Tbh not as strong as Smiley Smile but it has so much soul!
Best: Wild Honey, Country Air, Let The Wind Blow, Darlin', Arent You Glad?, I'd Love Just Once To See You.
Tied with All Summer Long imo for 2nd best Beach Boys album pre Pet Sounds. All songs are solid!
Best: Help Me Rhonda, California Girls, You're So Good To Me, Let Him Run Wild, Summer Means New Love
Oh MY 🥲 BEAUTIFUL!!! A summer haze of daydreams, crushes, and planning for the future.
Best: All except last song
And you have the crown! (For now) the best Beach Boys album All Summer Long! Production is a whole new step up which makes every song better!!
Best: Every Track except for tracks 6, 8, 10, 11
Decent album! It's another really catchy album with way better production than the first two (although being super rushed).
Best: Little Duece Coupe, Ballad Of Ole' Betsy, Be True To Your School, Car Crazy Cutie, 409, Shut Down, Spirit Of America
Sooo sooooo catchy and so dreammmyyyy!!! I fell in love with the warmth and just pure innocent vibe the entire album has. For some reason it feels japanese?
Best: Surfer Girl, Catch A Wave, Surfer Moon, In My Room, Little Duece Coupe, Your Summer Dream
Obvious step up from their debut! Can't say anything that different other than how it's just pretty good!
Best: Surfin' USA, Lonely Sea, Shut Down (basic picks I know)
For a pretty garage sounding raw debut from a bunch of self taught teenagers in the 60, I dont think it goes much better than this. Really catchy minimally produced songs that get stuck in my head wheter I like it or not.
Best: Surfin' Safari, County Fair, 409
As far as I'm concerned, Smiley Smile has 2 perfect songs and a supporting cast of extremely solid songs! I enjoy songs like Fall Breaks Into Winter, Gettin Hungry, Wonderful, Vegetables, and honestly the whole album.
Best: Heroes and Villains, Good Vibrations
Perfect! Pet Sounds needs to be listened to by everybody, truely heavenly.
Best: God Only Knows, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Here Today, I Just Wasnt Made For These Times, Caroline No
I'm in the small minority that enjoys this album. Most of that is because its hilarious.
Best: Laihaina Aloha
