1001 Albums Generator - Eagles - Hotel California

 Album 4

Hotel California

by Eagles

I'm glad that this album was chosen because I have listened to it on a variety of systems over the years but the one thing I never did was plug headphones in and listened while I spun the vinyl. I've played it in my car and on a CD player but putting the remastered version on with high end noise cancelling headphones presented a new experience. One where each member of the band is able to breath on it's own. And that proves the reason this record is timeless and one for the ages. 

That said, it gets really sloggy in the middle. One mid-tempo beer fest raise your lighters track after another.

Boy is this thing front loaded...

3.75 out of 5
