would listen

Feel obligated to post this. It's not "God Only Knows" but it is Pet Sounds.

Indeed, there is crap on LA (Light Album), the disco Here Comes The Night being the overwhelmingly obvious example. It's not a great Beach Boys album, but I'd say the 5 great songs - Good Timin', Angel Come Home, Baby Blue, Sumahama and Love Surrounds Me - stands it as the best album after Love You.
Admittedly that's not saying very much, but it has a lot more going for it than all the others. The remaining mediocre tracks are at least listenable, I suppose.

Is this getting any radio airplay?
― Lee626, Tuesday, 5 June 2012 15:46 (11 months ago) Permalink
Kinda ok. Isn't It Time/Last 4 tracks are AMAZING. Rest ranges from 'Can We see weirdos + Mike Love?' to passable BW cruising.

so far this is far better than a beach boys album in 2012 has any right to be

isn't it time is great
one of the really unique things about the beach boys is how on pet sounds and smile they really eschewed conventional trap kit drumming and i like the arrangement on isn't it time for that reason
goddam spoke to soon - SPRING VACATION, is this a stamos number?

Contrary to what many of us assumed, "That's Why God Made the Radio" written only by Brian, Joe Thomas, Jim Peterik, and Larry Millas (the last two ex-Ides of March).
We all know what that means: In a few years, they're all gonna be sued by Mike Love claiming the "lift up my antenna" line was his.....

"Isn't It Time" is like an unholy combination of all the things I dislike about both 15 Big Ones and Love You.
I know everyone's dying to proclaim the last three songs Brian's autumnal masterpiece and all. But thus far, this tune feels like the best thing on the record by some length, lifted antennae be damned.
I like the melancholy intro tho.

Apparently they are selling the cd for a grand total of $5 US at the tour merch stand, and Mike Love is hawking between songs in his banter:
"We're battling it out with Adele, so buy American," said Love at one point during just one of his numerous pitches.
(from the Houston Press review of Friday's show)
Mike Love, please don't ever change.

anyone read the latest Rolling Stone? when they were listening to the "13 minute suite" that closes the album Mike Love turned his hand into a gun and mocked blowing his brains out
also, Al Jardine needed help flushing the toilet on the plane

"isn't it time" is great.good tune, good production, good voices (except brian's first words on the opening).totally unexpected and I'm quite surprised to like a new BW/Bboys song so much in 2012!the final suite, I'm not really convinced. it's ok but nothing special.

-Al Jardine still sounds pretty good!-I lost track of Brian Wilson at the end. It turns out he was out in front playing the bass. Then he puts the bass down and starts wandering around on stage. Like just pacing back and forth.-turn up the guitars-weird and sad Forever and God Only Knows appearance from Dennis and Carl-had a ball
