it has different arrangements than this one and the production is better since it was recorded in 2004, worth checking imo

Surf's Up is a great song
It's been available to the public since 1971 on a better album though than this :P

That’s fair. When I listen to Pet Sounds and this I can’t help but think how limited Brian Wilson was by technology. In almost every arrangement you can hear what he wanted to do, and he mostly achieves it, but it’s always diminished just slightly by the technology of the 60s not fully being able to carry his vision. Imagine if he were in his prime now in 2021

I guess
I kinda like the denser production quality of 65-72 when it comes to psychedelic music, it feels more appropriate
In fact super clean modern psych like Tame Impala is just the worst... someone should down mix Tame Impala to sound 60s, maybe I'll finally get them

Imagine what Brian Wilson would've been doing if someone other than that awful bastard Eugene Landy got him off drugs and overeating.

Shut up Colton, you compared Kate Bush to Yoko Ono and 2'd The Dreaming, that's way worse than underrating a 2011 remastering of Smile's demos

Uh oh, someone’s getting feisty.

I love how you acknowledge and partially agree with the Toad comparison but the Yoko comparison crosses the line

I mean I don't agree with the Toad comparison really, but I at least see what you mean about her climaxes on Pull Out the Pin and Houdini since she does go for a purposefully ugly tone to show distress
Pull Out the Pin took a bit to grow on me (I love it now though) and Houdini is my least fave song on The Dreaming for that reason (and it's the only reason I don't have it 5'd) so uh...yeah that one at least makes sense more than the Yoko criticism, even if it's technically a harsher claim

With that said: what do you have against the other 8 songs on The Dreaming? 2 songs you find ugly doesn't really justify a 2 on a 10 track album

I don’t know what 2 songs you’re referring to cause I don’t remember singling out any 2 songs, but basically I found it eclectic and zany in a way that doesn’t actually facilitate any interesting ideas. The melodies are just kinda ugly and all over the place with nothing to compensate for them. Not a lot of rhythms that I found engaging, lyrics that are good but don’t stand out to me, and eccentricity for the sake of eccentricity that ultimately leads to nothing
