Product reviewsHotel California (Hybrid-Sacd) by Eagles (Super Audio CD (SACD), 2011)

Excellent multi track CD

I don’t give reviews, but I will make the exception. Being a fan of multi track CDs, and having a collection of them this is a great representation of the format. The separation of instruments is superb in my opinion. A great listening experience an homage to a great album.Read full review...

I don't think the SACD is much closer to the master than the Red Book CD

I have been playing the CD for years and know it well. Im not sure the SACD is any closer to the master than the CD. The content, lyrically and musically is - erudite and exquisite, a perfect SACD candidate - so i would recommend - only if you don't already have the CD. If you have been listening to mp3s or streaming - i think you will find the body of the music improved here. New Kid in Town and Last Resort standouts on this format. Best!Read full review...

Best Version of Hotel California, Period.

I have the original first pressing album, the new vinyl version, the first cd version and this Sacd. The Sacd blows all the others away. I love vinyl, but this cd is by far the best version of this album, hands down. Clear, rich, heard so many things I have never heard before. The Last Resort was particularly impressive. It actually brought tears to my eyes. Every song on this album is great, but this Sacd just makes them... I do not know how to explain, just give it a listen. One note, ADJUST YOUR BASS , it is a bit heavier and up front on this version, but well worth the tweaking.Read full review...

Stunning multichannel SACD

Amazing, rich, detailed and logical surround mix for Hotel California. Vocals stay centered across the front and center channels, guitars and drums also, with guitars in the rear channels at times for effect, and the surrounds are used very well for strings, background vocals, impact, flourishes, etc. The stereo mix is a little bright for my taste, especially the lead guitars. But still a very solid mastering. Can't recommend highly enough if you enjoy surround sound music...Read full review...

A no brainer to own

There is little doubt about this being one of the greatest rock albums ever. The music is something that lulls you into it's magic. The vocals are always clear, with meaning that makes you see the scene. And then there is the recording itself. That is what I listen for most. With a good sound system you will hear more in the details and background than you remembered from the first few times you heard it on vinyl. That's because equipment and technology have gotten better, but just as importantly, this was transcribed the way all older music should have been. No one one was in a hurry here to get this out 'quick and dirty'. Rather, as much information as possible was given to the CD. For me, that is where it paid off the most. This is one great recording.Read full review...

Eagles - Hotel California SACD

I've listened to this album at least a thousand times and never has it sounded as good as it does on this Super Audio CD.

The sound quality here outshines every CD version I own (including the Remastered version) as well as the OOP DVD-Audio. This disc proves to us just how much they were masters in the studio when they created this masterpiece.Read full review...

Your own personal concert every time you listen to the disc 3 3

I have the DVD Audio version. The stereo separation, the low gut punching bass, the vocal harmonies that the Eagles were known for. It’s like your own personal concert every time you listen to the disc 3 3Read full review...

High quality gets High cost

Great quality SACD of a EAGLES classic. Sadly, the high cost detracts a little. Buy cheaper CD if you don't have a SACD player and good speakers.

Awesome

The 5.1 channel SACD brought out a whole new experience. I absolutely loved Victim of Love in multichannel.
This was my first SACD. I was a bit sceptical that it would be worth the extra money, but in my opinion it is worth it.Read full review...
