Winehouse albums are slick, retro but then sound organic AND modern. Def give props to ronson for that
the 'props' go to Gabe Roth; the 'slick' to Ronson.
The slickness in Back To Black is in that the rather small team of musicians play very tightly and "on it" while the overall sound/vibe is both retro and modern. The SOUND itself does not sound AOR at all......... to my ears.
nah, the slickness is Ronson & Winehouse (not present in the other Daptone recordings).

The 80's Beach Boys comment really scares me - that's a far cry from what we've heard from the boys, making comparisons to Pet Sounds and their 60's material. As others have said, I suppose the involvement of Joe Thomas shouldn't make this much of a surprise, and maybe I'll be proven wrong, but I think that the "80's Beach Boys" sound needs to stay in the 80's, and nowhere near this album.

What's D'Amico gonna do. His initial responsibility in Brian's band was a percussionist, then Nelson took over after Mike left. Then he got back in the band and became the drummer after Sucherman and Hines left. He's another multi-talented guy, though, and can play guitar, keys, and bass when called upon.
But The Boys already have a drummer and 1/2 in Cowsill and Stamos and about 5 guitarists, two keyboardists, and a bass player. Man, if D'Amico joins too, that stage is really gonna be full!
I seriously doubt Stamos will feature on any more than a very few US shows: remember how he announced he was taking part than swiftly retracted it a few days later ? Personally speaking, one would be far too many.
Dennis would have kicked his ass.

Well, first we all can be sure that the Pet Sounds comparisons are just promo. Especially with Mike I have the feeling that he always pulls out the Pet Sounds comparisons when talking about a ballad. Maybe the same goes for Al. But I really can't see how anyone really would believe the words of the guys that this new album will be any new Pet Sounds (and if it is I will be disappointed because I wouldn't like them to repeat themselves).
And secondly, 80s Beach Boys doesn't necessaily mean that they go for an 80s sound (I hope they won't). Maybe it's just (if you take Beach Boys '85 as an example) that everyone will contribute in songwriting. And say what you want, Beach Boys '85 was a very contemporary sounding record (I really like that album) so maybe that's what Probyn Gregory meant (contemporary; that would fit with his description of the Radio-song). We just have to wait.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

A Stamos appearance would be retro to the wrong era. But its hard to guess what this committee of Beachboys will do.

"Sounding like 80's Beach Boys", oh dear that's just about the worse comparison he could have come up with. Does not whet my appetite. Could tie in with JT being an executive producer.
Well, I would worry about it sounding like "90s Beach Boys" more. Summer in Paradise dates from 92, IIRC.
But yeah, if Joe Thomas is involved -- as we have known since late last year, at least -- the album will probably have a degree of slickness to it. I mean listen to the version of "Do It Again" that's out! I've been banging this drum for awhile now, and I'm astonished that people are still taken aback or trying to wishful-think their way out of this.
Joe Thomas involvement, Joe Thomas musicians = Slicker, adult contemporary sound.
That's just the way it is.
Well I guess it could be worse--they could get Steve Levine to do the album...

but if probyn is calling JT "executive producer" and an "overseeer" then i don't see how his influence musically will be that prominent.

They're working on it now. According to the Probyn interview, no rehearsals are planned until next month.

Think wider than just the album project (and this isn't any insider info - it's been underlined in a recent article).

Poor spelling, not poor grammar.
