Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

There can barely be an Eagles fan on the face of the planet, after waiting patiently for the best part of 30 years--ignoring the piecemeal (and some might say mean-spirited) sprinkle of new songs on 1994’s Hell Freezes Over--that doesn’t crave every last minute of this epic stack of original work. But then there also hasn’t been a double album in history that couldn’t have been improved by shedding at least some of its load and tucking its jeans into its cowboy boots. Long Road out of Eden is no exception to that rule. Much of the first disc passes by in a shuffle of fairly standard, although admittedly enjoyable, mid-beat country-rock (see especially "Busy Being Fabulous") and the appearance of a drum machine on the second hints at a frankly unnecessary dalliance with 80s MOR pop--and one they’d already avoided by splitting the first time around. It’s music made by professionals, but lacking the classic, cinematic poise that has made Hotel California a mainstay on the best albums of all-time lists. But then the ambitious reach of the wind-swept, politically charged 10-minute title track really pulls things back, while the pleasant calypso drift of "It’s Your World Now", near a cappella melody waterfall of "No More Walks in the Wood" and moody blues swagger of "Somebody" prove there’s still just enough wind beneath these wings. --James Berry


CD Description

Six years in production, 'Long Road Out Of Eden' is the seventh studio album from country rock mainstays The Eagles. Recording began a full 22 years after the release of their previous opus with a tweaked line-up (following Don Felder's dismissal in 2001) and some instrumental augmentations. Lead single 'How Long' adheres to the musical templates the band is known for, but album tracks such as the ten-minute epic title track showcase the wider scope of earlier successes suchas 'Hotel California'. Eagerly anticipated by their ageing fanbase, 'Long Road Out Of Eden' is a worthy continuation ofthe Eagles story.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long but very enjoyable road out of Eden..., 11 Oct 2007
By Mr. William J. Lavin "Will" (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
When you think of the Eagles, you think of classic rock, you think of the open highway, and of course you think about 'Hotel California'. Add to these thoughts, 120 million album sales worldwide, four #1 U.S. singles and four Grammy Awards. These guys really are the stuff legends are made of.
Returning to the airwaves with their first full studio album in 28 years, Glen, Don, Joe and Timothy are offering their fans a taste of refreshing experimentation. While the group continue to belt out records full of emotion, with a power ballad-esque edge, they also take the opportunity to play with instruments and subject matters that they perhaps wouldn't have done before.
Other than greatest hits collections, the history of 2-disc sets has never been that solid - due mainly to the spreading of the album's better cuts amongst a mass of fillers. But with `Long Road Out Of Eden' there's no trouble of this happening. It's a solid effort from start to finish.
While disc one offers some atmospherically supple tracks with delicate instrumentation, it is in fact disc two that will hit the heads and hearts of Eagles fans everywhere. The album's title track offers a ten minute journey through some tantalizing woodwind and guitar playing, merged with an Arabic backdrop. Still on a softly -tinged tip, `Center Of The Universe' is a relaxing answer to a hard day at the office. Light vocals combined with some on-point production make the track a definite `one to watch'.
On the opening disc, tracks like `No More Walks In The Wood' and `I Don't Want To Hear Any More' continue to walk the same path as the other lightly-baked Eagles songs, but it's the upbeat energy heard on `Fast Company' and `Guilty Of The Crime' that lift the tempo of the album for a moment. With no reason to use the skip button, disc one is a good representation of where the Eagles and rock music in general should be.
While some of it sounds country and other parts play with the contemporary rock sound, `Long Road Out Of Eden' is a slice of good old fashion rock designed to get you up, lay you down and most certainly rekindle your love of feel-good music.

4.0 out of 5 stars Is it any good?, 2 Nov 2007
By Crazy Bald Heid "kennyb63" (Surrey, England) - See all my reviews
  
Well yes. Despite some really harsh reviews (especially from once good but now third rate lists mag Q), it really is pretty good. I feel however it is an album of two halves, the first disc is pretty much Eagles by numbers (most notably lead off single How Long), nicely delivered and produced but kind of predictable. Some Henley polemic about environment, economics and war (set aside the irony that this cd is distributed by bloated corporate leviathan Walmart in the good ol' US of A), some Frey rockers and a sweet tune from Schmidt. You have the full Eagles experience.

The second disc states its intention with the opening of the title track Long Road Out of Eden which is outstanding, it is the Eagles all grown up, a Henley epic being a thematic distant cousin to Hotel California's Last Resort. Frey (I think) plinks away on a nice Knopfleresque guitar instrumental (I Dreamed There was No War) and Joe Walsh does a great "Joe singing underwater through his nose" vocal on Last Good Time in Town. Throughout this package the performances are great, production warm and clear.

The second disc is more challenging and rewarding, a five star cd on its own, the first disc is two or three star material. For its money a good deal, two hours of prime Eagles, the Long Run it aint. Buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Wait Is Over, 12 Oct 2007
So,28 years,has it been worth the wait?Most definately yes.In their first return to the studio since 1979's the 'The Long Run',Don Henley,Glenn Frey,Joe Walsh & Timothy B. Schmit deliver an album that is epic in both it's scope & ambition.Across 21 tracks all the things that I loved about them are here.
From the classic accapella harmonies of the opener 'No More Walks In The Wood' to Joe Walsh's blistering guitar solo on the 10 minute title track you realise that it's the contributions of the four individuals that make them the band that they are.
Highlights are numerous - the aforementioned 'Long Road Out Of Eden' (which wouldn't have sounded out of place on Don Henley's last solo album 'Inside Job),'Lately (Last Good Time In Town) which is a showcase for Joe Walsh & grooves like Steely Dan, to the classic vocal interplay between Don & Glenn on 'How Long'.Not to be overshadowed Timothy B.Schmit delivers a gorgeous vocal on 'I Don't Want To Hear It Anymore.
Welcome back guys
