The Eagles struck gold with this one.  They got a little bit heavier and less countrified than their previous releases, but they did not lose their soulful harmonies.  This release had some of the most well known and well done material of their carrer.  Of course everybody knows the classic title track and Life in the Fast Lane.  But this also has other great tracks such as Wasted time, New Kid in Town, Victim of Love and one of Don Henley's first songs about politics, environmentalism and religion, at least that is what I thought It was about, The Last Resort.  This album should be a very satisfying listen for anybody who truly likes music.
