Hard to single any out, but I especially like:

No more walks in the wood
Busy being fabulous
I don't want to hear any more
Waiting in the weeds (VERY cool song IMO)
No more cloudy days
Long road out of Eden
Last good time in town

Me. I've listened to it -- a bit. Too much Take It Easy, not enough Hotel California.

I can live with that. The arrangements and harmonies are striking.

I might torrent it some day in the distant future (hypothetically obviously ), just for the sake of keeping my discography complete, but it's not worth my money AFAIAC.

A few of the songs have substance and sort of grow on you after several hearings, but on the whole this is certainly no "Hotel California" nor "Desperado".

The voices, talent and know-how are still there ; the inspiration, less so. IMHO.

Hmm. Odd I see plenty of inspiration in the social and environmental causes being championed. Maybe you're confusing energy with inspiration?

Personally I don't begrudge a bunch of 50 and 60 year old guys doing the "Take it Easy" style on a 20-song disk. I sure wasn't expecting "Life in the Fast Lane", and just glad they're not "Already Gone".
