Point taken.īut Long Road… is no miserable trudge through worthy protest songs, it’s also a (predictably) sleek vehicle for all the things Eagles fans love. It’s also beautifully rounded off by a short guitar instrumental called 'I Dreamed There Was No War'. It’s their 'Hotel California' for the new age a surreal nightmare of excess in foreign parts. A doomy, weary drag through Bush’s Iraq, painting an impressionistic portrait of homesick soldiers lost in the desert and blind to the region’s historical significance, while their commanders try to keep the spirit of the States alive with barbeques and pecan pie: 'bloated with entitlement, loaded on propaganda'. The title track – a ten-minute centrepiece – is the key text here.

Walsh's guitar stings like a bee, and you’d be hard-pushed to date this as an album that comes a full 28 years after their last studio effort were it not for its subject matter. Both strengths seem utterly undiminished. While to many the Eagles - and their reputation of a somewhat hedonistic heyday - represent all that went wrong with the Californian dream, it’s also undeniable that not only were these guys players of the highest calibre, they also were not bad at critiquing their own peer group: sniping at coke-fuelled egos from the heart of the white powder maelstrom. Luckily it's all been just about worth it… The difference of course is that Bruce and Shakey have been churning out work on a regular annual basis throughout the 21st century, whereas it took Henley, Frey, Schmit and Walsh a whole SIX years in the studio to get this double album on the shelves.
