REVIEW: Like the first two tracks (classic rock staples). It's just amazing how they'll latch onto a song or two and play those to death and ignore the rest, which I NEVER hear (except for Peaceful Easy Feeling, which I don't like). But that's their modus operandi--go with the familiar to hang onto the listener so that the ratings don't go down and they can no longer attract advertisers. This one gets a 3.

OVERALL RATING: 8

DISCUSSION: I've always kind of liked the Eagles. They were never one of my favorite groups but whenever an album came out, there were always songs that became part of my existence, usually the ones that had those beautiful harmonies. This isn't a great album but it is still quite listenable to me, with a few really high points.
