  THE EAGLES - LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN
Review created: 21/06/08(updated 21/06/08)

Has the long wait for Frey and this ageing gang of West Coast harmonising rockers to get back to the studio and start producing been worth it? After receiving this double album for Fathers Day from my three beautiful daughters and playing it for a full week to and from work, I think the answer is yes.

The Eagles in their prime were great, true artist, always on top of the stack with breathtaking guitar work and finely crafted lyrics giving a unique commentary on the day. In this latest album both characteristics are clearly evident and close to their 70's best.

Long Road To Eden is a 10 minute commentary on 21st century US politics, conflict and cultural ignorance. The track is written from a front line Iraq soldier's view point. I didn't like this track at first, however, the more I played the more I appreciated. The contrasts between the US all consuming 'lifestyle' based economy against the historical and cultural importance of the Iraq region is stark and thought provoking. Long Road to Eden takes you through this argument in a 'Floydesque' Eagles style and could end up being the 'Hotel California' of this decade.

Overall the album is packed with great stuff, i particularly liked the lyrics in Frail Grasp On The Big Picture, this chops away at the over indulgence and myopic viewpoint of your average US turkey. Center of the Universe is also quite brilliant, a real treat for any Eagles fan - possibly the best track on the album.

Overall a great album, thanks Girls I Love it.
