Music reviews of Long Road Out of Eden
Music Review: If It's The End Of The Road, It's A Great End
Rating: 5 Stars
Perhaps more than any other single band in rock and roll history, even the Beatles, the Eagles have been through some very cataclysmic changes--not unlike the L.A. landscape that gave them their start and their inspiration. In the 70s, they were both a fans' favorite and a favorite whipping boy for the critics (especially those at Rolling Stone). In 1980, long-simmering dissensions exploded out and caused the group to dissolve (or so drummer and lead vocalist Don Henley thought, when he commented the only way the band would get back together would be "when Hell freezes over."). In 1994-95, hell indeed did freeze over, and the Eagles got back together. But it still took an enormous amount of time before they released another collection of all-new material; and in that time, they canned longtime guitarist Don Felder, who had been with the band since 1974. Finally in 2007, after twenty-eight years, they finally gave us LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN.
And much like what had happened with Elvis in 1969, the Eagles each individually had so much they wanted to get out there in front of the public that LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN became a 2-CD, 90-minute epic. Everything the band and its individual members were known for is encompassed here, with Joe Walsh's laconic attitude taking flight on "Guilty Of The Crime" and "Last Good Time In Town"; bassist Timothy Schmit doing his thing on "I Don't Want To Hear Anymore" and "Do Something"; Glenn Frey's emotional heat dominating on "No More Cloudy Days" and "What Do I Do With My Heart?"; and Henley's sociological force being kicked up a notch on the ten-and-a-half minute epic title track, and "Business As Usual." The band does go back into its distant past with "How Long", written by their close compatriot J.D. Souther in 1972, but only ever done onstage by the band up until this point. Longtime session man Steuart Smith steps in for Felder on LONG ROAD; and the band's country-rock roots are also accentuated by the occasional pedal steel work of Greg Leisz, whose credits include, among others, the 1999 Linda Ronstadt/Emmylou Harris collaboration WESTERN WALL. And on the closing "It's Your World Now", the band not only pauses to pass on what they've learned to another generation, but, in its Mariachi-tinged arrangement, they seem to pay homage to Linda and her Mexican-American roots, given that they originally formed around the Arizona-born songstress in 1971.
If indeed this 2-CD opus is the absolute final word on this group of Desperados, then it really has been a most interesting, albeit also turbulent, ride. Much like the Beatles and the Beach Boys, the Eagles are a band that has often been duplicated in musical style, but never matched in terms of emotional impact; and LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN may very well seal the deal for keeps now.
Description of Long Road Out of Eden
Import double vinyl LP pressing of The Eagles' chart-topping 2007 reunion album. Universal.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
