I'll say it again: this is a great album, and I consider the promise of R&R album fulfilled.
Please understand me: I was DREADING that No Pier Pressure (a fairly good album which I don't really like) would be the last I would hear from Brian, and above all that The Last Song (a great song which I hate) would REALLY be his last song.
Instead...
First the ultra-stellar piano album... I still haven't the words for that. There are no words for such a thing. In any case, completely from the left field.
Then Long Promised Road... the medley of the Paley album and the R&R album! Completely from the OTHER left field, if you take my meaning.
And, at the moment, the latest Brian song is ROCK & ROLL HAS GOT A HOLD ON ME, where Brian asserts again himself as the real KING OF ROCK & ROLL.
Brianista, I know. But then, I am also a Mike Lover etc. Can't help myself.
My only complain is that they should have released At My Piano and Long Promised Road as a double album. Just to mess with people's minds.
