The 40th anniversary revamp of the Eagles' '70s landmark Hotel California offers punchy, remastered versions of classic cuts like the spooky title track and snarling "Life in the Fast Lane," alongside tracks from an L.A. Forum concert in 1976, shortly before the album's release. There's a distinct air of discovery as the band sinks its teeth into the still-fresh material, like the soulful "New Kid in Town" and guitar-dueling “Hotel California,” alongside earlier Eagles milestones like feel-good anthem "Take It Easy" and the smoldering, sensual "One of These Nights."
