Can you call a comeback to be a homecoming and vice versa? Look, my definition can be applied according to a case, yet the Eagles' Long Road Out Of Eden can be seen both. On the hand the group released two LPs of original material after a lengthy hiatus, but on the other the discs represent a return to the old sound, because the platter doesn't continue the evolution of what they did on The Long Run that much. However, I would claim Long Road Out Of Eden might be a homecoming mostly thanks to there being sense of a long promised obligation present throughout the entire tracklist, i.e. they needed to do this collection of tunes, because the fans demanded them and the Eagles always aim to please, they are such a type of a collective.
