Hell Freezes Over

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Indeed, there were many who thought that it would take an event as cataclysmic as the one described in the album title to get these seminal '70s soft-rockers back together. But here they are, revisiting some of their most beloved tunes as well as four new ones, on this mostly live, largely acoustic disc. Frey, Henley, Walsh, Schmit, and Felder tackle iconic Eagles standards like "Hotel California," "Tequila Sunrise," "Take It Easy," "Desperado," and "Life in the Fast Lane" and new tunes like "Get Over It" and "Love Will Keep Us Alive" with the smoothly cocky assurance that originally made them icons. --Scott Schinder

NOT ALL CD PLAYERS CAN PLAY THIS!.......2007-03-20

Imagine my disappointment when I ordered this highly praised CD, only to read on the case: "REQUIRES a DTS-Capable Playback System." I have three excellent music systems throughout my house, and not one is "DTS-Capable." I had to return the product. Note that nowhere in the description does it indicate that this CD can't be played on all systems.

Glenn Frey.......2007-02-13

"The Eagles will get back together, when hell freezes over!" (Glenn Frey,
circa 1982). Well, as we all know the Eagles did get back together in 1994 (recording 4 new songs), but twelve years later they still haven't released a new album. All we've been given, since they reformed, is a total of 7 new songs, two of which are only available on a live dvd, and one they didn't even write themselves (the mediocre "Love Will Keep Us Alive"). The only worthwhile contributions have been the country song "The Girl From Yesterday" and the country-ish "No More Cloudy Days" (dvd), both written by Glenn Frey. Come on, Glenn, quit these deadbeats and go to Nashville - record that wonderful country album you were always meant to do!

The Eagles Big Comeback.......2007-02-09

After 14 years apart The Eagles got back together in 1994 to record 4 new tracks and perform in concert for a TV special. "Hell Freezes Over" is the result of this project and in my opinion this is a must own for any fan of The Eagles. 3 of the 4 new songs are great ones. Don Henley's "Get Over It" is a great rocker and pretty much sums up my philosophy on life. Tim Schmit's "Love Will Keep Us Alive" is a rather average song, but it is brought to a higher level by Schmit's unique vocal style. No one cans sing songs like this quite like him. Glenn Frey's "The Girl From Yesterday" harkens back to the bands early country rock roots, and is a good tune with great lyrics. The other new track "Learn To Be Still" by Henley does not do a lot for me. The live section of the album is solid from start to finish. In fact I would say that this material blows the "Eagles Live" album from 1980 out of the water. The recording is pristine and the performances just about perfect. The band does an all acoustic version of Hotel California that incorporates a nice twist on the original song. My all time favorite Eagles song "The Last Resort" is majestic and even better than the studio version, and serves as the crowning moment on the album. "Tequila Sunrise", "Wasted Time", "Pretty Maids All In A Row", "I Can't Tell You Why", "Take It Easy", "In The City", "Life In The Fast Lane", and "Desperado" all appear here and all sound great. Don Henley's solo hit "New York Minute" is also included. This album would serve as a fine introduction to anyone looking to explore The Eagles. It also proved that the band was back in a big way. They have continued to tour on a fairly regular basis ever since.

Great service.......2007-01-05

DVD is great and I recommend this to anyone who loves the Eagles. I would recommend this seller.

Real to Life.......2006-12-28

I love this CD! Everything they sing about is so true to life. It's a great arrangement of songs.

Product Description

After The James Gang and before Rocky Mountain Way, Joe Walsh moved to Colorado and formed a short-lived group called Barnstorm with bassist Kenny Passarelli and drummer Joe Vitale. The result is this remarkable and intriguing 1972 album most often referred to as Walshs debut solo effort. What it truly is, though, is a richly textured acoustic/electric album that ebbs and flows with sounds and segues ranging from spooky to sweet, plaintive to psychedelic, from melodically enticing to ballbusting organ-guitar crunch rock. Its less than 40 minutes in length, but by its end the listener feels like he/she has been taken on a musical adventure of the best kind. The album didnt produce any hits per se, but charted in the Top 100, gave the world the first version of Turn To Stone, and resulted in a uniquely barnstorming national tour, wherein Joe Walsh reconfirmed if there ever was any doubt - his stature as a premiere musician. Joe Walsh next hit with Rocky Mountain Way and in 1975 added his unique energy to The Eagles, but this landmark early album is as good as anything the rocker did before or since. 1. Here We Go 2.

"Creative" editing ruins this CD.......2006-05-16

This is one of my favorite records, and I've been trying for years to get it on CD. I have the original vinyl, but those Dunhill pressings were never much good. So, I was very happy to see that the record was reissued on CD. Unfortunately, there's some tape hiss, but most distressing, track 3, "One and One" has been edited to fade out with a long pause between it and the next tune "Giant Bohemoth". On the original vinyl, these two tunes seque into each with no fadeout of any kind. The edit on the reissue totally disrupts the "flow" of the album. Very, very disappointing.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE******************
Apparently this reissue was initially released using a set of incorrectly marked master tapes. The reissuing company has now found the correct masters, have cut a new digital remaster and is now circulating the corrected issue of this record.

Absolutely terrible sound quality!.......2006-04-15

I'm not sure which edition Wayne Klein is referring to in his review but it certainly wasn't this one. As noted by another reviewer, Hip-O Select completely dropped the ball on this one, using the wrong master tapes to produce this CD. It is LOADED with tape hiss, so much so that I could not get through the entire disc before turning it off. I have been in touch with Hip-O's parent company (Universal) and they acknowledged the mistake, saying that a vastly improved edition with the correct master tapes will soon be in stores, but after nearly a year it has yet to appear and when it does the consumer may not be able to distinguish between the two editions. It's hard to understand a mistake like this not being caught before production. But it's worse that a company would allow unsuspecting consumers to buy this garbage and then not rectify the matter after all this time. Great music, bad business practice. I'm keeping my vinyl!

Classic Walsh album finally available on CD again.......2006-03-13

Atmospheric and fascinating Joe Walsh's Barnstorm (aptly named)brought forth this terrific album after Walsh left the James Gang. Everything from the inspired opener "Here We Go" to the unusual "Birdcall Morning". From the instrumental "Giant Bohemoth" which slides right into the stunning "Mother Says" the album doesn't miss a beat.

The biggest song here "Turn to Stone" would show up again in a slightly inferior version on "So What?" but the original primordial monster is here. Featuring crunchy a guitar lick and a stunning guitar solo Walsh never got this experimental again. The album closes out with the acoustic guitar/haronica driven "Comin' Down" which provides a tranquil close to a magical album.

Like the 2005 Japanese re-release the magical sound qualty of the original recording has been retained. This is, in fact, the best the album has ever sounded (although honestly I can't compare it to the original Mobile Fidelity release since I never had it but have had the other import versions). Walsh never got better as a songwriter than here (although he came close with another couple of strong albums such as "The Smoker You Drink, the Player You Get"). A marvelous reissue, this classic album only lacks bonus tracks and outtakes which would have made this classy package complete.

Next To Capital Punishment It's The Best Latino L.P........2000-10-09

It's no Capital Punishment, but then again what is. Butter beats with Frost's slow flow fit perfectly. Many smooth crusing type tracks with a couple of gangsta gems aswell. I consider an album classic when it has at least 10 good songs, which this album has, definatley pick this up. This was his last album on Rap-a-Lot, now that he's on Celeb-Entertainment his work isn't nearly as good as it was. Also check out out "Smile Now Die Later" released two years before to this one.

A Great Production.......2000-04-22

This album is one of Frost's best. It seems that he puts a better album everytime and that his genius grows with time. The production of this album is better than good , but not great. The album starts off with a bang, but then as you get past the 13th song it starts to loose creativity. The lyrics though don't have the same result. Every song was thoughtfully written and that makes up for some of the weak productions at the end. In this album Frost seems to strand away from the barrio life and tries to concentrate on spiritually and the soul, but there are a couple songs that do show his rough side. Overall I recommend this album to his fans and those that want to get to know him better and see what all the hype is about.

This album is good and i recommend it to all the lowriders........1999-03-19

This album is very good. Especially songs 1,3,4,10,and 13. This rapper has been rising since his first single "La Raza". Frost likes to speak to his listeners on his songs. He always is rapping about everday life in L.A. and how it really is out there. Just like he said on his song "these stories have to be told" from his album "east side story".

It starts off great, then tails off a little.......1998-08-24

This CD is great.tarts off with a bang. Songs 1,2,4, and 5 are wonderful, but then it tails off.

Product Description

A great classic album from Latin rap vet, Frost, and due to poor marketing and distribution, this album has been slept on for too long. It may be an oldie, but pick up a copy of this dope album anyway, and you'll be happy that you gave it a chance. The grimey West Coast flows and beats take you back to the better days of L.A. gangsta rap, making this an important addition to any hip hop fan's collection! Features appearances from pimp daddy Ice-T, and Domino of "Sweet Potato Pie" and "Getto Jam" fame in the early 1990's, just to name a couple. Being one of the few releases on Eazy-E's label, Ruthless Records, also makes this a hot album to have, so get it now, you won't be disappointed. [14 Tracks] [Clean Version]
