yeah that's an interesting bit i forgot to mention



Bruce finds it weird that people like his songs on here, especially Deidre. It's a shame he's more or less reduced himself to "the guy who wrote Disney Girls and I Write the Songs" because he proved himself to be more than capable of holding his own as a writer.

it's a shame he went to Mike Love's side and became a Trumper weirdo cos he really did have talent. Disney Girls in particular is s-tier Boys for me, that song is like a warm pillow

I've been absolutely loving Break Away recently. probably wouldn't have fit on here but fuck me, what a song. that first line from Carl is basically magic

break away is really incredible yea. one of my favs from that period



this is the only beach boys tracklist where i dont make any changes to it since i think the sequence is one of its strongest attributes and even subbing in better tracks from this time period dont fit as well, but given the wealth of material from these sessions i made a whole other tracklist out of everything i really fuck with from the feel flows box that didn't make the cut lol. such a phenomenal period for the band

such a good period of songwriting they were still mining songs from it to pad out tracklists nearly a decade later lmao

I'd say 66 - 71 def has their best overall material. There's a 10/10 compilation in there

not to keep using this to talk about the insane wealth of stuff on feel flows but that fun fun fun callback at the end of san miguel is such a cool moment

It's so pure and joyful. Always liked this album but lately it's completely clicked for me, been listening to it a ton. All I Wanna Do til the end is easily one of their best runs.
