  The Eagles - The Long Run | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
Recorded nearly twenty years ago but sounding only a little bit dated, The Long Run is the sound of one of classic rock's most misunderstood bands at both its creative peak and its demise.
Though the album is excellent for the most part, it is easier to view as a collection of individual songs than as a cohesive statement.
The title song, which opens the album, is musically traditional Eagle faire, Don Henley's gutsy vocals over a southern-rock style guitar and a drive-you-into-the-ground 4/4 rhythm, but listen to the words and you know the band has grown up.

 Rolling Stone : The Long Run : Review
The Long Run, the Eagles first album in three years, is a chilling and altogether brilliant evocation of Hollywood's nightly Witching Hour, that nocturnal feeding frenzy first detailed by Warren Zevon on his haunting Asylum debut (Warren Zevon, 1976) and the equally powerful Excitable Boy.
Overall, The Long Run is a synthesis of previous macabre Eagles motifs, with cynical new insights that are underlined by slashing rock & roll.
The Long Run closes with "The Sad Café," a dirgelike hymn to the Troubadour, the legendary Los Angeles saloon that sheltered the Eagles and so many of their cohorts in their scuffling days, providing a stage on which they could express themselves, and a bar at which they could forget themselves.

 The Daily Vault Album Reviews : The Long Run
Recorded nearly 20 years ago but sounding hardly dated at all, The Long Run is the sound of one of classic rock's most misunderstood bands at both its creative peak and its demise.
The album often tried a little too hard, though; while excellent for the most part, it is easier to view as a collection of individual songs than as a cohesive statement.
The title song, which opens the album, is musically traditional Eagles faire, Don Henley's gutsy vocals over a southern-rock style guitar and a drive-you-into-the-ground 4/4 rhythm, but listen to the words and you know the band has grown up.

 Channel4.com - SlashMusic - Long Run, The   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
THE LONG RUN, the Eagles' long-awaited follow-up to their hugely successful HOTEL CALIFORNIA, was the celebrated group's final studio album.
By the time THE LONG RUN was released in early 1979, the laid-back West Coast rock scene that The Eagles had dominated throughout the decade had pretty much run its course.
While similar in feel to HOTEL CALIFORNIA, THE LONG RUN is a far more diverse album that features an immaculately crafted set of songs ranging from the soulful pop of the Don Henley-sung title track and "I Can' t Tell You Why" to tough, country-influenced rocker "Heartache Tonight" and the epic, dynamic "In The City".

 Eagles May 23rd, 1982 Article
But the pressures of living up to the expectations of that album caused such tension in the band that work on the follow-up LP, "The Long Run," was a virtual nightmare.
Henley's album, "I Can't Stand Still," won't be ready until July, but it shapes up as a starker selection of tunes, closer to the "Hotel California"-like urgency of the Eagles than some of the more caressing touches of Frey's LP.
In the album's title song, they first dealt with the struggle between idealism and corruption that was going to characterize so much of their work, cloaking it this time in romantic imagery that linked the independence of a rock singer with an Old West gunfighter..

The band would break up not long after their tour to support the album and the song is an appropriate final chapter to one of the biggest bands of all time.
While the surface of this album seems to represent unevenness and a lack of clarity, when you understand how the band was growing apart, it actually reads more as a defining moment in their history - and a fitting conclusion to their days of recording in the studio together.
I picked this album up, expecting the same level of quality as past Eagles albums (such as the thrilling Desperado), however, it seems the only quality songs on this album are the hits, which can be just as easily obtained by purchasing the Hits Volume II, a much better album.

 The Long Run (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The album was originally intended to be a double album to be released in 1978 but was instead demoted to a single album.
Some of the bits in "Long Run Leftovers" were resurrected by Joe Walsh on "Rivers (Of the Hidden Funk)" from 1981's There Goes the Neighborhood and "Told You So" on 1983's You Bought It, You Name It.
When released in September of 1979, The Long Run debuted at #2 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart and a week later hit #1 dethroning Led Zeppelin's In Through The Out Door and was the last #1 album of the 1970s where it reigned for eight weeks.

The Long Run is by far the Eagles' worst albums.
The first song is The Long Run a good song with a good sax solo at the end.
This is the worst Eagles album but it does have some excellent songs so I believe it is worth it although if you like the country side of the Eagles more you probably won't like it as much.

 Eagles - The Long Run
the Eagles first album in three years, is a chilling and altogether brilliant evocation of Hollywood's nightly Witching Hour, that nocturnal feeding frenzy where the desperado and the ghoul are employed as antiromantic symbols of the star caught in the devil's bargain.
But it slowly comes apparent that the "long run" is a metaphor for a host of secret concerns and passions that are either career- or relationship- oriented.
Clustered around the bar, the Eagles admit that the long run was never a roll of the dice as much as a conscious attempt to outrace their demons.

The Long Run, Heartache Tonight and In The City are good, and I Can't Tell You Why is ok, but...
The Long Run is a MUST purchase for any Eagles fan who likes the rockier sounding songs.
Joe Walsh's "The Long Run" is a great rock song, albeit not originally an Eagles song, and Henley's "The Sad Café" is pretty good as well, as is the funny, lightweight rocker "The Greeks Don't Want No Freaks".
