Santana - Milagro
I will return to Amazon !. I love the album and I love the price I got it for and the quality of the item.


Decent album
Most of the songs are decent but nothing truly stands out with the exception of the beautiful ballad "Somewhere in Heaven. Milagro is a decent album from Santana, but not as strong as his early albums or as strong as the multi-Grammy winning Supernatural album. " This track shows plenty of emotion with its slow intro and its long jamming instrumental break before closing at its beginning tempo. Carlos Santana's playing really shines on this track as well as Chester Thompson's keyboard solo. The band also does a decent version of Marvin Gaye's "Right On. " Other decent tracks include "Life Is For Living" and "Agua Que Va Caer". "Make Somebody Happy" is an okay song, but sounds weak compared to the live version on the Sacred Fire album. The instrumentals that close the album are alright but don't touch the ones from the early albums. A decent album, but only "Somewhere In Heaven" is on par with their best work.


A beautifully played and recorded album
This is a GORGEOUS sounding album, with the nuances of each instrument very well presented, and yet, like the Red Sea parting for Moses, when Carlos makes another entrance, they all part way. I'll keep this short, as most of the others here have stated their case pretty eloquently. There are a couple weak moments here ("Life is for Living" and "Free All The People"), but how do you make statements like this without sounding trite?
Focus on the truly spectacular music ("Somewhere in Heaven", "Right On") and the incredible interplay with Carlos and Chester Thompson (keyboards). There's a great spectrum of music here, from the soul and rock of those numbers, to the jazz of "Red Prophet" to the intense Latin music workout "Aqua. . . ".
Take note that the only negative review to this album was by someone who didn't even hear it, only heard the samples provided. Sort of like saying "The Godfather" was a lame movie cuz you saw the trailer.


This is a damn fine collection of work.
After checking out some of the reviews here at Amazon, I decided to give it a try. This is the CD I've heard the least about. This really is a great collection. I'm a fan of Santana's early work,Abraxas,III,Caravanserai,Live With Buddy Miles,and the early 1980's release,Zebop. Santana plays with fire again on Milagro. All the distinctive qualities one attributes to Santana are found on Milagro. I'll even go so far as to declare this as possibly his best work since the early seventies. Yes, Milagro is even better in my opinion than Zebop. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.


This CD is a must!!!
I loved it so much I had to buy it on cd! Each song is crafted with a mix of jazz, rock and the signature sound of Carlos! There are plenty of guitar solos and words from people who have inspired him at the intro of many song. I had this on cassette since it came out. THIS IS A MUST for Santana fans or somebody who just appreciates good music!.
