The Eagles finest album,worth it for Journey Of The Sorcerer alone!
This is by far my favorite Eagles album,yes it includes the radio staples Lyin' Eyes,Take It To The Limit and the classic title track that were played to death on the radio,great song sbut the real reason I bought this is for Journey Of The Sorcerer,a very incredible instumental that shows the chops of all the band members,it features strings as well,it did get some airplay but has NEVER been on any of their best of compilations,one of the graet sleeper tracks of 1975(Fire On High by ELO is another one!),After The Thrill Is Gone is another underated classic,although it;s been on some of the hit;s packages,this is the band's best album in my opinion although thie next LP/CD Hotel California got all those Grammys,it's a 5 star album also,but I like this one more!!!.


Pretty Good Primacy
There's no need to discuss the three singles that also appeared on the first Greatest Hits, you've heard 'em, you know whether you like 'em. This album established the Eagles' primacy on the airwaves and the arena circuit. Me, I'm in for all three, with the title track and its intro being one of the Eagles' best moments.

Apart from the hits, if I were cherry-picking tracks for download or compiling my own best of the Eagles, "Journey of the Sorcerer" would be the first one on the portable mp3 player. A six or seven minute instrumental, something unique in the Eagles' catalog, and it maintains interest for the duration of the track.

The album's weakness is that the rockers just don't hold their own. Of the six non-single tracks, "Visions" and "Too Many Hands" are the two rockers, and unfortunately they're the two weakest tracks on the album. The remaining three ballads make this the mellowest of the Eagles' albums. None are on a par with the ballads from the "Desperado" album such as "Bitter Creek", "Saturday Night" or "Tequila Sunrise" but they hold their own.

In spite of any shortcomings, for my money this was the last solid Eagles album. When the CD era came along I surprised myself by snapping up the first four Eagles albums almost immediately; I'd always enjoyed those Eagles albums on vinyl but never particularly thought of myself as a fan. But sometimes our actions reveal our priorities and when the CD era arrived I found that my appreciation of the Eagles had grown over time.

The Eagles released three albums after this before breaking up (the first time) - "Hotel California", "The Long Run", and the live album. If you have the affordable "Greatest Hits Volume Two", you've got all you need from those more rock-AOR days. But do yourself a favor and check out the first four Eagles albums, with "Desperado" and "On The Border" being the crowning glories. "Greatest Hits Volume One", with its ten song limit, just can't do justice to the Eagles' best years.

Seamless country and rock tunes
The Eagles hit their stride with this album which defined their signature sound. Since we've all heard bad music we know its difficult to produce good listening tunes with the right arrangement, lyrics, and singers. They blend rock rhythms with a bit of country style lyrics and beats. The guitars are the heart of many of the songs giving many of the tunes a more country sounding edge. It's easy to listen to one song after another as there are so many great tunes. .


A nice surprise
I approve, though Lebowski does not. I bought this just to get the full length Journey of the Sorcerer, but ended up liking the whole album.


Eagles, One Of These Nights
I strongly suggest that if you like the Eagles, this is one of their better Albums. Another great album from the Eagles.
