GeorgeP.Nov 5, 2007If you loved the Eagles in the 70's You'll love this new album. Incredble music, lyrics and vocals. The Eagles are the Beatles of Southern Rock and that's a fact. The album is a creative masterpiece.

MartinD.Aug 25, 2009A fantastic double CD that warrants and rewards frequent playing. As good as anything they did 30+ years ago.

JyotiL.Nov 4, 2007I can now die happy! This CD is pure joy! A mix of sweet love songs, ballads obviously written to their children, and social commentary. The voices are great, the harmonies truly sweet, and the instruments well-seasoned. I've not in a long time heard as funky a song as "Fast Company"!!! These guys still have still got it going on and I just can't stop listening.

MattF.Nov 14, 2007Pure joy. Top quality Eagles - I like the variety from the edgy Don Henley tunes to the smooth Glenn Frey. Surprised by the Joe Walsh entries - loved them.

LindaP.Nov 3, 2007Definitely worth the wait. A great American band.

BillMDec 26, 2007I grew up listening to The Eagle's and this album is one of their greatest. Lots of feeling and mood for a group that has matured with the years.

JBH.Nov 24, 2007Thank you Glenn, Don, Joe & Timothy for persevering and bringing out a double CD that I will play and play and play. Yes, it sounds like I've heard it before, but that's okay because it's fresh and it's Eagles and honestly, it's exceeded my expectations.

WoodyC.Nov 29, 2007Let's remember folk's these men are 60 years plus.It is amazing they still have such great voices and the ability to still play as perfect as they do.Go see them in concert they give a 110% live and in the studio.

NiallNov 3, 2007Some reviewers I've read have been unimpressed & I originally decided not to buy. Having done so the melodies & harmonies are as if the last 25 years never happened. Not a classic but it does all you would want from an Eagles CD.

eddieNov 3, 2007A little less of Glenn's ballads and more tunes like "How Long" & BBF Joe Walsh rocks!

ClayKSep 21, 2009Randy Meisner (Take It To The Limit), Bernie Leadon (Earlybird, Train Leaves Here This Morning) and Don Felder (Hotel California) were also Eagles and I hope someday they will play together again for us. I'll be buying the CD after listening on YouTube, will cruise with it.

KenHHNov 1, 2007This is not as bad as previous users have noted. Clearly it's not as strong as Eagles of decades ago but for a bunch of aging rockers that are ripping off their fans with overpriced tickets, I can still be somewhat objective and hear they are making quality music.

TimANov 24, 2007Wow strong reactions pro and con.... usually translates to great music... and I do indeed hear flashes of classic sound.

SteveVNov 26, 2007The people that gave this bad reviews are nuts. While not the greatest Eagles, it is a solid record.

GregPOct 3, 2008A few stinkers, but otherwise some very good Eagles music. Some of the reviews posted to this site read like critics whining for a stage on which to spout their musical "gravitas" and intellect. Over analyzing music from the Eagles is probably a waste of time, whereas simply enjoying their music is good enough for me. It's just the Eagels for crying out loud.

ChrisG.Nov 5, 2007Some very nice melodies, some nice put downs at which they are so adept. The production almost feels over the top, but still, a sold effort by a group that in my estimation doesn't get it due as one of the all time great American bands,

The album is savvier still, crafted to evoke the spirit and feel of the Eagles' biggest hits.
-
It's all a testament to the durable Eagles footprint on the pop landscape.
-
It is an auspicious beginning for a double album so strong it's almost irritating that it took so long to release it.
