I've been a huge Eagles fan for quite awhile now, this album is a little more country but it still rocks!!! Here goes....
Please offer your opinion / agreements / disagreements etc.
((long live Democracy))
DISC 1:
No more walks in the woods- great a capella, reminiscent of CSNY…good environmental message
How Long – the “hit single”, very good with Frey and Henley trading verses
Busy Being Fabulous – Honky tonk, Henley singing, its “OK”, not great however, great backing vocals
What Do I Do With My Heart – Frey singing, Henley background, very good ballad
Guilty Of The Crime – Joe Walsh on vocals, “fun” song very reminiscent of “All Night Long”
I Don’t Want To Hear Any More – very sad. Schmit on vocals, very good song (next “single”) ?
Waiting In The Weeds- Not just best song on CD but one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. The premise - “Someone has left you for someone else”. We’ve all “been there”. Henley sure can write!!
No More Cloudy Days – Frey singing. Another very good song. Reminiscent of “You Belong To The City”….Saxophone solo rocks!
Fast Company – Didn’t really care for this one. Good lyrics but Henley sounding like Justin Timberlake ((Simon Cowell would say "too pitchy" LOL)
Do Something – Schmit singing. Starts out sad but gets into a very positive vibe. Similar to “Love will keep us alive”
You Are Not Alone – Frey vocals. Good song.
DISC 2:
Long Road Out Of Eden – their “Kashmir” or “Arabian Knights”, begins with a Middle Eastern quality, then rags against war. Another great Henley written by Henley, Frey and Schmit
I Dreamed There Was No War – 1:37 acoustic guitar instrumental. Very good
Somebody – very good faster paced song with Frey on vocals, lots of Walsh guitar, superb backing vocals, rhythm guitar sounds eerily like Rush “Ghost of a chance”!
Frail Grasp On The Big Picture – jazz/swing feel to it. Henly ranting about life like only Henly can
Last Good Time In Town – Joe Walsh singing, funny in ironic way about how he’s “staying home a lot lately” but still would like to go out and party…but doesn’t…some of us can relate :ermm: LOL
Great guitar…CAN YOU NAME THE ENDING “DRUM LYRIC” very creative Mr Walsh!!!
I Love To Watch A Woman Dance – very country like, it’s “OK” but would think it would better fit on a Glenn Frey solo effort…kinda brought the vibe down from the Walsh tune above.
Business As Usual – I ALMOST chose this is best song of CD. Henley ranting again about business and politics!
Centre Of The Universe – the sleeper of the album! Harmonies: Eagles meet CSNY, meet Beatles “Across The Universe”, meet King’s X!!!
It’s Your World Now – ballad, Frey singing, “Italian” music in background, good message! Could be autobiographical as to Eagles “history” and “passing torch” to other bands???…listen carefully, LOL
