CRITIC REVIEWS

The best Beach Boys album, and one of the best of the 1960s.

To call this album classic doesn't do it justice. A rival with only two or three albums as the greatest album of all time. It is this good.

These lush, symphonic and baroque pieces were as far removed from the good-time surf ditties the band was known for as they could possibly be. For all the band knew, these tunes could’ve been beamed into Brian’s brain from another planet. And for all we know, they probably were.
The History of the Albums – n°300 – On the occasion of this symbolic figure, I would like to thank all the people who have supported me so far, be it those who have always been there, those who supported me at the beginning and today. By the way, I would also like to thank you all for the 1400'! I wanted to tell you how grateful I am, especially since History of the Albums is the project I am most proud of.

Thank you so much for 300 followers! My follower count more than doubled and that’s mainly because I was bored and followed a lot more accounts to see more musical opinions.

I respect the album for what it did at the time, but good god some of this has not aged well. I am so unbelievably bored by some of the crap on the second half of this album. There were a handful of songs that swept me off my feet, and took me on a journey, but also a large cut of tracks that put me to sleep. The constant fadeouts also sound ridiculous, but I am willing to look past that for the most part.
One day, I may return to this, and it will hit me like a truck. Until then I cringe at ... read more
