 One Of The Best Albums Of The 70's Jan 08, 2000
Along with "Hotel California",it ranks as one of the finest 70's rock albums.The fact that the album tracks(Too Many Hands,Hollywood Waltz,Visions,After The Thrill Is Gone,the weirdly gorgeous Journey Of The Sorcerer instrumental)are actually better than the three overplayed-but-still-awesome hits(Take It To Limit,Lyin' Eyes,One Of These Nights)only testifies this record's musical excellance!Its no wonder why it turned The Eagles into a household name!

The Eagles' first US #1 album 32 years later Nov 07, 2007
By Terrence J. Reardon
"Classic rock and old school metal master"
The Eagles' fourth album One Of These Nights was released in June of 1975.
Like its predecessor, was produced by Bill Szymczyk and has the same band lineup as the previous album.
The opening title track, which was a #1 hit for the band, is a rock song with a funk/soul feel which was described as disco-like but it's not a disco number and featured a dynamic vocal from Don Henley whom sang normal in the first two verses and at the end goes into Barry Gibb mode with the falsetto at the end of the track. Next is bass player Randy Meisner's "Too Many Hands", written by himself along with guitarist Don Felder (a bit of an odd couple, but it's a superb mid-tempo rocker with killer guitar solos from Felder and guitarist/keyboardist Glenn Frey). The countryish "Hollywood Waltz", which was the only song written by Frey, Henley and guitarist Bernie Leadon and was, bless them, a real waltz. Don's vocal was great and has more superb falsetto work from Henley at the end of the track and the song was the first Eagles track to have a synthesizer. The first half ends with Bernie's first of two contributions, the wild but stately 7-minute instrumental "Journey Of The Sorcerer" which was a superb piece of music.
The second half of the album starts with the second single "Lyin' Eyes", which was one of Glenn's best songs and one of few 6 minute tracks to top the charts and is a great country-rocker. Next was "Take It To The Limit", a grand and melodious stop-and-go ballad, sung by Meisner whom gave his best vocal performance on this track. The album's hardest rock song "Visions" had guitarist Felder's sole lead vocal which was co-written with Henley. Next, was "After the Thrill is Gone" which was sung by Frey and Henley and was a superb ballad about breaking up. The album closes with Leadon's second of two contributions, the ballad "I Wish You Peace", which ironically was his last song with the band as he would leave in late 1975.
This album was the band's first #1 album here in the States.
I first got this classic on cassette when I was nine and have the remastered CD and this remastered CD buries the original album!
Highly recommended!

Overall, the Eagles' best effort Jul 08, 2002
'One of these nights' is the Eagles' best album to date. While most Eagles albums are spotty through out, this one stands strong.
Several hits came out of this record, including "Lyin' eyes", "Take it to the limit" and the title track. Although, there are more than hits included here as well. "After the thrill is gone" is a great song. Don Felder's only lead vocal contribution, "Visions" is one of the album's finer moments. And the slow "I wish you peace" builds to a fitting conclusion for the album.
Even some of the odd, or weak songs are pretty good. "Too many hands", and "Hollywood waltz" get better the more you listen to them. And the instrumental "Journey of the Sorcerer" is just different enough to keep your attention.
If there is a true Eagles album to have (not including any of their 'Greatest hits' packages) this is the one. Anyone interested in the Eagles, if you started off here, you won't regret it.

Album that confirmed the Eagles were FOR REAL... Sep 08, 2003
By Biff
Having listened extensively to every Eagles album, I think that One of These Nights is the deepest, as in the number of quality songs for one album. There are very contrasting styles, such as an R&B feel to "One of These Nights", and a more country feel to "Lyin' Eyes". Still, the Eagles show on this album as good as any other that they are one of the best harmonizing groups ever. Most of the songs of this album demostrate that they can bring all the vocal talents together in a blend that is good enough to showcase what they have, but not too over-the-top as to drown out each other or over-reach the material. On "Take It to the Limit", Randy Meisner shows that he can not only sing lead, but sound great doing it. On many reviews I have read, not much attention is paid to the song "Visions". In my opinion it was one of the best Eagles songs ever recorded, because it is a very unique sound for the group at this time, and they pull it off greatly. "Too Many Hands" has Native American undertones, and "After the Thrill is Gone" is an excellent ballad, sung alternately by Henley and Frey. The main thing that makes this album great is the fact that the Eagles focused on newer material and mastered it, as is evident with the contrasting songs on this album, and the outstanding job the band did on the majority of them.

If It Weren't For Douglas Adams, I Wouldn't Be An Eagles Fan Sep 02, 2003
When I found out that the very familiar "Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy" radio and TV series theme music was an Eagle's instrumental called "Journey Of The Sorcerer", as soon as I owned a CD player, I went right out and bought this album. The instrumental song is a very interesting, as well as the longest track, on the album. Other songs that aren't radio airplay songs, but I still love them anyway are "Visions", and "After The Thrill Is Gone".After buying this album, I evenually purchased all six of the Eagles albums from 1972 to 1979. If it weren't for Douglas Adams, author of the Hitchhiker's Guide series, I would not have become such a big Eagles fan.
