Oops! Very sorry... I got stuck.

Are we missing a TBS guitar credit?

[Melanie]

I was also hoping for a track-by-track breakdown. Guess I'll have to be patient and see what happens live....

[Elias]

Who is the producer to this record?? It says "produced by the eagles", but Joe Walsh said in an interview that the album went through "pucket of producers".. And in 2004, B. Smyxzuk (dont really know how to write the name!:) was the current producer. So anybody know?

[L&M]

Elias...it says right at the top who the co-producers are: Co-Producers – Steuart Smith, Richard F. W. Davis, Scott Crago and Bill Szymczyk

[Elias]

Thanks L&M, didnt notice that before.

[JB]

A very good album overall. My favs are in this order:

Weeds
BBF
You're not Alone (wish it was longer)
Last Good Time in Town (love the beat and guitar)
It's your world
Center of the Univ
LROE
NMCD and DS are also very good but not new

I think the album misses Don Felder - no rocker like HC, Victim of Love and Too Many Hands

The remaiming 4 are great musicians but I have to wonder what DF would bring to the table. Steu is good and we can see his influence in the album.

Can't wait too see the new songs live.

Life is good.

[Pawmuk]

There is a definite lack of rock songs on the album. which is all the more surprising when the one true rock song is the est track on the album.

Even Joe's song are a light weight.

Now they,re all friends again, maybe their forthcoming solo albums will also have major writing and playing collaborations, just as Joe pre-Eagles bust-up album, But Seriously Folks, did.

This Eagles album will give their solo careers a boost and if they do have any solo hits before the next Eagles tour, those hits would have to be considered for inclusion in the concert setlist.

Lastly, the title track's the best song, that took a long time to complete, but there are a few other great songs on the album that didn't.

Don says he wrote Waiting In The Weeds in June or July this year. Hopefully that'll help him realize that, it doesn't take 30 months in the studio to finish a great song, his best songs are those with a strong melody, even if the words don't say much and, in the music recording industry, deadlines are a good thing.

I wonder which of the 20 songs were done after the deadline was introduced.

[Janez]

Yeah, Weeds is probably near the top of all they ever made, no fuss, no nonsense straight and direct good melody, profound and yet spontaneously penetrating. I miss that spontaneous innocence with some other songs that seem too sophisticated on times. All in all, California dreamin continues! Proud to be an Eagle fan!

[Harry]

I remember filling in a quiz in which I was asked to give my thaughts about de new album, how many songs were on it, which month or year it was coming out, who wrote how many songs, who would have the lead in songs ...... Has this quiz vanished or are Lisa & Melissa working on it?

[Clive Lawrence]

No one track on this album will be a classic in my opinion. Overall i am dissapointed, i was hoping for new classic Eagles songs and not politically orientated ones. Some songs OK but no memorable ones. Sorry. The Eagles miss Don Felder badly.

[MAUREEN KENNEDY]

I cannot stop playing this album,It's sensational, it's alot Old Eagles, that soft country rock of the seventies. It's a good summer album to relax in the back yard with. Welcome back boys, what took you so damn long????????
I absolutely love "I don't want to hear anymore" Timothy sounds no different than he ever did! Fabulous.
Title song is great, have to admit to rushing to the computer looking for guest artists, the guitar in the middle sounds hauntingly like Dave Gilmour's style (Pink Floyd), and I have had at least three other people say the same thing!!!!!!!!!!

[Jane]

I love this album....and several tracks stand out as being sensational, but for me as a writer "I don't want to hear any more" takes me to a completely different place! Been an Eagles fan since 1977 when I first heard "Take it to the Limit" on a flight to San Francisco and was hooked. Hey, guys, let's have more please! How about it? Thanks.

[K.C.]

What's up with the vague credits.
I want to know who plays guitar on what !!!

[jimcapecod]

overall i agree with many of the comments made by other fans/critics...i am definately in agreement that the loss of felder is quite noticable and missed on many guitar leads( can't help but believe that LROOE would be even better with better guitar agrangement...i also think that for an album that took so long that there is a lot of wasted, not worthy tracks, but on the other hand i find myself liking the album more every time i listen to it....overall, slightly dissapointed but huge eagles fan so i am swimming in the pleasure of new stuff...albeit maybe 5-6 too many tracks

[cr padilla]

Who says there aren't any rock tunes on this LP.What about Fast Company ? Waiting in the Weeds is a Henley classic worthy of anything Eagles have ever done. Very few, if any weak tunes on this album.
