at least that's what they think in Toronto:
>>Album Review
Beach Boys - That’s Why God Made The Radio
By Joshua Errett
THE BEACH BOYS play the Molson Amphitheatre on June 19. See listing.
As an early member of the Beach Boys, a 15-year-old David Marks introduced the band to the drugs and drinking that would ultimately lead to the downfall of Brian Wilson and his brothers Carl and Dennis. But at least Marks was interested in trying new things, which is more than you can say for Mike Love.
Both Marks and Love are back for the 50th anniversary tour and 29th album of new material. Granted, not much of it sounds all that new. Though names like Joe Thomas, Wilson’s innovative 1980s producer, and Bon Jovi appear, this is very much Love’s project. And since Ronald Reagan-lite Love thinks the Beach Boys’ best period was their most profitable, we get bankable early 60s simplicity and zero evidence that these guys were once the coolest, funniest, strangest guys in music.
There are a few moments where Wilson is left alone to be his idiosyncratic self, like on the lonely Pacific Coast Highway and oddball The Private Life Of Bill And Sue. But most of the album is moronic Mike Love nostalgia that makes Kokomo sound good in retrospect.

Dude needs to do some research. And read the writing credits on the album.

Dave was known to supply Brian with bathrobes, cocaine, and cake. For years, Brian refused Dave's overtures - his frequent FedEx packages of blue bathrobes, cake batter, and certain powders - until finally succumbing in the late '60s. The rest was, as they say, history.

99 per cent of the OP is copied from a review.

100 per cent of the OP is copied from a review.
My point was its so poorly researched it falls well short of deserving any inclusion in a reviews thread. Did the literal bus just pull up or what?

And really, that's why I started this thread; maybe I should have simply posted the first paragraph?
It's so totally wrong and off-base! and there's only a tiny bit that could be considered a "review"

One of his tweets on June 3rd alleges that there is now, neither a radio, nor God.
An outrage.

Amazing that this horse's ass has his own web site. About food, not music. So......his credibility is in question right there.
I just e-mailed this dufus and gave him a a left uppercut to the chin followed by an overhand right to the snotlocker.

I, I love the colorful clothes she wears, and she's already working on my brain. I only looked in her eyes, but I picked up something I just can't explain. I, I bet I know what she’s like, and I can feel how right she’d be for me. It’s weird how she comes in so strong, and I wonder what she’s picking up from me. I hope it’s good, good, good, good vibrations, yeah!!

I was going to email metacritic, if possible, to tell them they ought to remove that review.

Wow, it's like someone skimmed a few Wiki articles for five minutes and then wrote that review. And skimmed the CD while listening......
I dunno, maybe the guy should write for "The Onion" or something. That thing almost reads like it's purposely trying to get each fact specifically wrong.

Hey Mark, one of your fellow Canucks (Rich Panteluk) personally delivered a copy of your book to me last week. I'm enjoying it right now and recommend it to others here.
Zach95 is right. This guy should be publicly humiliated for not doing his homework.
