My favourite Beach Boys album. For me, it's 1000 more creative than Pet Sounds. This is a wonderful collection of ante-litteram low-fi psych pop madness. From the amazing popcraft of "Heroes and Villains" and "Good Vibrations" to the angelic vocal harmonies of "With Me Tonight" 'till the pure genious low-fi insanity of "She's Goin' Bald", this stands as one of the best records of the late '60's...

I had to take this off my iPod. It's somehow grating. I want to see the other side of BB but it's no use yet

So hell's frozen over, I've given 2 Beach Boys albums 5s.

Call the proper authorities, I think I'm turning into a Californian.



Edit: Ah, thank god that passed.

Edit 2: Nevermind, I'm back in the soup.

I love this album too but I just can almost never be bothered to listen to it, hence the lower rating



“Little Pad” is an elite tune (:

We need a fucking theremin comeback in rock music. Phoebe Bridgers kicked off the revival with Demi Moore... now it needs to become a mainstay again

I like the part on that one that sounds like Woody Woodpecker.

This is way better than Smile Sessions/Brian Wilson Presents Smile and nothing will convince me otherwise



Also, it's better than Pet Sounds, but that one's actually close to this one.

This Is really good but personally I would recommend the smile sessions instead for a better listening experience for SMILE.

The Smile Sessions are probably closer to Smile, but it's hard to tell since the real Smile never happened

Or Brian Wilson's Smile over this personally.

This is weird lo-fi melancholy genius



Which I prefer to the "big epic" that so many had already done in the 1960s
