No album from Santana could top or even match the musical perfection of their 1969-1971 period, but Amigos comes close. David Brown returns to play rock solid bass, and add the "Afro" back into Afro-cuban. Ndugu Chancler does a terrific job of playing drums and timbales at the same time. He's not as good as Michael Shrieve, but he did good nonetheless.
The album is really good, and it gets even better after each listen. Dance Sister Dance and Europa are the highlights of the album. Look Up (To See What's Coming Down) is a great song that resembles almost perfectly to the old Santana. Let Me is one of three "funk" flavored songs. This is actually not that bad of a song. It's actually pretty good if you listen to it a few times. Only one song in the whole album is bad, "Tell Me Are you Tired." This album could definetly do without it.
Overall, this album is the damn near closest you can get to the original Santana sound, only Abraxas Pool gets to the same level to the originals. Nevertheless, buy this album. You will not be dissappointed.
