Carlos Santana Goodness

I have a song for you here, wait for it to load. it takes awhile.



This is Awesome.

Into The Night
Carlos Santana featuring Chad Kroeger from Nickelback



WHAT IS IT:

Into the night is a song. A song is an arrangement of musical notes played together, sometimes with accompanied by singing. Into the night is a song by Carlos Santana (Maria Maria; Just Feel Better), with Chad Kroeger (How You Remind Me; Rockstar). Into the Night is about... well, i don't know what its about, but the music video features a man about to jump off a roof when he sees a girl dancing. He falls for her immediately (yeah right) and starts to follow her like the creep he is. Eventually he follows her to a club where he watches her dance, and at the end they dance together. Meanwhile, on a completely unrelated topic, Kroeger and Santana play on the roof of a building. This song is the lead single for Santana's latest album, Ultimate Santana.



WHY ITS GREAT:

Santana plays another awesome solo. No questions asked, its great. Fits perfectly with the song, and the awesome melody, that goes great with Chad's trademark growl. Santana's playing style is strongly latin, and the fast-paced bongo thing fits perfectly with that. There is this awesome breakdown when santana's solo comes in, with the awesome wah-wahing. The whole song in general is the kind of song that stays in your head. (sing: Ay oh ay oh ay oh ay..)


WHY IT SUCKS:

It doesnt really have a climax point. Santana's solo is kick ass, but doesnt quite stand out. its kind of like alot of the same thing. this makes it seem like it goes by really quickly, and it doesnt make much of an impact. The song is probably best only for background music for a late-night party or something. Another thing. Does radio really need more Chad Kroeger? The song sounds like any Nickelback song you care to mention. Quote:
Into The Night will only sound fresh to those who have spent the past 6 years in a cave.


SHOULD YOU GET IT?

Yes. so maybe its not his best track, but since Ultimate Santana combines hits from his recent albums, as well as classics from his band at its prime, a compilation of the guitar master’s best work is a must for any pop fan without Santana's previous work in their collection. Even if you don't like the song, the other tracks in the album im sure you'll love, that is.. if you appreciate good guitar skills.



MY RATING:

When Carlos Santana originally hooked up with Nickelback's Chad Kroeger for 2002’s “Why Don’t You & I,” Kroeger’s voice was relatively new to radio, and Santana playing back up for superstar singers still seemed like a somewhat fresh concept. A dozen Nickelback hits and two similar Santana sets later, the new single “Into The Night” seems to be chock full worn out ideas, but a whole bunch of worn-out ideas can come together beautifully. This is a track that will linger in your playlist for a month or two.


SO WHERE CAN I GET IT?

I got mine from the states, so i don't know where you can get it here, but I'm sure CD stores like CD-Rama and Sembawang will have it. Its quite a big album for santana. again, as a last resort, im sure you can use e-bay.





and there you have it, Into The Night by Carlos Santana, Featuring Chad Kroeger from Nickelback. come back soon, i'm going to review Sweet Child of Mine, By Guns and Roses, a popular oldie.

Want some jam? We made it ourselves.

It was a good day at Tiet yesterday. we managed to completely learn one song and perform it. Here. this is the final copy. How You Remind Me, as made popular by: Nickelback. by this point, our vox has already mutilated his voicebox, so the quality is sub par. nah actually i think the whole song needs some work. but hey. its a good start eh? eh?





Its not on autoplay, so oyu have to hit play yourself. listen to it. its good.

anyway, tomorrow im gonna review Into The Night, by Santana feat. Chad Kroeger.


EDIT: lol, i was just asking our VOX about his singing, check this out.
