Well it certainly lives up to its name. Seems like an attempt to recapture the glory days. Starts off strong with 2 songs I’m enjoying g a lot. Ends with Endless Harmony and that’s great. And the voices? Carl sounds GREAT to me. The harmonies sound good too. Especially following a few albums prior when the voices weren’t quite superb. I like it ok. It’s like cotton candy. Tasty every once in a while, but can’t sustain me and too much could make me sick. Thoughts?
I was at cedar point yesterday and i was in the line for wild mouse, i heard a beach boys song, it was very chaotic, sounded like fire from the smile sessions except there was singing and lyrics, had a bunch of cool noises, fast pace and chaotic and had a kinda of unsettling feel personally

Bored…this will be a nice departure from sour topics. I was gonna ask the saddest but I’ll save that for another day lol, perhaps when it’s TOO happy haha (jk I’m not evil)
And I do too. Heard it from the cd release before, but can’t beat this on an peaceful evening with some 🍷
I listen to a new album each day but always go back and relisten to previous ones. Every time I’ve heard this song I actually like it a lot. I appreciate the risks they took and the groove too. But it’s universally despised here. Why is that? The message? (Surf’s Up is incredible regardless.)
I believe it is sold out now, and I wanted to know if it will come back? And if not did anyone buy an extra I could buy? (The audiophile pressing)
Happy birthday Darian!!!!
I can't help but have major adoration of Darian, he seems like such a nice guy and he massively helped our guy Brian out in a big way.
I really think Darian had a way with Brian that he truly deserved in his life, he was always very supportive of him.
He's also a fantastic musician who without him we probably wouldn't have gotten Smile with how much he helped with finishing it.
He's also quite fantastic in Wonder Mints!
Ok now. Starting off strong. Definitely heard the opening track. Pretty classic sound for the band. It’s like an easy listening album- hence the name? Where’s Brian? It’s fair. Not an instant love, but I don’t dislike it either. It certainly lives up to its name. After listening and then reading the back story it seems to be a white album situation where then just compiled their individual songs. Very interesting. Also, I’ve been to Balboa Park where Brian was found after missing.
My Pet sounds copies. Still waiting on the vinylphyle copy to come in the mail.
I listen to this album mostly on the brilliant CD but exited to compare the DSS and Vinylphyle copies
Here’s another one from Friends, I hope you like it! More from the album coming soon…
Original MIDI arrangement.
Have any of you had a chance to compare the 60th dss vinyl to the analog productions master? Is this new dss release the best sounding vinyl?
Some behind the scenes photos from the filming of the color promotional video for "I Can Hear Music" (for anyone looking to rewatch -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WamOSM9R7PY&list=RDWamOSM9R7PY&start\_radio=1). Photo 1 by Berlinfoto, photo 2 by London Features.
And because it's always a good time to celebrate Carl's vocal and production, here's a quote from Classic Rock Forever:
“‘I Can Hear Music’ was, unbelievably, the youngest Wilson’s very first attempt at record production, and somehow, someway, he deftly made this original Ronettes number practically his own. Ahh, my… Rest in peace, sweet young Carl.” - article by Gary, Classic Rock Forever
After nine years collecting Beach Boys records, I finally stumbled upon a copy of Shut Down Vol. 2 today - this has been the final record I’ve needed for years now. Today was the first time I spotted it in a store! Super hyped to finally own a copy and have this collection of records from my favourite band completed.
ss is in my top 3 albums and I’ve been wanting to get this for awhile
both versions are great but this lowkey gets to me icl
