Eagles - The Very Best Of
: :This packed double-disc is the slim option for fans who find the Eagles' vaunted greatest hits sets too little and the boxed set too hefty. Hit singles large and medium are here, often ('One of These Nights,' 'Hotel California') still sounding definitive and even tough. Large helpings of favorite album cuts are also included, along with a taster from a promised 2004 Eagles studio reunion. Unfortunately, 'Hole in the World,' Don Henley's response to September 11, feels just as empty ...

Essential Leonard Cohen
: :This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 1960s songcraft of 'Suzanne' and 'Bird on a Wire,' the 'folksinger' tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan drollery of 'Tower of Song' and 'Everybody Knows' to the apocalyptic anthemry of 'First We Take ...
