Free Music Notes for End of Innocence
Free Music Review: Don Henley is a tiresome kvetch!
Hit: 1 Stars
If you want to encounter a textbook example of the "Hollywood Left" in all its absurd contradictions and vanity, go no further than this album. On the one hand Henley rails against corporate greed, Reagan, and America's sins, while on the other, he strikes a careful fashion pose on the record jacket, cigarette in hand! The entire record preens and struts this multi-millionaire's moral superiority without a shred of irony concerning exactly who it is who's lecturing us. Undeniably, Henley has his share of talent, particularly as a singer. He chooses good collaborators to give his more popular songs a distinct sound, i.e. the Bruce Hornsby piano chord pattern echoing thru End of the Innocence. But it is ultimately shallow and uninspired. Henley wants to be Bob Dylan, but in the end he's closer to Barry "Eve of Destruction" McGuire.Free Music Review: Was he really a member of the Eagles...
Hit: 1 Stars
Together with the other guys in Eagles, Don Henley assured his immortal place in rock history. I wonder - how can a man who was a part of something so great as the Eagles release such a [bad] bunch of songs? I just don't get it! I owned this album for many years but when it was time to "weed out" my cd collection I decided that this one have to go. But before I sold it, I wanted to record the best songs from it, but I must admit that I couldn't find a single song I really like. So, now it's gone, and I have not missed it for even a split second!Free Music Review: Where is the Don Henley of 'A New York Minute'?
Hit: 1 Stars
This was a very disappointing purchase. I was looking forward to hearing well crafted and insightful lyrics and melodies, but instead received tired, bored and didactical rants. I listened through the first few tracks, and then tired and bored myself by the tiredness and boredom of the performer, I rifled through the rest in the hope of finding something of interest. There was nought, and CD, cover and all were tossed in to the rubbish. Sorry. If possible I would have rated this only half a star - for effort.
