Eagles' third and yet to really make the big time (as per high charting albums)...
bit more of a rock feel happening on this one as opposed to the more country flavoured
sounds of their first two albums....
so, it appears they were trying to get 'heavier' with a rock sound yet, the biggest hit off the
album was still pretty country sounding to me...
like the previous two and "hotel California" there is very little to criticise on this one,
only thing I really could knock is the clichéd, corny lyrics in the James Dean song, apart from that,
this is another classic album from the band IMO...
