This is by far the best of the LROOE songs we've heard, but it's still generic.

yeah not too bad (well, until the sax solo) and the chorus is actually memorable. Lyric seems to have been composed of cut-up greeting cards, but hey, by the standards of this album so far, it's grade A. Congrats, Glenn Frey: after 40 years, you've written a sorta-okay song by yrself!

I take it we're all at home listening to....

Still not sure you want it?

the sleeve of the debut album, EAGLES, will finally be released as the band originally intended, with no glue flaps

eagles in the wild: "hotel california" on the instore sound system while hanging at the tonic & juice bar at erewhon in los angeles, which is basically LA multiplied by LA raised to the power of LA.

the sleeve of the debut album, EAGLES, will finally be released as the band originally intended, with no glue flaps

a cosmic injustice finally rectified

Saw a Halloween concert in the parking lot of a local market and while it was an original, the song the band played after their cover of Van Morrison's "Wild Night" was nearly a carbon copy of "Witchy Woman". Without a doubt the Eagles song was performed at some point during the day.

"No More Cloudy Days": Has a nice 80s AC vibe (down to the outro sax). Henley should use brushes more often. Listening to this, I'm picturing an older couple linking hands from their separate outdoor bathtubs as I also hear a warning to seek medical help if your erection last more than four hours...

Well.

So much for the cloud imagery.

well, yeah

"Fast Company"

OK. I'm scared to listen to this.

I had a dream last night that I was a volunteer at a high school football game & I was selling this special edition Pop Secret popcorn that was in a green colored bag with yes on it and all the money raised went to Don Henley's Walden Woods charity & some of the Republican parents were upset that we were allowed to sell it at a high school event

Green colored bag with TREES on it

hahaha i was hoping the bag just had the word YES all over it
YES charity popcorn

Okay, I had a world of trouble trying to get this one to load. I compromised and found a some Russian radio site that had the song up as a sound file. The only problem is it was part of some huge Eagles radio retrospective and it had DJs talking over alot of it.

Anyway, "Fast Company": Slap Bass! Donster Falsetto! Brittle Funk! Have they been listening to some Cameo or even Prince during their hiatus? Nice horn chart. A good change of pace in this tracklisting.

Also upon further research, I've noticed the Russian Radio Guys did the smart thing and faded the song 45 seconds early.

I want to hear more Nicks-Prince stories!

metacafe? this end run of songs is turning up video sites that I didn't know existed.

yesterday's Russian site was only loading for me in five-second fragments: so i heard a bass drum, a Henley bleat, 20 secs of silence, another Henley grunt. Figured that was as good a way to hear "fast company" as any.

today's song is a drag x 20. Tim Schmit's voice is just ghastly: he sounds like a schoolmarm. It's enough that when Henley barges in towards the end, it's a blessing. wow this record is the pits.

lol @ bleat/grunt

going to that russian site made me feel kind of yucky and i couldn't get it to work either
i guess is the last big hill, and i think i'll wait for y'all down here because there is no way i am going further out of my way to hear another one of these songs than i already have
i would describe their sound as "flabby".

oops missing *this after guess
i am repulsed by the eagles just that much

i knew this last leg would be rough but man i really can't wait for this to be over. you guys might have to do solo henley without me.

here ya go.... new one! "We get into his purple Camaro and bomb out onto the freeway at 100mph. I'm terrified, but kind of excited, too"

She said faster, faster -- the lights are turning red.

"We get into his purple Camaro and bomb out onto the freeway at 100mph.

You can take the man out of Chanhassen, but...

i guess is the last big hill, and i think i'll wait for y'all down here because there is no way i am going further out of my way to hear another one of these songs

come on man, we're going to need all hands on deck when we hit the 10-minute-plus title song

i dunno. i was having a pretty good morning, enjoying a variety of feelies covers, generally on an optimistic trajectory and then i checked this thread and saw the picture (loled) and tried to listen to the song, but it didn't play immediately and i just felt like "i'm seriously supposed to wait for even 1 more second to hear this song by the EAGLES when i could be doing something that makes me feel good about myself and my life?" and i gave up
what have they done lately to earn even one more minute of my time? i have enjoyed clowning around with y'all, that has been pleasant, but these songs? guuuuuuuuuuh so awful.
at least the last one i heard was awful

"do something" sounds like a christopher cross discard.

Do Something is the musical equivalent of hospital food.

I couldn't get the sketchy Bulgarian (Google said it was in Bulgarian) site to load.

I couldn't get today's link to load. i found a thirty second preview clip on another and all I can say is "Bland Country". I also found the lyrics in French:

Traduction et explication de la chanson Do Something :
{Fais quelque chose}

J'ai marché à travers les champs

Et dans les rues de la ville

Essayant de donner un sens à ce que tu m'a laissé

Tout ce que je croyais

Je n'y crois plus
Et maintenant il semble que le monde tout entier soit devenu fou

Mais quand je me sens près à abandonner
Et que je suis prêt à partir
Dans le calme, je peux entendre
Une voix en moi me dire

Fais quelque chose
Fais quelque chose
Il est trop tard pour se sauver
Ne reste pas planté là, prends l'espace
Pourquoi ne fais tu rien ?
Fais quelque chose
Ce n'est pas fini
Non, ce n'est jamais trop tard

Tu étais toujours à mes côtés
L'amour était tout ce qu'on avait
Maintenant je m'assois et regarde notre amour s'envoler
Je ramasse le journal
Toutes les nouvelles sont mauvaises
Comment en sommes nous arrivés là ?

Mais quand je me sens prêt à abandonner
Et qu'il n'y a nul part où aller
Ces moments où je m'enfonce
La chose que je sais

Fais quelque chose
Fais quelque chose
N'abandonne pas pour quelqu'un d'autre
Ne te sens pas désolé pour toi même
Pourquoi ne fais tu pas quelque chose ?
Fais quelque chose
Ce n'est pas fini
Non, ce n'est jamais trop tard

Cours
Tu peux courir pour toujours
Pour ton honneur
Pour ta fierté
Tu dormiras mieux
Tu auras essayé

De faire quelque chose
Fais quelque chose
C'est si simple
Tu n'est pas prêt pour la chaise roulante
Lève toi et fais quelque chose
Fais quelque chose
N'attends pas trop longtemps
Même si ce n'est pas bon
Tu dois faire quelque chose
Fais quelque chose
Ce n'est pas fini
Non, ce n'est jamais trop tard

Oh wait, now it decides to load. Damn, Schmidt, don't you know you used to be in Poco? And you also sang with Gene Clark? And were partially responsible for one of the only songs on this thread to encourage near-universal love? "Do Something"? DO SOMETHING ELSE!!!!!

BTW, this is where I found a loadable copy of "Fast Company". The page is in Vietnamese. We lost the war, they give us Eagles Funk.

wow fast company is horrible! the worst yet maybe!

the backing track sounds like a sample track that you would get in vide tutorial on how to use recording software

hilarious that it's so difficult to find this megaselling recent album online

holy hell, "Fast Company" is atrocious. How was something like this on a #1 platinum-selling album in 2007? What an indictment: of everyone, the Eagles and America. When I'm an old crock and some kid asks me: "George W. Bush? how did that happen, old man?" i'll tell her to listen this piece of crap (which'll probably still only be available via Vietnamese bootleggers) and gape-mouthed millennial America will reveal itself to her.

it would make sense that Frey admired R. Kelly's...habits.

can't believe i'm writing this, but Frey is by far the best thing about this shipwreck of an album. This is another pleasant, even hummable mediocrity: i'll take it, gladly

I agree – this is an innocuous ditty but in that it's not charmless.

the next song is another solo songwriting credit, also not terrible

Some of us are abandoning ship with this album. Alfred can't wait for the next track and is skipping ahead!

Yeah, now that there's no "Take It To The Limit" or "I Can't Tell You Why" to look forward to, I'm running for the lifeboats.

You guys can't leave me. You can't.

totally not terrible, and i'd rate it a step above "innocuous ditty." it's a perfectly ok little folky throwback that could have been written and recorded in pretty much any of the past five decades, and if rayna jaymes' daughter sang it while lounging around in their bedroom on an episode of "nashville," it would totally work.

also of note: it's less than two and a half minutes long.

also: for the first 10 or so seconds of those two and a half minutes, i thought they were about to break into "dust in the wind."
