...Long Run is also what bogs it down. In abandoning the slick mediocrity of Hotel California, the Eagles have sacrificed the unity of their previous albums. The old style was wearing thin, but it was the Eagles; and its only vestige is the desperado voice of Don Henley. The new cuts have more depth, but they point in many different directions...
...Eagles, one of America's top-selling acts (their last album, 1976's Hotel California, sold 12 million copies worldwide), have been popular favorites even as they have endured some tough drubbing from the critics. The group, particularly Co-Writers Don Henley and Glenn Frey, have been taking it on the chin for such presumed transgressions as coldness, stylistic calculation and lyrical arrogance.

He decided to go for the green and bombed a 245-yd. shot with his Pederson three-wood that drifted over the bunker guarding the right side of the green and the ball landed 15 feet from the pin. After that resounding shot, he had no trouble making his four...
