Both strengths seem utterly undiminished. While to many the Eagles - and their reputation of a somewhat hedonistic heyday - represent all that went wrong with the Californian dream, it's also undeniable that not only were these guys players of the highest calibre, they also were not bad at critiquing their own peer group: sniping at coke-fuelled egos from the heart of the white powder maelstrom. Luckily it's all been just about worth it! The difference of course is that Bruce and Shakey have been churning out work on a regular annual basis throughout the 21st century, whereas it took Henley, Frey, Schmit and Walsh a whole SIX years in the studio to get this double album on the shelves. With the Boss and Old Neil back on form, here comes the real West Coast contingency also fired up about war in the Middle East and reflecting on the ageing process in fine style. This is proving to be a big year for elder statesmen of yankee 'Legacy Rock'. But then the ambitious reach of the wind-swept, politically charged 10-minute title track really pulls things back, while the pleasant calypso drift of 'Its Your World Now', near a cappella melody waterfall of 'No More Walks in the Wood' and moody blues swagger of 'Somebody' prove theres still just enough wind beneath these wings. Its music made by professionals, but lacking the classic, cinematic poise that has made Hotel California a mainstay on the best albums of all-time lists. Much of the first disc passes by in a shuffle of fairly standard, although admittedly enjoyable, mid-beat country-rock (see especially 'Busy Being Fabulous') and the appearance of a drum machine on the second hints at a frankly unnecessary dalliance with 80s MOR pop-and one theyd already avoided by splitting the first time around. Long Road out of Eden is no exception to that rule. But then there also hasnt been a double album in history that couldnt have been improved by shedding at least some of its load and tucking its jeans into its cowboy boots. There can barely be an Eagles fan on the face of the planet, after waiting patiently for the best part of 30 years-ignoring the piecemeal (and some might say mean-spirited) sprinkle of new songs on 1994s Hell Freezes Over -that doesnt crave every last minute of this epic stack of original work.
