Seriously, there was a Beach Boys Love You condom?! Amazing.

I went into the local Walmart in Wildwood, NJ. It was with the "New Releases" section, surprisingly enough. I didn't even have to ask one of the employees where it was. Also grabbed the ZinePak as well. Both are great.

Where did you pick up your copy?

I just got back from my lunchtime trek to Target (Allentown, PA) to pick it up.

They had about half a dozen copies in the "New Releases" rack right in front of the CD section. $7.99. I'm planning to crack it open and enjoy it during my ride home later today, when I'll have time to hear it all... I've avoided all clips, streams and downloads, so everything but the single will be entirely new to me. Looking forward to it!

Waiting for my copy in the post from Amazon, if I had remembered I would have brought it from the shops but I stupidly forgot about today and yesterday being bank holidays in the UK. Embarrassed

Bought mine at Target. Sign said $5 dollars, looked at the receipt later and saw they charged me $7.99 for it.

I didn't feel too bad considering that I'd've paid over $15 to get this album.

Listened to it once all the way through: LOVE Daybreak over the Ocean, PCH, Isn't It Time, and The PLoBaS.

Overall a VERY solid album, with a few more listens hopefully some of the clunkers will start to grow on me!

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!

Listening to it right now.

Where did these come from?

Do you really think these were whipped up in a few months, or was Brian sitting on some of these for 30 years?
Some of these are better than they have any right to be.
From There to Back Again is a real surprise - I think there's maybe one duff song on the whole disk (more listens will tell) - a better average than some of the 60's stuff!

I'm going to buy mine from Target on the way home. I hope Target is sold out, then I'll walk next door to Best Buy and buy it. I hope they're sold out too.

Target! This morning, they had just opened. I found it in the new releases section, pretty sure I was one of the first there lol. Got my copy, went to my car, opened it, saw a weird staining on the back of the album case. I sat there for 5 minutes letting my OCD-tendencies build before I went and exchanged it for an ok copy. THIS WAS GONNA BE A PERFECT MOMENT AND NO LIL DISCOLORATION WAS GONNA RUIN IIIT

Just got back from Target. Yep, we're all cheapskates. Couldn't stop smiling. I'm so grateful for this music and I'm happy for the Beach Boys. Noticed Bob Ludwig did the mastering and it shows. Very crisp and lots of dynamics. Loving it! On Spring Vacation, sounds like they did the Beach Boys special trick with Mike's vocal ala "I Get Around". Awesome.

Bob mastered Imagination, too. Didn't help the dynamics on that one, I'm afraid.

Quite honestly, the new record doesn't have many dynamics at all. It's not brickwalled but it could sound a lot better.
Although, it sounds miles better than TLOS....

Got mine yesterday, walked into my local HMV and surprisingly it was prominently featured in the new releases section.

I was at Target before they opened! Wow I love it! I think it's their best going way back... 70's at least. The middle does drag like people have stated but I still like it. It does remind me of Today - fast songs on Side 1 and slows songs on Side 2. Love the life suite - amazing. And I could have used more Al vocals actually...

Pittsburgh here...

...going to Target soon. Later I'll, ahem, indulge, and listen to it on the Sennheisers through the single-ended triode tube amp. Then I will silently poop myself and weep.

That sounds like a plan! Although driving around Wildwood looking at all the retro-kitsch motels and architecture from the 50's while blasting this album in the car (windows down) sounds like a pretty prime location, too.

For the Philly folks: Since they were playing the new single on the air weeks ago, I was guessing WXPN might do something with the album release, but this happens to be their fundraising pledge week and I can't listen to the phones ringing and smatterings of applause as money rolls in for more than a few minutes to find out... Grin

I'd imagine they'd feature it somehow, though.
