The Longrun is an Eagles tune of their sixth studio album.
In 1979 Rolling Stone wrote, “General, The Lengthy Run is a synthesis of earlier macabre Eagles motifs, with cynical new insights which are underlined by slashing rock & roll…(it) is a bitter, wrathful, tough report, stuffed with piss and vinegar and poisoned expectations. As a result of it’s steeped in contemporary, dangerous materials and unflinching self-examination, it’s additionally the Eagles’ finest work in lots of, a few years.”[14]The Globe and Mail decided that “the Eagles’ fawning synthesis of varied sorts of rock and that roll sits much less effectively the smoother it will get.”[15] The New York Instances acknowledged that The Lengthy Run “is neatly balanced amongst commonplace Eagles rockers, somewhat shallow social commentary, ballads and novelty numbers,” and famous that the band’s “imply streak” has “by no means been so obvious.”
Reviewing the album retrospectively in AllMusic, critic William Ruhlmann wrote that the album was a “main disappointment, although it offered a number of million copies and threw off three hit singles,” including that the album “reportedly was deliberate as a double album earlier than being truncated to a single disc.
