Another big letdown for me was that he mentioned Dennis and not Carl as co-writer for "All this is that", something that the people could have edited out, because as we all know it is just wrong.

Yes, that was kind of a strange bit as that song doesn't even remotely sound like something Dennis could have written. I wonder if Brian even cares. More than once his comments about early seventies songs seemed to be clouded by his "That one brings up bad memories" mode. So those nice things he had to say about Al's California really came as a pleasant surprise. That said, it's kinda odd he seems to totally dislike Sail On Sailor while it's been one of his concert standards for so many years. I for once always thought the lyrics were great and an obvious improvement over the original lines by Ray Kennedy, whose version, while pleasant enough strikes me as far less precise than the finished version by Reiley or whoever wrote it in the end...

I have to admit, with 7 weeks in the US Billboard Top 200, I expected a bit more...

For a 'greatest non-hits' compilation, I think it's done well. Joni Mitchell tried the same thing a few years back with a 'Misses' compilation to accompany her 'Hits'. I'm pretty sure it didn't do as well as TWOS.

An indication of how well "Misses" did is that I can't unload the thing at any local used CD store.
They don't want it.

Is it only me that thinks that the EQs have been overused a bit on this new compo?

I'm particularly thinking of Breakaway (or Break Away as it is now) which has been completely transformed into something almost uncomfortable to listen to. Surely the decision to make such a transformation should rest with the author, not the engineer?

And another thing... What were they thinking of when they did that to Cool Cool Water? Why wasn't there someone around to just say No! That's a terrible idea?

However,  Please Let Me Wonder sounds fabulous (much better than the original mix, which was pretty bad for most of that album, hiding all those BG vox away).

So there!  Cheesy

That was the original single mix. Now we know why it bombed.
