To say that this CD is great .... is absurd !!! The gap between the sheer quality and creativity of the title track (HOTEL CALIFORNIA) and the rest of the songs in this trash is so enormous that you keep wondering if it were the same guys who recorded it !!! Even in the lyric department the difference is absurd. WHile "HOTEL CALIFORNIA" has substance and a different lyric, the rest of the song's lyrics is just plain cheesy (love, love, girls, heartbreak, and son on so on...). It seems some genius or saint appeared suddenly of the blue and gave the inspiration to the band write HOTEL CALIFORNIA. THen ther saint was gone and the band wrote the rest of the material...
