Eagles

Peaceful Easy Feeling is one of the best vibes of all time. A couple other hits and the deep cuts aren’t bad but don’t bring this into 5 star territory

Some hits and some ok songs. 3.5 stars

it was a pretty good album had some charm but overall just felt like a really safe standard rock album which definitely have their place but it just felt like it missed something. Good guitar and vocals and some good tracks such as "take it easy", "train leaves here this morning" and "early bird" maybe I need to listen to it more and eagles in general but personally I this album and even the band just don't really excite me or engage me much

It's all power chords, guitar tone is anemic. The "chugging" song is weird, were they forbidden to swear?

If I never hear Take It Easy ever again, that would be okay.

Quite inoffensive but I'm not excited by it

Just meh! Not a fan of country rock.

Defs a classic but kinda boring to me. I know the story behind this album cover and it is a good one.

we’re gonna chug all night??????????

3 major classics here, the rest is filler. Not their best album but it was a preview of the greatness to come.

Actually really enjoyed the first song! But Earlybird was awful and my dog thought so as well.

The singles are good, the rest is very meh. I just can't really get into The Eagles.

Lots of good songs and harmonies.

Haven't heared their pre-Hotel California stuff before. This is even better. Soulful southern rock even better than my expectations.

3.5 - Solid classic rock.

Great music for easy listening.

not my fave band, but I did enjoy this album, a little repetitive at times and could be boring.

Solid album, only song I questioned was Earlybird as it hurt my ears. Other than Take It Easy the album was average, far from bad.

A few hits, a couple nice surprises and several misses

4! Good rock and some lovely songs, good vibes

Witchy Woman and Most of Us are Sad by Eagles on Eagles are fantastic. Rest of album is nice too 🦅

The non singles from this album (not on greatest hits v1) are all new to me. Glenn Frey makes this a tough listen and confirmed I’d rather hear a Jackson Browne version of the Eagles singing those songs. The rest of the album sounded like a band holding tryouts for writing and lead vocals. Solid but not special.

Du country rock jouissif, avec un coup de coeur pour "Witchy Woman" !

Overall very chill tunes, either melancholic or cheerful, but quite laidback. Pretty relaxing. Solid album.

Did not mess with the first couple songs tbh After a while really started to enjoy the soundscape created. Not really the music I would think about listening too. Fav songs: Most of Us Are Sad - what a tune Overall it's cool 6/10

Nice at times but can't imagine ever listening to it again

Started off strong ngl

Tight Eagles sound, with some excellent guitar solos. I've a soft spot for that sound, as 'Hotel California' was the perfect soundtrack to many a late night drive on a road trip in the middle of the deserts, gold mining ghost towns, mountainsides, and farmland here in California--waiting for that mysterious no-place where one can never leave to emerge along the road. That said, couldn't find any songs that hit as deeply.

Bonus point because “Most of us are sad” is a great name for a song.

Banjo.

I enjoyed this more than Hotel California. Part of that could be because the album states its thesis very clearly - Take It Easy, with the banjo, nice harmonies, laid back vibes. And the rest of the album follows that for the most part, with a track from left field, Most of Us Are Sad snuck in there, and ending with a song about Tryin' (though yeah, take it easy mostly).

This was infinity better than i expected partially because the last eagles album was SOOO BAD!!. This album generally wasn't as offensive as the last, but I wouldn't really want to listen again either.

I have established precedent of giving an Eagles album one star for each bop on it. In this case there is one (Take It Easy). So, one star it is!

Some big hits and some sleeper hits. These are very cool country rock songs.

Reminds me of car rides with my mom as a kid! Take it easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling are classics. I also discovered Nightingale on this listen. Doesn't quite have the 5 star juice, but is comfortably a 4 star record.

Boooooooo Fuck off Don Henley* *Take The Devil and Tryin' were find

Easy listening

Nice easy listening with some good tracks. Not much more than that. Favorite Tracks: Witchy Woman, Earlybird

I put this album on. It played. It finished. I did some admin, but at no point did it offer anything to explain why it’s on this list. Yes, some lovely harmonies at points, and a very capable bunch of musicians, but, and this is the thing, it feels manufactured, and that there’s no heart to it. The production doesn’t feel coherent from one song to the next, and lacks a sense of authenticity which follows through to the lyrics which are frequently cliched, or worse, insincere. It doesn’t feel like the product of a band who honed their skills gigging and building a sound. It doesn’t sound like the debut of a band trying to prove themselves, more it sounds like the debut of a band who were into shifting units more than expressing their art. So it’s not a case of “I hate the fucking Eagles, man” because there’s really nothing to hate. There’s nothing to give a fuck about. And that’s worse.

Couple of good tracks, but a bit too country for my taste.

Good album, nothing crazy stood out to me but enjoyable to listen to!

Good classic rock album. I am familiar with some of these songs but a lot I didn't recognize.

Take it Easy

Listening session: january 7th, while trying to survive walking through a snowstorm Listened to before: no Thoughts: I normally don’t listen to the Eagles much but I really enjoyed this album Favourite tracks: Most of Us Are Sad, Train Leaves Here This Morning & Witchy Woman

Kinda boring I can’t lie. I wanted to like it but didn’t

High 3

kinda slow. songs lowkey all sound the same. decent album tho

Fav song: Witchy Women Least fav song: Peaceful Easy Feeling Overall ranking:2.5/5 -> Round up to 3 I quite liked this album but it got harder to listen to as the album went on, idk if its cuz its late and im tired or if its just bcs it was just a bit underwhelming compared to the first few songs?? Individual Song Rankings: Take it easy - "I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me" - I'm loving the guitar in the background and for once the music and vocals match🙏🙏🙏 3/5 Witchy Woman - "She got the moon in her eyes" Before the song starts, just know i have high expectations of this😛 I quite like this songg and the instrumentalss!!! 4/5 Chug all night - "High on a pleasure wheel; No devil ever cast a voodoo" - Loving the instrumentals at the start, but i fear the vocals don't seem to fit with it?? 2/5 Most of us are sad - Kind of mediocre compared to the other ones and like the potential this had??? None of the lyrics necessarily stand out to me. 2/5 Nightingale - "And let the floods return, we will prevail" - Nightingale was the superior house (No the fuck it was not, we sucked icl). I'm loving the musicc but idk what's going on 2.5/5 Train leaves here this morning - "Might have been that it was getting time to leave" 3/5 Take the Devil - "Oh, how could you be so blind?" This is such an experience with headphones, the intro kinda is weird like i cant hear anything except the beat in my right ear and idk how to feel abt it but i quite like the drums 2/5 Early bird - ".. Wil' wake one day; to find his life has gone" 2.5/5 Peaceful easy Feeling 2/5 Tryin' 2/5

Besides Witchy Woman, I just find this album forgettable and too laid back.

This is quite a good debut album with some legendary songs. I enjoyed it, overall.

nadam se da cu vremenom moci ove rock albume da razlikujem, za sad mi zvuce slicno ovo je neki west coast country laid back rock album, i kao mnogo je nesto mlako nmp samo je lagano sve vreme nema dovoljno oompha to je to nemam sta vise da kazem

Whatever. Couple hits. Glenn Frey sounded ridiculous.

I liked this, but thought I was going to love it

Really enjoyed this album

theres actually some really nice songs on this, train leave here this morning is great

No

It can be quite annoying when the top 5 reviews are all a movie quote from a movie I've never watched that contains little actual review of the album. Now, onto the actual review: this is a very polished, laid-back country rock album. It's not revelatory in any sense, but it does exactly what you'd expect from the Eagles. It rocks with ample pop polish and a slight country twang. It is a little weak lyrically, but I've heard worse(I gave Deep Purple's Machine Head a 5 in spite of lyrics that are worse than this). Musically, it's competent but not excellent. It's a nice, easy listen that doesn't really give that much in terms of musical rewards, but requires far less effort than most other records to get them. The intro to "Earlybird" is nowhere near as bad or annoying as many say it is. In summary, I like the record, and hate the reviews that just say "I hate the fucking Eagles, man" with no explanation of why they hate the Eagles.

Powiem tak - "Hotel California" to to nie jest. To wciąż bardzo solidny debiut i pewnie na swoje czasy był to niesamowity album. Ale jakoś nie zestarzał się tak dobrze, jak ten późniejszy krążek Eagles. Solówka na banjo w otwierającym "Take It Easy" dosyć mocno zbiła mnie z tropu, ale już "Witchy Woman" brzmiało bardziej jak późniejsze utwory z "Hotel California". To nie jest w żadnym wypadku zły album. Ale jak będę wracał do Orłów, to zdecydowanie do ich późniejszej twórczości.

It’s nothing groundbreaking but it’s good enough to not get bored. That said, Peaceful Easy Feeling remains one of my favourite songs ever.

Really like this one. The long instrumentals are nice. Classic rock album from this era.

Eagles are at their best when they harmonize and rock out, which is on full display in this record. That said it's a far cry from ground breaking music but it's okay

most overrated band of all time, fuck these guys Will I listen to again: 0%

4/10 - This album sounds like wood paneled basements, tucked in T-Shirts, light wash jeans, and songs people try and play around a campfire.

Boring dad rock. 4/10

Eagles har ännu inte blivit arenasvulstiga på sitt debutalbum och det hedrar dom. Men det är ett album som inte alls hänger ihop, för många låtskrivare kanske (?). Eagles har alltid haft en och annan enstaka fin låt och här är det oväntat många. När det stundtals lutar åt västkustcountry i "Take it easy", "Most of us are sad", "Peaceful easy feeling" och inte minst Gene Clark-pennade "Train leaves here this morning" är det inte så dumt alls. Men det blir tungrodd rock också i "Take the devil", "Nigtinggale" och "Chug all night" det är oerhört trist. Och i avslutande stolpskottet "Tryin'“ är det så dåligt att man vill kaskadkräkas. Hyfsad topphöjd men genomusel bottennivå. Det blir en tvåa i de nedre regionerna

Inledande Take it easy med sitt akustiska gitarrdriv och effektiva stämmor är utmärkt. Näst sista spåret Peaceful easy feeling har liknande kvaliteter. Men i övrigt inget värt att nämna.

Det börjar bra med inledande Take it easy. Sen blir det inte så mycket mer. De countrydoftande spåren är bäst (i regel med Frey på sång och som kompositör). Tyvärr allt för få av dessa. Blir en tvåa men inte så mycket mer.

Det här var inget som tilltalar mig. Trist körsång av typen Crosby Stills & Nash. Hårdrocksambitioner i Take the Devil och Tryin'. Boogie woogie i Chug all night. Hippieflosklerna i Earlybird skivans behållning? Mycket svag tvåa.

It's good... if you're driving for hours in a car. It doesn't mean it's bad, only means that when the trip ends, you will forget those musics and move on.

The Big Lebowski did a lot to harm the Eagles reputation, but it's honestly just fine. Background music for harmless alcoholics who don't like music but want something to be playing. Top-tier mid.

The Dude may hate the Eagles, but you can’t deny their contributions to rock. This album is great, would listen to again

Great first album from a great LA/country/folk/rock band!

Album 5 Top 3 favorites off the album: Train Leaves Here This Morning, Peaceful Easy Feeling, Nightingale Good variety in sound. I can appreciate an album that flows well. Unfortunately, I'm just not that into country rock of this flavor. Things I will give credit: 1. They can do a solid guitar solo. 2. I like the banjo, and there was an acceptable amount of banjo in Earlybird. 3. There are delicious vocal harmonies which make for fun musician listening. Lyrics for this one sit in the middle for me. Some songs hit, others don't. Maybe I'm just a hater. Funnily enough, my mom was just listening to The Eagles in the kitchen. One of my middle school friends loved them. I never got into them. Can't say this album has changed my mind, but I enjoyed Train Leaves Here This Morning enough that this was a decent experience. Probably won't come back to this one, though.

I was scared I would have to out myself again as a committed dad rock enjoyer but fortunately the middle of the album was a bit of a slog so I can just give this a 3. Classic singles but theres a lot of detritus as well.

Beautiful songs and lyrics that stick with you. I loved having this soundtrack my day and truly feeling like it was enhancing everything I was doing.

easy listening, dad fishing music

Nice rock album with a lot of elements going into it that felt different and new in every song. The banjo accents in some of the songs as well as great drum parts and bright basslines that kept me entertained while listening.

Had fun listening to this! Nothing particularly outstanding or jarring. Just the Eagles baby Song added to playlist: - Take It Easy

I'm just not an Eagles fan. Favorite songs: Take It Easy

I'm just not an Eagles guy.

Eagles were/are one of the biggest American bands of all time, with egos to match, so this hardly needs any takes from me. But I did not enjoy this. The hits are fine (except "Peaceful Easy Feeling," blech), but "Chug All Night" and "Most of Us Are Sad" are godawful, and the rest of it is only nominally better. Hard pass.

Easy one for me to love as I grew up in a household with their albums playing

Wild how many absolute hits were on this album, couple of stinkers but a genre defining album with massive hit appeal.

not usually my style of rocked but enjoyed

Highlights: Take It Easy In a nutshell: it's a start? There is a tonne of filler. Fantastic opening track. Train Leaves Here This Morning has a similar structure to (and reminds me of) Peaceful Easy Feeling. The harmonies are amazing. Production is top notch (courtesy of Olympic in London). It's good that the band rotates with lead vocal duties early on. For a debut album, it's okay. Just okay. Side note: props to Jackson Browne for gifting Take It Easy to his friend, neighbour and co-writer, Glenn Frey. Browne didn't have time to finish the song for his own album. Frey encouraged Browne to record it, even offering to help. He declined. After days of Frey bugging him, Browne was fed up and gave the song to Frey. Browne said in 2012 "...he finished it in spectacular fashion. And, what's more, arranged it in a way that was far superior to what I had written." Overall: 3/10

algunas me gustan, pero no sorprenden mucho

me han gustado todas las cancionesssss

Track 1 - Take It Easy Ah it's the Winslow Arizona song, really like the backing vocals, really like this one, banjo fits if a bit cliché Track 2 - Witchy Woman Bit boring, like the guitar solo, not aged brilliantly Track 3 - Chug All Night Really like Glenn's vocals on this, quite like the 'vibe', subtle references to death, feels pretty standard Track 4 - Most of Us Are Sad Not really subtle, drags on, I like the message and see what they're going for, feels really disingenuous after 'Chug All Night' Track 5 - Nightingale Felt like a chore to listen to, the 'ooos' get pretty annoying, unimaginative, cool bit of bass about 3 mins in, most excitement I felt throughout Track 6 - Train Leaves Here This Morning Quite like the harmonies, once again putting me to sleep a bit, simple as it gets Track 7 - Take the Devil I like the instrumentals, not too keen on the vocals or the lyrics, outro feels too long Track 8 - what the fuck is this intro please shut that bird up it sounds like a car alarm, I quite like the ,rest of this one, cool themes and lyrics, doesn't overstay its welcome, best drums on the album, why is the bird back Track 9 - Peaceful Easy Feeling More love, nice vocals, dull lyrics, dull instrumentals, I literally yawned during this Track 10 - Tryin' Not much to write home about, once again not brill vocals Eagles self titled album released in 1972 is soulless and drab. I had hopes after quite a first track but those quickly dwindled as the album felt quite simple in themes and instrumentals. For an album so focused on freedom as a core aspect it feels like they refused to really experiment. It is a shame because there are moments of greatness particularly in the harmonies, drums and bass. The best way I can describe this album is cookie cutter. 2/10

Vibe is oke, maar ik herinner me echt niks meer. 6/10 ofzo

Das würde in meinem Firebird laufen, bis ich nachVietnam eingezogen werde. Fuck yea

Solid though nothing special

fine.

Great album. Classic Eagles. The best songs are the slower folk/country rock, softer sounds. Notable tracks include Take It Easy, Nightingale, Witchy Woman, Train Leaves Here This Morning, Peaceful Easy Feeling.

4/5

A lot better than I expected. Really enjoyed this. 8/10

There are a lot of songs I have heard, but never listened to. Great songwriting, amazing production, and overall very cohesive and enjoyable.

I like a few things from this record, but overall it's very weak. The only plus is that you can listen to it in the background without any strain.

I think the first 2 tracks are the strongest, but on the whole the album is pretty easy listening. I'm gonna give it a 3, but that could go up if i revisit.

Great Songs: Take It Easy, Take the Devil, Peaceful Easy Feeling Good Songs: Witchy Woman, Train Leaves Here This Morning, Earlybird, Tryin' Mid Songs: Chug All Night, Most of Us Are Sad, Nightingale Bad Songs:

AAAAA++++

I thought the Eagles were ok man. But this album is just shit. Not exactly a great album cover. In fact, its also shit. After listening to this, I'm with the dude; I fucking hate the Eagles.

Just the most basic, uninspired, run-of-the-mill country rock album I've heard. Everything: the vocals, the guitars, the banjo in the background, even the name of the band—so cliché and uninteresting. Not the worst thing I've heard, of course, but this album is so devoid of life and ideas it's not very fun to listen to. 5/10

Solid 3. Some good tracks for sure.

A couple tracks that everybody ever probably knows, a couple dogs, and some musically fine but ultimately forgettable filler. Not gonna knock The Eagles too much for this one, but the boomer's hero worship of these guys has poisoned the well somewhat for this listener, and best I can do is give this one a passing grade.

Easy to listen to, the songs were pretty smooth and enjoyable all throughout. It’s the kind of album you can play without thinking too much. It was a fun listen, and I liked it.

The pinnacle of old white man music, an absolute classic

Eagles self-titled & debut! What a classic! There’s depth, great lyrics, vocals too. It was good! Prepare yourself for the first time listening. It’s a beautiful narrative about this group and their development through the early 70s. Solid performance. 9.1/10

Country rock

Honestly don’t know much about the eagles, so I’m going into this essentially blind. Take it easy- 6/10 easily mid Witchy woman- 5.5/10 not much to say really Chug all night- 6.5/10 best one so far Most of us are sad- 5/10 Nightingale- 7/10 first banger (added to playlist) Train leaves here this morning- 7/10 also a banger that’s been added to the playlist Take the devil- 6/10 not a bad song at all, just not for me Early bird- 6.5/10 pretty good and unique song, not sure if it’ll make it into the playlist though Peaceful easy feeling- 7/10 I like this Tryin’- 7/10 also a banger ( prob my favourite) Tryin and nightingale are defo bangers, but apart from that just a mediocre album for me. I can’t deny it’s good music, perhaps just not for me.

That was another middle-of-the-road album. Decent, but nothing special.

Típico rock de pai divorciado

Seventies as hell. This one is kinda par for the course. I've been watching a lot of '70's movies recently so this is nice to hear what was gaining popularity in the time. Other than that pretty boilerplate. The thing is it isn't bad, but 50 years on, it has been duplicated, replicated, mimicked, mocked, surpassed. Dare I say left behind. I say all this to point out that "Witchy Woman" still kicks ass. I can't hear the second half of that song as anything but regressive, but sometimes that's what ya want.

Absolutely meh. 3.5⭐

This album is easily a classic. Not necessarily an album I would choose to listen to on just any day, but a solid debut album and objectively good. My favorite track was probably Take It Easy. I love the roadtrip vibes of it. Definitely not my favorite Eagles album, but a solid contender.

Love

"Take It Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling" are really the only two tracks that stand out to me. Have never liked "Witchy Woman".

Mycket snygg ljudbild! Tycker dock sången är sådär och som helhet rätt småtrist att lyssna aktivt på. Stark tvåa!

Till skillnad från stones gubblök är det här ändå gubbmys! Lent men tyvärr ganska lättglömt. Ändå kan man föreställa sig frihetskänslan i en cabbad Camaro på Route 66 väg mot kusten 1972 med detta på fullt blås i stereon. Stark 2a!

Äntligen lite slick country-soft-rock! Klart att det blir för mycket även för mig ibland, ”most of us are sad” gränsar till ett sånt exempel. Bara doobie brothers klarar sig helskinnade ur den typen av blue eyed soul. Nä, hörrni, lite mjeh? De är överskattade, Eagles. Kalla mig tråkmåns och nejsägare, men visst är de väl ett klassiskt one hit wonder-band? Och jag fattar fan inte varför de låter någon annan än trummisen sjunga? ”Take the devil” hade varit 10 ggr bättre med hans lena stämma vid micken. Den andra sångaren låter tyvärr som jon bon jovi från temu här. ”Earlybird” var ball och bisarr. Den får 4/5 som enskild låt. Likaså avslutande ”tryin’”. I andra lyssningen poppar ”witchy woman” också. Återigen - låt trummisjäveln sjunga allt! Banjon får 5/5. Växer med en andra lyssning. Skivan är en 3a, svag.

Gubbrock! Lustig start, läppar alltid åt "Well I'm a-running down the road trying to loosen my load I've got seven women on my mind." Rätt nice men inte mer. Ganska svag trea. För att fortsätta på Bert och The Kinks hat mot studiomusiker; är det fejk? 🧐

I regndiset dyker den upp, likt ett hjortdjur i en Bauerteckning. Svängig, mjuk och betagande skön - Manskören. Sen lämnar den oss inte, och inte för en sekund tar den avstånd från sig själv. Jag tycker inte att det går att göra annat än att hylla den påklädda nakenheten. Vi är ledsna tillsammans. Vi är glada tillsammans. Vi rullar tillsammans. Vi älskar tillsammans.

Topp tre kvinnor rockgubbar gillar att sjunga om: 1. Gypsy woman 2. Witchy woman 3. Stupid girl

Inget dåligt, inget särskilt bra. Första låten sticker ut så klart. Är musiken bjäring, eller är det kanske jag? Som är bjäring. Mr. Mög Bjäring.

I tried listening to it but it's just not my style.

* Lots of country vibes 3,5/5

Classic rock album with a sprinkle of country at times. It's an older album but it definitely has the cool factor still. This album (and likely other Eagles music) definitely influenced The Lemon Twigs. Witchy Woman was a great song. Overall I really enjoyed it and would listen to it again.

Great album - I enjoyed relistening. It was interesting to learn that he lived in the apartment above Jackson Browne

Just an absolute classic. Great vocals, great guitar, great melodies, great lyrics. Honestly, probably my favorite album so far other than back in black

MOR classic

...

Loved it !!!

Well, seems like Eagles need some love here. I actually have a soft spot for them. An uncle of mine, rest his soul, was a fan. I've always liked "Take It Easy", which now reminds me of him. It's a cool album, I don't think it's worth 2 or below. I'll give it 4 because I can :)

this album reminds me of easy rider. it’s def giving motorcycle music. the rest of the album was pretty chill. nothing remarkable but it’s easy to listen to. it’s def an album I’d listen to outside or if im driving with the windows down. i noticed they had a few encouraging messages which was nice. id prob give 2 1/2 stars but i cant

I wouldn’t have thought I was an Eagles fan, but this is basically a smoother Crosby Still Nash Young album. Loved the two openers, but the middle fell off. I draw the line at birdsong and banjo. Great song to finish (or at least better than the proceeding tracks). 2/5 for the bangers.

Nice surprise 😁

The hits are well known and’s good, and some of the other songs were just ok. But overall I enjoyed the album.

Take it easy😉

The upbeat tracks standout the most but once they slow that tempo down it’s a snooze fest.

Juvenile lyrics and a deaf banjo player who seemed to forget he was pt of a band.

Classic

The Eagles eponymous debut created a whole genre of rock music. Building on rock, folk, and country roots, Eagles (before they added "The" to the name) launched the Soft Rock genre that was popular throughout the 1970s and into the 80s. The good news is that it did so with rocket launch rather than a firecracker. The three hit songs on the album, Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, and Peaceful, Easy Feeling, are still staples of classic rock today and for good reason. The evoke this image of the simple pleasure of hanging out in the Southwestern desert while pulling at the emotional strings of love, both good and bad. Besides the hit songs, the album as a whole follows that direction, weaving stories about the desert landscape with irrational women and the men who are equally irrational. It all plays like the soundtrack for a modern Western movie. Eagles is not dull or boring or sappy. It is, also not loud and frantic. So, if you are finally tired of that James Taylor dross, listen to The Eagles starting with this album. You'll groove that peaceful and easy feeling.

strong start, got a bit boring in the middle but strong again in the end!

3.

Outdated country rock that may appeal to American dads (or truckers) born in the 60s and 70s, but doesn’t speak to me on any level. I'm sure they're good at what they do, but what they do just doesn’t really interest me. The blues-rock tracks like Chug All Night are kind of fun, but all the country parts bore me, and soft ballads like Most of us Are Sad are awful. I didn’t hate it, but it's mostly because it’s too inoffensive and unoriginal to bring out any particular emotion. Just easy-listening background music that I won't remember by tomorrow. 3/10

At times difficult to listen to just because I dont' like the genre, I felt something for Witchy woman, Early birds and even the riffs in Tryin'. Good musicians too.

Slick, soupy pop-rock clearly shaped for an American audience. There are a few decent rock tracks, a bit cliche like Chug All Night and Take the Devil. Not as bad as I expected. But the choirs, the banjo, the themes… since I don’t drive much in the US recently, I don’t see myself putting this back on my turntable anytime soon.

Kompetent 60-talsrock utan toppar. En svag fyra

This album was always on repeat at my parent’s house growing up.

generally love the eagles but the singles are definitely the best part of this debut album fav : take it easy, witchy woman, nightingale

nicht schlecht aber nicht gerade meins, fande es etwas eintönig

Oh, Witch-AY Woman.

I had a rough night, and I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man!

This album is literally so so good and definitely the first one i’ve gotten so far that will go on my playlist. Holy mug 10/10

Great debut

alright

Chug All Night stood out. Go through these reviews and try not to find a Big Lebowski quote on the f'n Eagles, man. 3/5

Every song was a hit.

det finns inte riktigt nåt som utmärker det här från en massa annat som låter likadant, det har är bara... bättre än resten, men känns inte speciellt ambitiöst

Mysigt, men inte så mycket mer än det :p Soft-rock är liksom lite mesigt för mig, och inte tillräckligt många snygga stämmor :')

Inoffensive

Eagles, huh? I've heard the name before, but what subgenre of rock they belong to is anyone's guess. I'm locking in progressive rock. It was the decade for it, and the bandname makes me feel like they belong to a more artistic and slightly less commercial sound. Huh. This doesn't seem to belong to any specific genre beyond a general rock qualifier. I wasn't expecting the country influence, either. Anyway, it's decent as something to chill out to, though I wasn't really invested in the music beyond that. Seems like that's been my fate for most of the albums I've rolled lately. Am I becoming over-encumbered by a year's-worth of daily albums? The vocals are decent - very cool and appropriate for the genre. There's a decent bit of variety, too, though I never felt like the album was moving beyond its comfort zone. "Take It Easy" is a pleasing opener. Good vocals during the chorus, and I like the kick that the hammering acoustic guitar adds to the song. "Chug All Night" is vaguely familiar, though I can't pin whether I've heard it before or if it borrows a lot from the rock and roll playbook. Anyways, it's decent. Just more of the same. Book time. Some successful singles. Charted well. A testament to where the band would go. Not sold yet - over to Wikipedia I go. Helped popularise country rock. Solid critic backing. Yeah, I guess I can let this one through. I get the impression that Eagles are a big deal. I cosign this inclusion.

So I looked it up and Greatest Hits is the Eagles best selling album. That makes sense cause their album tracks are pretty meh. I also didn’t really like the hits off this album but I get why they were popular.

Some great songs on this album but "Chug All Night" dropped it from a 4.5-5 to a solid 3.5-4.

The hits hit, but the misses also miss.

Overall: 6/10 I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man. Not really, but it's impossible to listen to them without thinking about The Dude. Although, this is my first time listening to a full album instead of the three songs I always knew and had a slight fondness for. What I've learned from listening to this album is that I'm mostly indifferent to it. If this is the best they have to offer then I can understand why The Dude would loathe them so much. I like the southern feel of the album but it doesn't have the power of Lynyrd Skynyrd or the epicness of the Allman Brothers Band. The harmonies are nice but the vocals don't seem to have a lot of power overall. I'll probably add a couple of those songs to some playlists but overall it's just "okay". Fav Song: Train Leaves Here This Morning

i love the eagles bro

Great album for summer, some awesome tunes on there.

Really great album with some amazing tracks. I think this may fall just short of a 5 for me personally, as I think maybe 1 more song would need to wow me to get there. Other than that, could listen to this on repeat for a nice drive in the dessert.

Great band

Classic love it

Fairly generic dad rock. Not great, not terrible

It's mid.

It borders on almost easy-listening, but it has some solid songs that make up for the very gentle country-rock. Take it Easy and Peaceful Easy Feeling are obvious hits and I really loved Nightingale

Not my favorite of the Eagles. Started strong with the first two songs but then followed by 5 mediocre songs.

nice

Seems like 'the Dude's' opinion weighs heavy here. Although I would prefer to hold my own judgement, although 'the Dude' may have a point. Some decent songs here, peaceful east feeling etc, but quite beige.

136 Pucha que les gusta el country a estos gringos y de verdad que a mi no me pasa nada con esto. Aunque variaba entre cosas más rock, cada cosa country que me sale me hace odiarlo un poco más.

So hits on here but even those I can't stand because they've been overplayed. Also my resposibility to hate on the Eagles in all ways possible

Solid output. Not as many stand out tracks but still a decent listen. Great debut.

Easy listening

Not the greatest Eagles album; the other I rated higher I am sure.

take it easy is insane and then it kinda fizzles

It was fine

I love The Eagles, but this album isn’t it. Outside of the three hits off of this, there isn’t much here that I enjoyed. It’s their debut album and they haven’t quite found their footing yet, and it’s criminal that Don Henley is only singing two songs.

A classic rock album. A few of the tracks are timeless and the rest of the album is easy listening. The Eagles do a wonderful job of sounding like a band versus one guy singing while everyone else plays instruments. A variety of instruments and varying vocals give the tracks depth while the descriptive lyrics help draw a mental image of whatever it is they are singing about. Excellent use of 36 mins

Just rock enough to make country fans dislike it. Just country enough to make rock fans dislike it. Just Eagles enough to make me dislike it. This is waiting room music. Nobody likes that.

I don't care for the Eagles, this album did not change my mind. Take it Easy is an okay song, the rest of the album is not good. More country than rock, not my thing.

Congrats to everyone here. You've all seen The Big Lebowski. And based on that movie alone you hate the Eagles. Man. However, this freshman album from a band that would only get better and bigger who were only motivated to do this came from Linda Rondstadt herself deserves a real listen. Listent to what the status of 'Country Rock' was and where it would go. Now listen to how these mere novices arranged it to put out three massive singles that are still relevant today. 3/5

Not only did I like this album, but I loved it so much that after I finished it, I immediately put on the "Hotel California" album, listened to all of that one, and then came back and listened to about half of this one again. It starts off really strong with "Take it Easy," which is just a chill, feel-good rock song. The rest of the songs are strong on their own but also work together as an album. Nothing felt weak. Everything felt intentional. There was variety in the music but a consistency throughout. Everything seemed to fit. An easy 5 stars for me.

Nice

Good listen but no favorite

Not super interesting. The hits are all pretty great though. And there was one song ("Nightingale") which sounded exactly like a Kiss song lol

Take it Easy is a brilliant pop/rock song--hear that banjo! But I feel the dominant vibe veers too much toward easy listening. I'd have preferred the more rocky Chug and am skipping over a lot of the rest except Peaceful Easy Feeling. Listen to the great guitar in Tryin', not the sophomoric lyrics.

Bit hit and miss - very easy but mostly innocuous.

If the rest of the material was on par with the first two tracks, maybe (MAYBE) I'd have a different take on this band. But it's not. They do sing well.

I went into this with an open mind. I don't have strong feelings about these guys, and I was kind of hoping their first album would be a little more authentic or innocent or something. Nah. It mostly sucks. I don't hate Take it Easy or Peaceful Easy Feeling, but that's faint praise. The rest of it really rubbed me the wrong way. Also that album cover blows.

Andre's disdain for the Eagles has definitely rubbed off on me. But putting that aside for a moment, it's just so bland.

I'm a fan of the Eagles. But this album doesn't belong on the list. They just aren't fully baked at this point. What belong are One of These Nights (pre-Joe Walsh), and Hotel California (with Joe Walsh). Both are brilliant records. Here, the LA Country vs. Rock'N'Roll schizophrenia is distracting. Frey and Henley haven't yet matured as songwriters and Leadon and Meisner, frankly, just turn out to be bad at it. Two of the three songs worth listening to were written (at least primarily in the case of Take it Easy) by non-Eagles. The quality of the songwriting falls off a cliff after that; seriously-not-good. Frey lacks the confidence in his guitar work that roars to life on later recordings. And, incredibly, no one has realized that they have one of the greatest singers in Rock and Roll history on the risers. This album gets one star for each of the songs worth listening to.

A very solid album

Of my numerous similarities with the Dude, hating the fuckin’ Eagles, man, is not one of them. Rather, I don’t mind them. Or in some cases, I think they’re actually pretty great. There are two such cases on this album, being Witchy Woman and Take the Devil, the latter being a particular surprise. I’m not sure of their talents as a group, but Don Henley at least is undeniable. Singing and playing drums is a feat in itself, but writing Witchy Woman here and eventually my personal favourite Eagles-aligned track New York Minute in 1989 is something else entirely. I can’t say this album is very much past what you’d expect for the most successful band in America in the seventies. Something for everyone, ish. But it is no wonder they didn’t get popular over here across the Atlantic.

Cheese rock. Hyper-produced, hyper-processed to be so perfect it’s devoid of any soul. There was a brief moment where memories of childhood car journeys being brought back by the singles (dad had the greatest hits compilation that everyone has) might have earned it a second star for sentimental reasons, but any lingering goodwill was destroyed by Earlybird.

The aural equivalent of chugging a litre of beige paint. I can't even work up the energy to hate these dudes *fart noises*

p271. 1972. 2.5 stars. Perfectly acceptable but bland 70s US West Coast country/rock. They got better once Joe Walsh joined the band. Rounded down to a 2 as I am unlikely to listen to this again.

The Eagles are a classic American band, with tons of top hits through the 1970s and 1980s. This 1972 debut album focuses mostly on their laid-back California sound, and there's no doubt why Take it Easy, Witchy Woman and Peaceful Easy Feeling were chosen as the singles. The vocals are smooth and the musicianship is evident. A solid 3.5 of 5, even though the band's vibe is not my favorite thing.

It's like white bread; good, but not something I'd ever call my favorite.

3.25

This band is overrated & bland. I'm comfounded as to how they are so revered to fans & critics. 3 NOW FOR WHAT YOU REALLY WANT!!! A REVIEW OF THE BIG LEBOWSKI!!! The Coen Brothers have done it again with Jeff Bridges owning the role of constantly stoned, Creedence Lovin' slacker, Jeffery "The Dude" Lebowski. When the Dude's rug gets stolen by Nillists in a case of misidentification because another Jeffery Lebowski, a multimillionaire, is in hot water when his hot wife is kidnapped & put up for ransom. His butler (Phillip Seymour Hoffman kills this small but important role) enlists the Dude to help with the dropoff. When his bowling buddies Walter & Donny are skeptical of this ransom & Walter attempts to double cross Lebowski by switching the cash with his dirty socks. The whole thing gets botched & the Dude has to figure out what the fuck is going on. This insanely quotable, often times weird mystery is one of my favorite movies. You have John Goldman steal the movie with Walter, the weird, delusional Vietnam vet & the delightful Steve Buscemi as Donny I Am The Walrus. There's so many memorable scenes in this movie. One that involves the Eagles. After getting into a cab with the Eagles playing on the radio the Dude laments "I've had a rough night. I HATE THE FUCKING EAGLES" The cab driver promptly drags him outta his cab in a case of extreme overreaction. There's also the infamous scene which has the funniest TV edit in history. When Walter confronts the teen, Larry, with questions about where the ransom money is. He becomes frustrated with his interrogation, so he goes outside & begins to smash the kid's brand new car screaming "This is What happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass." Although it ain't the kid's car. In the TV edit he screams: THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!! FEED SCRAMBLED EGGS TO A STRANGER!! It's just such a ridiculous way of censorship. Love the movie. The Dude is totally validated in his hatred of the Eagles. Joe Walsh is cool though but not on this record. Boo.

Some good tunes, but in general shleppy country rock.

I’ll always have a soft spot for “Witchy Woman,” but aside from that, I didn’t think this album was that great. Not bad, just disappointingly mediocre. Some tracks sounded a bit like a less-good Neil Young. Favorites: Witchy Woman; Most Of Us Are Sad

Ugh

This sucks I hate to go along with the sort of hipster music critic, consensus about eagles, but it’s just soulless and too perfect I just can’t with this stuff

This was reeeally good. I think this is a better one than their Hotel Calironia record. It sound amazing for its age and I think there aren’t any skips on it. Want to revisit, listen again to this one.

rly good 4

There are some big hits on here and very care free feel to the entire thing. Iconic sound regardless of whether I love it or not. Rating: 3.8

A bit too much Country Rock for my taste, but endurable. Besides Take It Easy., there's nothing really outstanding on this album.

Peak. Almost perfect, but regardless still insanely good. Eagles are always great.

Great harmonies

Like the Dude said: "I fucking hate the Eagles, man". Well I don't however this was quite a boring experience, enjoyable, but boring nevertheless. I guess this is just the middle of the road for me, not to terrible but nothing to write home about. Probably 3 stars.

# Album Name: Eagles # Artist: Eagles # Rating: 4/5 # Comments: Not a bad album. Few good tunes. Doesnt hit the highs. Low 4 # Top Tunes: Take it easy # Would I listen to it again? yea

A polished and easygoing debut that helped define the California country-rock sound of the 1970s. 𝘛𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘐𝘵 𝘌𝘢𝘴𝘺 is the clear standout — one of those songs everyone has heard at least once, even if they didn’t realize it was by the Eagles. The rest of the album is pleasant and well-played, but it rarely rises above that; everything sounds smooth and competent, yet nothing truly surprises.

Amazing album Their second best but amazing nonetheless No skips

not my cup of tea!

Very good album. 8,5/10

The hits from the album have been played to the point of exhaustion for 50 years now, so it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that the Eagles could have felt new when this album was first released. When revisiting their debut album this time, I tried to put myself in the frame of mind that I would have had I first heard this in 1972. This wasn’t the band whose greatest hits record had outsold every album but Thriller; this was a group formed from Linda Ronstadt’s backing band with plenty to prove. And with that being the case, I view this as an uneven but promising introduction to what would become one of the defining bands in American music. More than anything, this album succeeds at creating a sound that captures the essence of a breezy Southern California day. It’s not the surf music of the Beach Boys early days - this has a clear country flavor. They take cues from Crosby Stills Nash and Young and some of the other folk rock groups of the time, but there’s something distinctly Californian about it; you can’t help but picture open road through the desert, the sun beating down. Take It Easy is a classic for good reason - more than any other song on this album or throughout their discography, it is the clearest distillation of this sound and feel. Peaceful Easy Feeling offers a slightly softer take on this sound as well, with Nightingale being a third offering that feels a bit fresher at this point. The other major hit from this record, Witchy Woman, served as an interesting detour sonically, incorporating a darker sound and more accusatory lyrics than many of their other songs. However, while the hits deserve the air time they have received over the years, the album is pulled down somewhat by the throwaway tracks, which make up nearly half the songs. Most Of Us Are Sad and Train Leaves Here This Morning are snoozers that do very little for me. Meanwhile, Chug All Night, one of the band’s attempts at a rocker, is an early indication of a deficiency that would hamper the Eagles in their early years - they have no bite at this stage. Take The Devil, with Randy Meisner on vocals, has the most edge of anything on the album, but it doesn't compensate for the softness of much of the rest of the album, and it was a while before the Eagles returned to anything with that feel. In the end, the Eagles gave us a strong but imperfect debut effort. At its worst, the Eagles gave a tutorial on how to put the "soft" in "soft rock". Musically, there isn't anything revolutionary going on here. But the peaks of the album are career-defining successes that I, along with so many others, will keep coming back to for a very long time.

these guys rule

The singles from this album are amazing, iconic even….the rest not so much (or at all really). Earlybirds in particular was very odd and I didn’t care for that one at all. Overall decent, but not great.

If The Eagles were a colour they'd be a pale grey.

Classicly 70s rock, it was OK but not overly exciting

7/10

Very solid Album

Vapid, soulless dreck.

7/10

One’s operative theory of the Eagles is that they were hugely lucky, “happened to be in right time at right place” recipients of a force, a vibe, that was so large and momentous that it could elevate such middlebrow blandness to stardom, when the Byrds, Burritos, etc. etc. were more deserving of the fame, of the fortune. They are something like CSNY-light, in other words. Not that this terrible – the bookended songs are easy to like, especially, as peaceful (and easy) listening music for taking it easy times. There are also the cooing harmonies (see CSNY-light) on “Most of Us Are Sad.” But there’s also plenty of vintage bad and greasy-licked 70s party rock – “Chug All Night,” which is Thin Lizzy with country choruses, basically, and the dreck-y, middlin, tight-t-shirt, winged hair and moustaciohed rock of “Tryin.’” Never truly transcends blandness and rounding down as they’ve always seemed pretty outrageously overrated.

Ah... Eagles. Who doesn't like Eagles? Michael and the Dude. I love "Take it Easy" and "Peaceful Easy Feeling." Love them. "Witchy Woman" is a great Halloween Eve vibe. I read that this made people feel really happy after the tumultuous times of the 60s. Need our Eagles now. At least we have the Eagles.

It started off promisingly and I thought that it was going to be really good. It was quite good. At least that effing song wasn't here and it's cool to have listened to so many Eagles songs without hearing that one. It's got a groove. 3 or 4? 3, I guess. But a close 4

Boring

Consistent and easily lovable folk rock album by a classic band.

Yeah, I mean, it's fine but it's not great

Great

Don’t use a Big Lebowski quote. Don’t use a Big Lebowski quote. Don’t use a … Gahhh! “Man, c’mon. I had a rough night, and I hate the fucking Eagles, man.” 4/5 Highlights: Chug All Night Nightingale Earlybird

Some stellar harmonies!

Nice

Its a decent album. Country pop rock but well writen and the songs all compliment each other making sense which although not for me I can say its a great album. Maybe a bit too repetitiveish but probably their best album Ive heard so far

Inoffensive airport rock

The hits are great, but a bit dull after that.

470/1001

I liked them better when Linda Ronstadt was the lead singer.

Great album. Even if it’s the fucking Eagles, man!

A chilled easy going collection of songs perfect for a Sunday afternoon. With the exception of "Most of us are Sad" (where this album loses a point) the songs pleasantly chug along. Exceptional for a debut album. Oh and "The Dude" is a cunt.

The Eagles accomplish a rare feat on their debut. Despite being among the early figures in L.A. country-rock, they somehow managed to create its most generic iteration right out of the gate. Chapeau. You’ve got to give it to them. While not everything here is actually bad (if you’re under the impression that the “better” parts sound a lot like Jackson Browne, it’s because he (co-)wrote two songs and seemingly was a strong influence), all in all it’s just boilerplate, utterly boring songwriting and downright awful lyrics. A well-deserved 1.

Upbeat country - a little honky tonk heavy for me.

Just really dull

When the Coen brothers were making The Big Lebowski, they reached out to the musical genius – who has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison and Willie Dixon – to help them curate a suitable music taste for The Dude. It was Burnett’s suggestion that he should hate The Eagles. Why not? Burnett f–king hated them, too, man. He even went as far as to tell Rolling Stone that they contributed to killing the counterculture movement: “[The Eagles] sort of single-handedly destroyed that whole scene that was brewing back then.” So, how did they kill the scene, and how was that even relevant for a film set in the 1990s? Well, as it happens, a few years prior to the release of the movie, the Eagles hit the headlines as the first rock band to charge over $100 for tickets. Seeing as though The Dude hailed from a place of hippie idealism, parcelling simplified peace and love with a price tag that lofty was an awful duality to straddle as a band. The irony of a platitude like ‘Peaceful Easy Feeling’ – a song that strips the counterculture movement of any of its pointed intent and merely serves it up as a lukewarm laidback lark with an incense addiction – was bound to get on his nerves almost because it’s simply pleasant cab ride music. Burnett saw this as diluting the era down to its most commercial elements and serving it up for cash. He even used his hatred of the band to leverage song rights deals for the Coen brothers film later down the line. He wanted to use Townes Van Zandt’s cover of The Rolling Stones’ ‘Dead Flowers’ to close the movie, but he encountered contractual issues as their manager, Allen Klein was asking for a budget-busting $150,000. But Burnett convinced him to watch the first cut of the film, and he recalls: “It got to the part where the Dude says, ‘I hate the fuckin’ Eagles, man!’ Klein stands up and says, ‘That’s it, you can have the song!’ That was beautiful.”

Amazing n single but the rest sucked

Listened to in the car while driving to Jollys Geelong. Very good but lacks some hits for 5 stars. The Eagles best song is on this album - Take It Easy

Album 931 of 1089 Eagles - Eagles (1972) Rating : 4 / 5 A classic first flight from one of America’s all-time great bands. the debut from one of the greatest American bands to ever plug in a guitar. It’s hard to argue with how strong this one starts - “Take It Easy” kicks things off in iconic fashion, setting the tone for the band’s signature blend of rock, country, and harmony. While the album doesn’t quite maintain that same peak throughout, it’s still an absolute dandy from front to back. You can really hear the beginnings of what would become one of the most enduring sounds in rock history - that laid-back California vibe mixed with just enough grit and storytelling to make it timeless. Songs like “Peaceful Easy Feeling” and “Witchy Woman” still sound every bit as good today. A fantastic start to a legendary career.

Has a few really popular songs, but I was never a fan of the country rock genre. Seems way over rated.

Incredible harmonies, great songs, and a mega hit for their first album is pretty cool. Very Crosby stills and Nash instead of the guitar heroes they become later. Couple of songs on here don’t hold the interest all the way through but overall it’s a very solid debut.

Solid listen. Like all Eagles records the quality varies throughout the record but here most of the songs land pretty well. Take it Easy will always be one of my favorite 70s rock songs and I will sing along everytime i hear it. The middle of this record did feel like it sagged a little bit, but then we got Peaceful Easy Feeling and everything was good again. I'm feeling a 4/5

No thank you

This was pleasant enough. But let me use this space to insist you track down the 2013 documentary, "History of the Eagles." *chef's kiss*

Classic sunset in America country desert rock

Coke

Some classics, but it's the Eagles - for good or ill.

These lists have shown me that I would really like The Eagles if I dug in deep. This is just really cool chilled poppy rock.

Chill classic rock

So bland and devoid of any feeling, it actually made me angry.

Blah. Better than hotel California I guess.

*Insert quote from The Big Lebowski about hating the fucking Eagles here* Its fine. Nothing really to write home about. "Take it Easy" is a bop.

Not much to say really just kinda average

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that I hate the fuckin’ Eagles (man), but they’re a hard band to love. Take It Easy aside, there’s something charmless about this album.

The early classes. Pretty good!

Back in the mid 90s, I worked at the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC), which was an apitheater in upstate NY (really great place). The Eagles came one summer and I distinctly remember them being the first act ever to charge over $100 for tickets inside the ampitheater (seats on the lawn were less). Then they proclaimed they wouldn't take the stage until all of the ampitheater seats were filled, even though it was their fault that they weren't since they were charging so much. The SPAC staff was literally going to people on the lawn to give them tickets to go into the ampitheater seating. So while they might be a really talented band, it's safe to say their egos bother me. What follows might have a bit of bias, no doubt, as a result. This album is fine. Cool that they had a couple of big hits from this record, especially when they were just starting out. But it's far from a mindblowing album, especially when you hear songs like Chug All Night or others that are mediocre at best. The fact is they have written a ton of great songs over the years (Hotel California, I Can't Tell You Why, Life In The Fast Lane), but this album contains only a few songs that are worth listening to, and really only one that is great in Take It Easy. It might have been a vital album after the challenging 60s, but it doesn't sound like it has stood the test of time for me. Pretty average.

Come on man! I had a rough night and I FUCKING HATE THE EAGLES MAN!

I got a peaceful easy feeling listening to this album!

I've never listened to this album (24). It's the Eagles.

Eagles for beagles.

I'm always impressed with how polished some of these debut albums sound from these now-famous rock bands. Take the first track "Take It Easy" for example, the cohesion and collective harmonies from the group sound like that of a seasoned rock n roll outfit. The production and recording helps in that regard too, and Glyn Johns captured the group well. It's easy-going, country-folk rock that you don't necessarily have to hate just because "The Dude" hates 'em. I think they have better albums, but this was a good start with a few signature early hits.

Nice, but not very special, quite safe. Music quality is crisp, well-recorded, but barely any songs stand out for me. Could happily listen on repeat in the background, but not much more. Take It Easy is pretty good though. 3.6/5

The epitome of dad rock, as such, so so

As soon as I saw this album was next up, I let out an audible groan. But I honestly enjoyed it way more than I expected. I listened to the 2013 remaster, and it sounds pretty darn clean and fresh. It's what I'd snobbishly refer to as 'middle of the road', but it's still nice. Favourite tracks: Take It Easy, Witch Woman, Most Of Us Are Sad, Earlybird.

Surprisingly hella chill

Insane first album.

Gullbylgjan.

Uno escucha "Eagles" y enseguida piensa en Hotel California, o con un poco más de conocimiento, en Tequila Sunrise. Pero éste, el album debut de los Eagles, no tiene entre sus tracks a alguno de esos exitazos. Este disco es el inicio de una banda que marcaría la historia y que deja ver perfectamente por qué llegaron hasta donde lo hicieron. El álbum es espectacular. La variedad de temas y ritmos; las interpretaciones, los arreglos, el sentimiento que domina cada canción, me dejó muy impresionado. Discazo.

me llamo la atención, nunca los había escuchado y me resultó un sonido casi como esperanzador o que me lleva a un lugar mejor pero no se si es algo que escucharía a menudo

3 all time tunes and a bunch of stuff I never heard before for a reason.

Solid offering by the eagles bringing country and rock together on an album that sounds consistently great start to finish and doesn't get boring.

Take it Easy - good song! The rest is solid country rock. The Eagles will only get more “yacht rock cocaine” from here, so I guess that means this is my favourite Eagles album.

Enjoyable.

Lots of this is not very good--derivative country rock swiped from someone like Graham Parsons with numerous less than memorable songs--and I know it's cool to hate the Eagles. But I give one star for hearing these songs on the sweaty fake leather knocking around town in the 70s summers of my mom's beat up Chevy Malibu station wagon. And another star for the Eagles greatest hits tape that seemed always to be stuck in the tape player of my girlfriend's indestructible Honda in the late 80s.

It was fun hearing The Eagles becoming themselves on this album. I had a little trouble deciding if the overall vibe was a tiny bit lacklustre or whether it was just mellow in that early 70s way. 3.5 would be my preferred rating.

Better than Eminem, at least

"Man, come on. I had a rough night and I hate the fuckin' Eagles, man!"

Great album

Californian ezy-rock my least favourite musical form!

I was honestly expecting better. The first two songs are masterclasses in song making. Take it Easy and Witchy Woman have such chill vibes, great instrumentation, and catchy choruses. But the rest of the album is pretty forgettable.

I already knew and loved a couple songs off this album but I found that most of it faded into the background while I was listening. I would give it another shot.

Excellent album from start to end

The warm production and the smooth singing and playing allow this album to have a comfy sound which is the only redeemable quality of it. Very boring and very bland. The first songs might be decent, but after that, it becomes stale very quickly, except that the song 'Earlybird' is kind of interesting thanks to its different chord progression and use of banjo. Also, today I have to share an hotel room with my parents. My father snores as loud as a lawnmower, so I had a rough night and I hate the Eagles.
