SANTANA 3

While the first two albums are super well known I rarely see people talk about the other classic era albums (exuding the more dedicated fans). This album was a huge surprise and it was quite a refreshing listen especially after listening to Abraxas so much in my life, I definitely think this album expands on the sound of the past two albums, the album opens with an instrumental track it could honestly be a heavy psych song if they turned up the fuzz a bit, the next song is a more traditional Latin Rock sounding song it reminds me a lot of WAR the song is a personal favorite of mine it starts off pretty normal before bursting into a Latin psych freak out, Toussaint L'Overture is another favorite of mine and kind off exemplifies the sound of the album, lots of bursting guitar solos and like I mentioned earlier psychedelic Latin freak outs. The track "Everybody's Everything" features bright sounding horns and amazing percussion throughout the track. I really do feel like this expands the sound of the last two albums really well, everything feels like there's more breathing room here and in my humble opinion is better then Abraxas (both albums are great of course)
