Album Description
Import double vinyl LP pressing of The Eagles' chart-topping 2007 reunion album. Universal.
Amazon.com
What a long, strange wait it's been. Don Felder has left, a generation has grown into adulthood, and at long last, Eagles return with a new studio album, their first since 1979's The Long Run. Given the interim, though, fans couldn't possibly have asked for more. The two-disc, 20-track Long Road Out of Eden not only retains the entire menu of the Eagles' staple sounds--effortless, multi-part harmonies; colorful, if not intricate, guitar embellishment; meticulously crafted songwriting; squeaky-clean, almost geriatric production--but many of these songs also viscerally recall past hits from Eagles' or the extant members' solo records. Like revenant doubles, "Frail Grasp on the Big Picture" echoes "Life in the Fast Lane," "How Long" channels "Take It Easy," the guitar arpeggio threading through "Center of the Universe" hints at the ubiquitous "Hotel California," and "Business As Usual" could have been culled from the cutting room floor from Don Henley's The End of the Innocence. The effect of all this familiarity is one of masterfully crafted self-tribute with one eye riveted on posterity, calculated to please both the deep-pocketed who can still afford the Eagles' concerts and those who'd given up on ever hearing new material again. --Jason Kirk

 Far From Classic Eagles November 28, 2008
Long Road Out Of Eden is an album the Eagles may as well not released. It is far from "classic Eagles". The best song on the disc is "Busy Being Fabulous" which is also the closest to the Eagles style, though more the flavor of a Don Henley single. Timothy Schmitt is good on "I Don't Want To Hear Any More", but the rest of the set is pretty much like a "tamed down, ready to retire Eagles sound" in my opinion. This is far far from the "Hotel California" days. If you buy it with expectations based on past Eagles songs, you will be disappointed.
This got 30 one star reviews!?! Unbelievable! November 9, 2008

You can't go back in time. People and music change and you can't listen to an all new 2 CD set by one of the greatest bands ever and expect it to be Hotel California. It's just not gonna happen. All the members of the Eagles went their seperate ways for years and pursued solo projects to varying degrees of succes(most notably Henley) and then reunited for Hell Freezes Over and had recorded a small amount of new material between that and this album. Many of the songs on these 2 cds sound like they could have been recorded in the Eagles heyday while others sound distinctly like the members solo works from years past. This is not a bad thing in my opinion.
My favorites from this album would have to be "No More Walks in the Woods" based on the lyrics of a poem written by J. Hollander, "How Long", "I Don't Want to Hear Any More", and "Do Something".
In conclusion, I feel this 2 cd set could be somewhat better but compared to all the crap music being produced by other artists these days, this set is solid gold.
 AS GOOD AS EVER October 27, 2008
Seems amazing to me the Eagles are as good as ever after all these years. I see lotsa people running down this album, but don't forget its hard to compare something thats new with something thats been burned into your memory on every type of radio station for over 30 years. If this album came out in 1976 you would know half the songs by heart by now. This is a top notch album, though not as rocky as some of their early stuff. If you like them as individual singer songwriters you will love this album. Great singing, harmonies, construction and just plain ole fun. I dont know why its only available at Wal-Mart but who cares. Theres not many people making music this good for adults these days, buy it and enjoy. Only $12 for a double album to boot !!

Don't expect to hear the old Eagles edge October 12, 2008

I have been an Eagles fan since they first came out. This is a good album, but it isn't great. Don't expect the same edge and punch as in their '70s work. This is a softer, gentler Eagles, and I was disappointed. It is a keeper, and I will play it, but not as much as their original works.
