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.
-
That band’s ambition is intact is remarkable--that they’ve made an album that captures the zeitgeist is maybe even more so.
-
Bitter or sweet, the Eagles sidestep self-parody, serving up the rarest of musical blends: freshly brewed nostalgia you'll actually want to savor.
-
Sprawling, but pristinely produced, animated by righteous indignation and regret, this double album offers everything fans want and detractors scorn.
-
There is more than nostalgia at work here. Lyrically at least, the cocaine cowboys of yore strive to engage with the modern world’s ills and idiosyncrasies.
-
It is an auspicious beginning for a double album so strong it's almost irritating that it took so long to release it.
-
The Eagles' original studio albums were all models of clenched-gleam detail, and Long Road suffers from sprawl.
-
They could have made most of the album back in 1979.
