Review: The Eagles

Long Road Out of Eden (Universal)

There's something strangely reassuring about an Eagles record ... I say strange because the US supergroup have never really pushed the boat out musically - they're a safe pair of hands, with plenty of commercial success but little invention.

Indeed, many might say music's Mr Reliables are more yawn-sters than monsters of rock. Nevertheless, like the aroma of your mother's home cooking or the smell of freshly mown grass, listening to The Eagles is a comforting memory of youth that refuses to go away.

And it is a case of 'safety first' yet again on their new album, Long Road Out of Eden, reportedly their last.

Best are the epic title track and What Do I Do With My Heart.

So there's good and bad news for fans and non-fans alike ... the band haven't changed a bit and the band haven't changed a bit!

Your Horoscopes by Russell Grant

Taurus:

An embarrassing secret will come to light, affecting your reputation. Somebody who once admired you will now turn away in dismay. Instead of trying to win their affection again, lay low for a wee while. You'll make a much better impression by letting your actions speak for themselves. There is a chance this relationship is beyond redemption. If your former friend decides to keep their distance, you will have no other choice than to respect their feelings. Better luck next time.More
