Title: Strange but catchy songs
Review: The Eagles must have been in a strange place mentally and emotionally when writing these songs and yet when I listen to them I enjoy the entire CD. "The Long Run" is reminiscent of previous Eagles work and "I Can't Tell You Why" is one of the best ballads I've ever heard. "In the City" is actually a pretty normal song for having been written by Joe Walsh. "Disco Strangler" has a cool, repetitive guitar hook but is odd subject matter. "King of Hollywood" and "Teenage Jail" are also good musically but weird lyrically. "Those Shoes" is my favorite song. Dark in tone, strange again in subject matter and killer guitar work. "Greeks Don't Want No Freaks" is short and catchy but I don't understand the point of it. "Sad Cafe" is an ok ballad, but a little pretentious. Odd intent with many of these songs, but when I listen I sing along. Strange combination.
