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.

| I'm an Eagles fan from long ago. I'm enjoying this CD. It's nice to see that they have evolved and write lyrics to reflect on who they've become, not who they used to be. |

| More of a blues twist compared to eagles older music but still a must buy for eagles fans especially the older generation./ |

Although I am a fan of 'classic' Eagles music, I found their new CD to be almost as enjoyable. The harmonizing of Don Henley and Glen Frey is never amiss. This CD brings in a taste of a more contemporary sound every so often. The title track is wonderful.
So much, so different. Several songs give you the impression that they have travelled from their early years of hard living to becoming earthy-crunchy bark eaters. All in all, a great CD as would be expected from such a seasoned group. If you're looking for the Eagles you used to know you might be a little disappointed, but if you're looking for a little change on an old favorite, you've found your CD. |

| This suberb audio CD is the culmination of the first studio project by The Eagles in almost 30yrs. It's amazing that The Eagles are still popular after more than 30yrs of recording and performing, especially since they don't debase their professionalism by smoke, fireworks, and hippity hoppity choreography. Don Henley and Glenn Frey are task masters by demanding near perfect adherence to the music score and vocal harmonies. This album is a Must for any Eagles fan. My personal favorite cuts are "Do Something", "I don't want to hear any more", "Waiting in the weeds" along with their new standard "Busy being fabulous". |
