I like Petridish and his feelings towards the album are kind of in line with my own (or at least what I've heard so far - obviously not the 2 other songs from the 'suite'). Negative stuff aside, it's great to see such a glowing critique of 2012 BB songs, by a young relatively hip reviewer (albeit clearly a fan). Unbelievable really.

Also some links to 5 full songs from the album on The Guardian site which I missed yesterday. Aplogies if already posted. FTTBA is incredible, and if I didn't know otherwise I'd think Brian had been sitting on Isn't It Time since the late 70s:

this is how i imagine most reviews will go down: everyone will enjoy the last three tracks; some will be complimentary on a couple of others like TWGMTR, Isn't It Time and Shelter, but only total masochist fans like me will enjoy Spring Vacation!

i think we knew there would be a where people reject the corny kitsch and embrace the end stuff.  I'll be one of em to certain degree

Y'know I kinda would have liked a little more in depth look at it.  Nothing crazy, but a paragraph of Spring Vacation seems a bit much.  It pretty much says everything till the end sucks and  I'm gonna guess it's not quiiite like that.

Nice to know Petridish reads this board, even though he is a knob

Indeed. His attitude is really something to behold, innit?

I was expecting far worse from The Guardian. Did you read their review of The Gershwin album? His BW/BB pieces are always well considered - he's alright in my book.

The last two paragraphs sound spot-on to me and very heartening to hear! It's not exactly unexpected that music critics would flip over Brian's suite and make sniffy noises at fun in the sun, cruisin', money n' spring stuff.

I'd love for it to get an average of around three and a half, if that's possible.  We'll see.  7/10 seems very reasonable to me, and seems fair from a critical standpoint.
