WHEN THE EAGLE FLIES

Like LAST EXIT, traffic ended it's second phase on a low note. WHEN THE EAGLE FLIES sounds somber and at time poor when compared to SHOOT OUT. "Something New" is pretty good, as is "Memories of a Rock'n'Rolla" but that's about it. "Dream Gerrard" is the epic for the album, and along with the two aforementioned tracks and "Walking in the Wind", is the only non-filler track. If somebody had tried to put a song like "Love" on SHOOT OUT... Well anyways, This is probably the last traffic studio album you need to own, even LAST EXIT had songs that were catchy, because "Something New" doesn't cut for making this album wothr more that two stars.
