What really makes Layla such a powerful record is that Clapton, ignoring the traditions that occasionally painted him into a corner, simply tears through these songs with burning, intense emotion.
From the ecstatic sensation of finding someone, to the miserable experience of losing that state of bliss- Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs perfectly illustrates all the different sides of love.
Though Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs drags more than necessary, it also functions perfectly fine as a blues rock festival, filled with (mostly) solid or hypnotizing love beats, which puts the album idea on the forefront. Eric and crew crafted a rock classic that may live in its historical importance but also breathes relatively smoothly to this day and age.
