You guys suck for hating on Beaches in Mind. Seriously, you're all so prissy and particular. My lord, just enjoy it - it's a Brian Wilson fun in the sun song. This is something he does really, really well (with a little input from Mike), and he freakin delivered! I don't understand you people. And I say that with all due respect (Talladega Nights style
).
Beaches in Minda and Strange World (another one that you all seem not like) are probably the best two tracks. Bill and Sue not so great. Everything else - awesome. Funny how TWGMTR is rarely mentioned as a favorite track. It reminds me of the Van Halen "tattoo" single. The fans hated it, and it's generally dismissed. But had it NOT been a single, I bet it would be one of the favorite tracks. Same thing with TWGMTR. Bet if it wasn't the single, we would all be talking about how brilliant that song is in addition to the last three songs. Hm.....
By the way, I started illegally downloading the album last night, but I stopped before it was complete. It just felt - wrong. (my views of the songs are based on the generous iTunes samples). CAN'T WAIT TILL TUESDAY!!!!!!!!

I can't help but think the line "Drivin' down Pacific Coast out on Highway One, the setting sun/Goodbye" is a euphemism for death.
I think you mean a metaphor.
Oops. Fixed.
I screen grabbed this from one of the Youtube promos. Brian's reading lyrics from the control room. I wonder what they're from ("Strange World"?)
I thought Joe Thomas mentioned something about Brian writing some Spanish lyrics for Private Life Of Bill and Sue, maybe its that one?

One thing that annoys me, why do the BB have to include these "tropical" elements like in "Daybreak Over the Ocean"? Here's a big misunderstanding I think. When the group started out and sang about the fun-in-the-sun stuff it wasn't about taking a fucking vacation on a tropical island. On the contrary, what probably still makes their early stuff so incredibly appealing is the idea that they were living the life they sang about 365 days a year, not just when their bosses and wives would allow them to. Huge difference!
Oh, by the way, I think "Strange World" is pretty underrated around here. Very charming little song (and very Brian imho!).

They (well, Mike Love) are just trying and hoping to recapture the commercial success of Kokomo with the whole tropical vibe..
how is that not, like, really obvious?

Yes, of course, but then he didn't succeed one single time, so why not finally get rid of that stuff?
Anyway, the tune itself is rather nice i think...

I really like Daybreak. It's very (as Brian would put it) mellow. The lyrics are great - Mike should be writing more like that and less of the "good vibrations/summer weather" stuff. I also think that track contains his best vocal of the album (even though it was recorded much earlier than the other ones).

I went to best buy to see if they'd sell it to me early. Their kiosk said they had it in stock, but on dice on selling it. Darn!

"Spring Vacation" really makes me want to hear the original lyrics. It's not hard to imagine them sing "Lay down burden" instead of "Spring vacation".
Have to admit the song is quite catchy no matter how trite the lyrics...

I went to my local indie store after work yesterday. The guy said that they had ordered several, but that it doesn't come out until Tuesday. I asked if they would be getting them in earlier, and he just smiled and said, "Come back on the weekend." I've got my fingers crossed for Saturday.

I think most stores get shipments in around Thursday or Friday for the Tuesday releases.
Indies will sometimes sell early. My hometown shop puts everything out Thursday afternoon for the following week. Very handy.

Yeah just thinking about Spring Vacation : wonder what the gospel version with Carl without shitty lyrics would have sounded like.

Well, of course the BBs aren't going to write about surf/sun exactly the way they did when they were 18 or whatever...they're friggin' 70! Unless you're that old dad from "Surfwise", it's not likely you're gonna be livin' the Cali life exactly as you were then. You're gonna do what you're able that this age. You're gonna write about what life you lived, what life passed you by, what went wrong, what can still go right, what might be fixable, what's left to look forward to. That's life, and life changes, like it or not.
There may be a little surface cheese that's grating (but mmmmm...grated cheeeeese...), but I hear a lot of true sentiments under the surface, as there nearly always has been with BB music.

I'm just so glad that now they're focusing on writing lyrics with bunch of references to older songs,

It says "hit single" about TWGMTR on the CD case sticker. Is it a hit single?

A listed in the UK, charting in Japan, lots of US airplay, all over the web, doing great at the concerts....no, it's a miserable flop. They should change the sticker.

For the exact same reason Van Dyke Parks toys around with a steel drum band and calypso rhythms. Because they fucking want to.
BTW, I have no problem with the Spring Vacation lyrics. I believe every single word they sing on it. They mean that stuff. And we'd be damned if a new BB album did not include its fair share of feel-good songs. We'd probably be bitching about it.

No need for sarcasm. I honestly didn't know how it charted. The single hasn't even been released in Gemany yet.

"Waves of Love" sounds damn good nestled between "Shelter" and "Daybreak".
