What was the Eagles' first double studio album?

Long Road Out of Eden was the Eagles’ first double studio album.

Released in 2007, it was the band’s seventh studio album and their first collection of entirely new studio material since The Long Run in 1979. The project took nearly six years to complete, with recording spanning 2001 to 2007. Its two discs run for more than 90 minutes and combine the band’s established rock and country influences with more reflective, contemporary material.

The album’s title can cause confusion because Eagles Live, Hell Freezes Over, and Farewell 1 Tour are also substantial multi-track releases. However, those are live albums or concert projects, whereas Long Road Out of Eden is a studio album. It is also distinct from The Long Run, which was a single album released during the group’s original 1970s run.

For its first year, the album was sold in North America mainly through the Eagles’ website, Walmart, and Sam’s Club. It debuted at No. 1 in the United States and became the group’s sixth consecutive album to top the chart.
