Shaman is the latest release from Santana, and I can only think of one word to describe this CD... AWESOME!
This CD literally grabs your attention right from the beginning with Adouma and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song Novus, which is another great track by the way.
The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Rock isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.
Listen to this CD and I believe you'll find there's not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you'll enjoy this album.
While this entire album is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 1 - Adouma, track 7 - Victory Is Won, and track 16 - Novus.
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 8 - Since Supernatural. Wow!
