Fun fact: even though virtually everyone calls them The Eagles, it’s really just Eagles. (There was already some soul band called The Eagles).
This was their sixth (and penultimate) studio album, their final one for Asylum records, and the first with Timothy Schmidt on bass (replacing Randy Meisner). They wouldn’t release another studio album until 2007’s Long Road Out of Eden.
Some great songs here: “Heartache Tonight,” “I Can’t Tell You Why,” and the title track. I realize they’ve become something of the punching bag for AOR and mainstream 70s soft rock, but I still really love this band. (I was tempted to write “The Eagles” there myself).
