I wanted it to be great. I'm a huge Eagles fan. I was waiting for this one
since early this year. The early buzz was that this got back to their roots
and it got me thinking this is going to be the Eagles greatest hits part
2. Well, it's NOT.

I'm so bored with this album. It is basically the equivalent of a "Chick
Flick" on cd. ooohh I love you baby, i'll never make you cry.

Oh man, it is so disappointing. I was expecting the great triple guitar
playing like on the early stuff and it's nowhere to be found. Just sappy
ballads and no musicianship.

As my friend calls it: "Nothing but radio cheese".
Chicks will love it. It's so "Fabulous!"

Just goes to show some bands (zztop comes to mind) can't even remember where
their roots are.

On the flip side I was watching an Aerosmith DVD where they went back to
their roots and it was really nice.

I'm also suprised that a number of the songs have vocal levels too low. I
can see Joe Walsh cuz his vocal is on the level of Keith Richards or Ringo
but even some Glen Frey vocals are just too low. Crazy....

I heard a tune from it on the radio and it sounded hot.
Well, like their older pop stuff. No stretch creatively
but very nice. Great vocals that cut through perfectly
on my car's radio.

Maybe they know something we don't?

Do you know which tune it was? Some vocals are fine in level. The problem
is that the songs are POP. All the buzz I heard said they were going back
to their country roots so I was ready for this Eagles Greatest Hits 2 and
got radio cheese.

probably due to multi stage compression that radio does.

I haven't heard any of the songs but without Don Felder, I'm highly
skeptical. Felder, though not an original member, was a huge part of the
sound of the Eagles songs that are favorites of mine. He's probably one of
the tastiest/most creative guitarists (and most underrated) out there.

My $0.02

He was one of the interview-ee's on a recent show I caught
on the documentary channel "The history of the Gibson guitar"
Interesting to hear him talk.

I would still have it but my DVR crashed. Dishnetwork sent us
another one at no charge but I lost allot of good stuff.

Maybe they will run it again. That reminds me, I need to inform
my new DVR to watch for it.

Watching Les Paul play left my jaw on the floor.

Ya, I saw Les Paul Monday night and he kicked booty.
Great band and a funny show. He's sporting the
dirty old man routine that works pretty well for him on stage.
Sounds like he's probably been that way since long before
he was old. Funny, witty and a great tasteful player still.

Well worth the $50 for a little more than an hour of music.
