So I played TWGMTR for my parents and well..

[Newguy562]

they were extremely unimpressed especially since my dad was a huge fan of pet sounds/smile (i guess he expected to hear that type of sound coming from their new record).I told them it's not 1966/67 it's 2012..he told me that they should do what the rolling stones should do and hang it up ...this saddens me :/..now i'm worried what the new album is going to sound like..

Can't please everyone, Chuck. ^_^

It's time to move out. haha

LOL for real. 

You'll eventually realize as you get older NewGuy that your parents have no clue what they're doing, just like you don't, and nobody else does either, lol.  I used to think my parents knew everything until I turned about 30 or so and realized that I was still as clueless as they must have been when I was a kid!

this bugged me so much especially since my dad admitted brian is a music genius!

Yeah? A lot of us think Brian is a music genius here but aren't into the song. I've quickly come to terms with it for what it is, but I don't see the point in being bummed out if someone can't get into this song. It's not as if you presented them with Brian's absolute best work and they responded by saying they were disappointed to have birthed you or something.

[Runaways]

now all of newguy's posts make sense.

anyway, what were you expecting?  This is the exact sort of song you should have expected when you found out paley wrote it.  why don't you go back and tell your dad that Wilson didn't write, but arranged/produced and probably did the tag (since that sounds so brian). 

[I. Spaceman]

Andy Paley wrote it?

[SG7]

My mom liked it but she hated Love You. Go figure 

[Justin]

he told me that they should do what the rolling stones should do and hang it up ...

The Rolling Stones aren't "hanging it up."

this saddens me :/..now i'm worried what the new album is going to sound like..

It's a shame you're so easily impressionable.  Stick to your guns and life will be a lot easier.

i meant Joe Thomas, weird i even made a mental note to not say paley.  wait, it was thomas right? and peterik?  whatever, point is, musically this is exactly what i think we all expected.  But at the same time, i ended up enjoying it more than i thought i would.

i'm excited yet nervous for the album :] ..:O

thanks lol
yes i might have to say that i don't want to ruin brian's credentials lol..

Where are the original Beach Boys on the vocal blend of the song, besides being able to hear Brian and Bruce?  I don't hear Al or Mike on it at all.  I can see old school Beach Boy fans being a little put off by it for that alone.

They are all over the song. Al is clearly audible in the "in my car" and "like a prayer" lines. Mike is all over the tag.

There's a lot of willful ignorance happening on the board now.

[runnersdialzero]

I don't know about "willful ignorance". I still cannot hear Mike anywhere on this song, and I've really looked.

[Magic Transistor Radio]

What did your parents think of That Lucky Old Sun?

[Newguy562]

What did your parents think of That Lucky Old Sun?

i never showed them that album lol..i just played today/pet sounds/smile sessions for them

[SG7]

I wish you all could've seen my mom's face when she saw Smile in 04 with me knowing not what to expect. Especially the workshop sequence 

[Runaways]

maybe you don't know what he sounds like anymore??

[Runaways]

i played it for my girlfriend.  she liked it, but said "it wasn't what i expected, i expected something like caroline no, did brian write it?"  i told her nope, not really.  she added it's still better than anything on the radio

[runnersdialzero]

i expected something like caroline no

Quick, one of you'ns fetch me the cocaine snorting JPEG I posted the other day.

hey she listens casually.  She just meant stylistically, and she's never really heard much past Love You cause i don't play later stuff in the car.  caroline no is just her favorite.  I think what she meant was, she didn't expect something so early 60s, cause she's heard that brian doesn't write like that anymore
