold glass of lemonade on a warm summer day, absolutely refreshing. There is not one song on this album that I did not like, which is very rare. Usually when you purchase an album, it will only consist of 4 good songs, or 5 tops. Not the case with this one! Every song is beautifully composed and orchestrated by Santana himself, and wonderfully sung by his guest artists. Supernatural is worth every penny, and now I see why it won Santana over 5 grammy awards. If you like Santana's music, I guarantee you'll love this album. I also recommend Shaman, by Santana.
| | | Hearing "Smooth" for the first time i didn't knew that it is santana's track.when i heard it thought that he has gone so much commerical.but really "Supernatural" is not a bad album.Eventhough it is far from epic "Abraxas" and it brings a lot of modern r and b flavour, Santana created pleasent music for evenings with friends,for listening in car or for listening whenever you want to.some great guitar parts will even make the "Cheesiness" of Wyclef Jean's appearance go away.
if oyu like Santana and modern pop music then try this one.if all pop songs would sound like that i would be in sevent heaven
