Free Music Notes for End of InnocenceFree Music Review: Flooded With Emotions Hit: 4 Stars
When I first heard some of the tracks on this record, my feelings were,"Just what I needed. More bland pop music." However, time has definitely made me change my tune on this batch. These songs are all written with heavy emotion. Whereas the tone is quite sad and disillusional, it rings of many honest and true sentiments. New York Minute is the real gem here as anything can truly change in the blink of the eye. Heart Of The Matter has a captivating hook and Bruce Hornsby adds the right touches on the title track. The touching horn and keyboard arrangments really make Don Henley's music stand up when compared to his former band mates work. And his lyrics are so original and real that it balances out some of bland moments. This collection is definitely worthy of my respect.
Free Music Review: A collector's item. Hit: 4 Stars
Easily one of the best albums of the eighties,'The End of the Innocence'still shines brilliantly.Henley has one of the most recognizable voices in business and on this record he took his great songwriting skills to the limit;what makes this CD so great is not the star studded cast(Bruce Hornsby,Axl Rose,Wayne Shorter,to name a few)but rather the exceptional quality and maturity of the songs;they are utterly cinematic and compelling,e.g.'New York Minute',as if each one encompasses a novel-they also exude a certain timelesness making them sound fresh even today.Music like this is hard to come by!
Free Music Review: Great album Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this album when it came out, a friend of mine recommanded this one to me. I have to say that I still enjoy listening to it, every song a pleasure to listen to, no filler. Great from the beginning till the end. My favorite tracks are "The end of Innocence", "The last worthless evening", "New York minute" and "The heart of the matter". A very good addition to any cd collection.
Free Music Review: I liked it so much that I bought 2 cds without realizing it! Hit: 4 Stars
I bought this compact disc twice without realizing my error. I liked this compact disc and when it was in audio cassette. I love the songs like the Heart of the Matter, the unforgettable New York Minute, and the classic End of the Innocence. I didn't like Shangri-La but this compilation of Don Henley's hits are worth the price if you buy it once or twice. It's still worth hearing again.
Free Music Review: Warning: Adult Contemporary Ballad Zone Hit: 3 Stars
Not a bad album by any means. A little too "soft-rock" for my taste, though. Some of the songs just scream radio-sell-out to me. How can the former Eagles rocker go from classics like "Hotel California" to AC top-40 radio drivel like "Heart Of The Matter"? Once in a while I'll hear it on the soft-rock pop clunker stations. Perhaps we'll never know.
