A Five-Star Turkey
This horrible mess is filled with flat-out, bad songs that are rife with trite lyrics ("I heard some wise man say that every dog will have his day" or "I'm savin' all my lovin' just for you 'cause there's nothin' more that I would rather do"); beautifully sung; and meticulously, if somewhat lifelessly, played. Listening to these CD's is like listening to an Eagles tribute band, who sound uncannily like The Eagles, but mulishly insist on playing their own lousy originals. The problem is that the great Eagles songs from the 70's had more hooks than you'd find in a Velcro factory. These songs have nary a one. Remember how you had to skip through the filler on "The Long Run" to get to the good songs? On these CD's the filler has taken over and the good songs never appear. At one point--in order to relieve the monotony--The Eagles start singing in falsetto (I kid you not), Bee Gees-style. Leave this turkey in the bin at Wal Mart, go home, pour yourself a glass of tequila, and reminisce.

Good 'getting over the breakup' music and good Eagles music
Perfect songs for getting over the demise of a "broken" long friendship. Lyrics and music are really good. I enjoyed this 2 cd album the most!

Great Eagles CD to add to your collection
No, it's not Hotel California...get over it. It is good music by a great band that's been together over 30years.
Something to enjoy and not necessarily "take you back when"

Sad to admit it
I've been an Eagles fan since I was a teenager. They still are a great band, but It's sad to admit they have lost their creativity. No song of Long Road gives the "let me hear ths song again" feeling, besides Don Felder shines more being absent! The band lost a great talent when he left. The songwriting lacks innovation and the lyrics are sometimes very stupid. It seems to me they tried to play this one safe, after all, old loyal fans would buy it anyway (as I did... dang!).

Brilliant return from a legendary band
This was way more than I expected, both in terms of quantity and quality. 20 new songs from a band that hadn't released a full-length studio album in 28 years was a surprise, for sure. Even more surprising is just how many of these tracks I absolutely love. From their early country rock days ("How Long") to their amazing balladry ("Do Something") to Joe Walsh-led rock masterpieces ("Last Good Time in Town"), all forms are represented and brilliantly so. The 10-minute title track that leads off disk two is an example of the band adding something new to the mix as well. For sure, the overall mix is top-notch. This band has always been about grade A musicianship, and on this album every note is played and sung perfectly. The sheer simplicity of certain melodies is pure genius. Clearly, these guys haven't lost it musically after all these years. This one stands up to their legendary stuff from the 1970s. Well done!!
