Might not be the right subreddit but oh well. It’s something I really enjoy doing when listening to a song. Here are some songs I do that with-
Don’t let’s start - they might be giants
Tonight,tonight,tonight - Genesis
Rock the casbah - The Clash
As you can see I put a lot of work into that image
(Oh boy I’m going to get downvoted for this I can already tell)
There’s actually one specific problem I have with it that I’ve never seen anyone bring up, but I think is a pretty significant flaw. Where are the band members besides Brian? Occasionally there’ll be like 1 or 2 other members and for the most part that’s it. It kind of makes me wonder what the point of bringing all these session musicians in if you’re not going to use your actual band mates that much.
Obviously the songs themselves are great, I’m not going to pretend that this ruins the album for me and that it’s now a 0/10, it’s just that I’m not sure why this is a beach boys album and not a Brian Wilson solo project. Obviously though, the album itself is astronomically exceptional. I would just love to hear other people’s thoughts on this because it does genuinely bug me a little bit.
