Title: Hotel Catatonia
Review: The fact that this album is the biggest selling catalog item to date really says a lot about how much the United States cherishes mediocrity in music. And no American artist is more cherished than the Eagles.Taking their cue from far superior bands (The Flying Burrito Brothers, the Byrds, The Band, etc.), the Eagles were certainly country-rock's first and most successful mercenaries, sucking all life from the genre, and, at the same time, making Gram Parsons turn over in his grave (though not technically, thanks to Phil "The Human Torch" Kaufman).If you want a truly great album, try "The Guilded Palace of Sin" by the Flying Burrito Brothers. Believe me, it's so much better than this tripe. The Eagles have far more money than they know what to do with already. Their thoughtless, condescending, mindless songs make up a shameful catalog that should be burned in effigy (as well as physically).
Is the review positive or negative?
