   I'll add my .02 cents to all the other reviews here ......   
      
   Like I've always said even a bad BW song is still better than 99% of the   
   "music" out there today. I see where Brian was writing this to be a new BB cd.   
      
   This Beautiful Day - O.K. Trying to match Our Prayer. B+   
   Runaway Dancer - This has gotten a real bad rap in a lot of reviews but I   
   really enjoy it. Would like to hear a slower mix of it. A   
   Whatever Happened - Brian lamenting old age. The BEST tune on the cd. Should   
   be the next single! A++   
   On The Island - One of my faves! Who woulda sung this if it was a BB cd?    
   Bruce? Carl could have carried it off. A+   
   1/2 Moon Bay - Odd instrumental. Would be tuff to write lyrics for it. Kinda   
   like LGAFAW. Should have opened the album with it. B+   
   Our Special Love - I can see Mike singing this. B   
   The Right Time - Typical BB tune. Rips off Lay Down Burden. B+   
   Guess You Had To Be There - Snappy tune. Don't know who would have sung it on   
   a BB cd. A   
   Don't Worry - Ugh. D   
   Somewhere Quiet. BW resurrects SMNL from 1964. OK. B   
   I'm Feeling Sad - Weird. A happy tune with sad lyrics. B.   
   Tell Me Why. - This tune reminds me of some other song but cant place it. B.   
   Sail Away - For some reason everyone is ga-ga over this tune but it does   
   nothing for me. Don't care for Blondie's singing. Dennis coulda sang it. C+   
   One Kind Of Love - BW starts to run out of ideas. C+.   
   Saturday Night - Sounds like Lyndsey Buckingham singing. O.K. tune. B.   
   The Last Song. - trying to repeat Summer's Gone. Do Do Do La La La?    
   Really? O.K. though. B.   
      
   Pier Pressure is much better than 2004's "Getting In Over My Head". Wish   
   Brian would produce his next cd himself or get Don Was. Bag Joe Thomas.   
      
   I really like this cd. Have played it about 20 times. Overall a B+. Wonder   
   how the BB's would have sounded on it? Thanx a lot, Mike!
