Pacific Coast Highway Overrated ?

[Wirestone]

A verse of Summers Gone, natch.


And given the long and troubled gestation of Spring Vacation, we don't know what form that was presented in.

Didn't Brian go to Capitol himself? I doubt he had nothing more than guide vocals for most songs. I'll bet the execs made their decision mostly based on the music only.

Brian recorded the entire album with him and Jeff on the leads and all the backing parts first. The Boys then replaced those parts track by track.

I'm not human :/

now now now we all know you're human, NG

"Young But Daily Growing" as the old song goes....... 

that's true  ....lol..you guys have to remember this is all new to me..my peers listen to justin bieber and i listen to the beach boys and mostly 60's/70's stuff so i have a lot of music to show them!

4 1nce im glad im old lol ( as U kidz say)

 

wow lol..i know it's tough right now..and dubstep is huge right now too smh..do you know what dubstep is?

dubstep is some crazy type music that the kids like.......... 

I'm 2 old 4 that sh.. stuff......

 

HAAAAAA it's like techno but has that wobbly sound that sounds like charlie brown's teacher speaking lol
and you're one of those "it's only rock n roll but i like it!!!!" ppl lol jk..
seriously it would be awesome if i could trade places and be in the 60's so i can go to woodstock and monterey pop festival and be part of that experience!

Me too, only without using drugs. Though I think Woodstock was 10 times grander event than Monterey.

well drugs is part of the experience ..and have you been to either of those?

Newguy, you need to like PCH because it's Brian Wilson sprouting giant wings and a tail and making one more late visit to the long-shuttered brain space that gave us Pet Sounds, Smile and 'Til I Die.  The last thing anyone ever expected was for the Brian we've grown to know and love to be taken over by THAT guy again, firing on all 16 cylinders and making capital-a Art.

The last 4 tracks on TWGMTR are pure f*cking gold. And the rest of the album, although mostly lower-case-a art, rolls up and smokes most of what the band has put out in over 40 years.

This is The Resurrection.

Don't start a thread about it then......

[send me a picture and i'll tell you]

Don't start a thread about it then......

C'mon; he's inquisitive and he's trying. 

[18thofMay]

Well the only that I find cool about that song is well I only live a couple streets away from Pacific Coast Highway so I kind of know how it feels to cruise down it ..
The song sounds not bad but not as good as you guys make it seem...it's the weakest song from the suite..What is it about the song that you guys find so amazing?
It sounds extremely boring :/ I'm sure I'm probably the only person that doesn't like it...

So you have heard it as the suite?

No he is compulsive and shocks in order to gain attention.

OK... so you've claimed it's the weakest song of the suite without hearing the suite as a whole ? Son, that makes you fair game.

I can see people not getting into it because it's not really a song like the rest of the album - excluding the opening track - but when you look at it as a fragment or section in a suite of songs, it's beautiful and evocative.  It would serve equally well as a coda to the album.  Summer's gone is an adult/ older man version of Caroline No - even the instrumentation is similar - amd Brian saying goodbye on PCH would be a fitting end.  Think Smile sections/suite and you maybe can get where PCH is coming from.

Newguy...........

Yup.
