I love this album. It's actually the first studio album I bought (in January this year).

Within the groups, I've listed songs in alphabetical order.

5+ (I really REALLY love it and these would be in my top 10 Eagles songs)
*Long Road Out of Eden
*Waiting In the Weeds
*What Do I Do With My Heart

5 I love it
*Busy Being Fabulous
*How Long
*I Dreamed There Was No War
*It's Your World Now
*No More Cloudy Days

4 I really like it
*Business As Usual
*Do Something
*I Don't Want To Hear Anymore
*No More Walks In The Woods
*Somebody
*You Are Not Alone


3 I like it
*Centre Of The Universe
*Fast Company
*Frail Grasp On The Big Picture

Would love another album!

Wow---4 years!! Unbelievable!!! I went back through this whole thread a minute ago because I kinda remembered there being one song on the album that really caused a bit of conversation/debate a couple years ago and I thought it was in this thread. I was right, and I'll get to that shortly. But I also found how I described it when I first held this in my hand. Here's that link.

And here about this albuming coming just when I needed it the most during my father's illness and losing several friends and relatives that year. What struck me while reading my post was that I could say the same thing this year, regarding several deaths, including my Mom's and one of my fave bands putting out a new album that meant a lot to me & helped a bit... The Cars new album Move Like This.. Strange.

As for the controversial song, duh, it was Frail Grasp, of course. There were about 7 pages of discussion on it 2 years ago in this thread. Some of us felt pretty strongly about it. Here's where I picked some of the lyrics apart.

Wow, Has it been 4 years! I love this album. It had been so long that we had anything new from the Eagles, I was totally thrilled & ordered it as soon as it was available. Straight from the start, I loved "Waiting In the Weeds" The other song I loved right away was "Busy Being Fabulous" & "Guilty of the Crime" & oh a few others. I think Disk 1 was mostly what I listened to.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Long Road Out of Eden!!

Happy Anniversary To Long Road Out Of Eden!

While I have to admit this is my 2nd least favorite Eagles album (my least favorite is Desperado), I give the band huge props for putting out an album after so long and having the success with it they did as well as the fact I respect what it means to some people and I of course highly respect that. That said, I can't hide the fact I'm not overly ecstatic about the album. To me personally it sounds a bit sterile, too modern, too commercial, and over processed - if that makes any sense. The two songs I like from it are How Long and Guilty Of The Crime (both of which were older previously done songs). Where as my least favorite Eagles album, I only like the title track (Desperado). I did however like the LROOE tour as I saw them in Chicago in 2008 (September 25th show). I just wished they would have played more 70s tunes. Maybe they could have done one night of just the hits and one night of more LROOE focused songs. I suggested that a while back for those who wanted more LROOE songs in the setlist while those of us who are wanting more hits/less or no LROOE need that too and since they typically do (or did) two nights at one venue this could easily be done, IMHO.

That said, I do respect the Eagles for putting out a successful album after so many years and for moving on and for moving people with the album. You have to give credit where credit is due and I certainly always believe that. I also admire the fact the album had meant so much to some people and made some new Eagles fans as well and that's always a good thing!

Happy Anniversary LROOE

Wow, can't belive that I have this fantastic album already 4 years!

[Prettymaid]

Here's my list. I've separated it into three sections, the first one being the songs I really like, the second songs I sometimes skip, and the third, songs I almost always skip.

I know I'm a Joe fan, but I'm surprised that nobody feels the love I have for LGTIT. Since the first time I played the CD I have loved that song - everything about it, and to this day it is still my ringtone.

BBF used to be higher on the list, but honestly everytime I hear it I think of their lackluster performance of it on the CMA show.

All I can say about Fast Company is, that's not the same Eagles I know and love. Okay, I guess it is, but I don't have to listen to it.

1. How Long
2. Last Good Time In Town
3. No More Cloudy Days
4. Waiting In the Weeds
5. Somebody
6. You Are Not Alone
7. What Do I Do With My Heart
8. I Dreamed There Was No War

9. Long Road Out of Eden
10. Busy Being Fabulous
11. Guilty Of the Crime
12. Do Something
13. It's Your World Now
14. I Don't Want to Hear Anymore

15. No More Walks In the Wood
16. Business As Usual
17. I Love to Watch a Woman Dance
18. Center of the Universe
19. Frail Grasp On the Big Picture
20. Fast Company

HAPPY 4TH ANNIVERSARY LONG ROAD OUT OF EDEN!!!

Wow - like most of you, it's hard for me to believe that this album is 4 years old. It still seems new to me as I listened to it in my car today.

I am woefully behind on the anniversary threads since I have been away for a little while. I will compile the results of this thread as I do with others at the end of the celebration week.

I made my list and then went back and compared it to my list earlier in this thread to see if I have changed my mind on the order of the songs and the only difference is that I reversed the order of Somebody and What Do I Do With My Heart. So here it is ...

1. How Long
2. Waiting In the Weeds
3. Somebody
4. What Do I Do With My Heart
5. Long Road Out of Eden
6. You Are Not Alone
7. I Dreamed There Was No War
8. I Love To Watch a Woman Dance
9. Do Something
10. Last Good Time In Town
11. Business As Usual
12. No More Cloudy Days
13. Guilty of the Crime
14. Center of the Universe
15. It’s Your World Now
16. Busy Being Fabulous
17. I Don’t Want To Hear Any More
18. No More Walks In the Wood
19. Frail Grasp On the Big Picture
20. Fast Company
