TWGMTR best album since....

[drbeachboy]

With The Beach Boys though, the melody is carried through the lyrics. As well as I know the tunes and the lyrics, I always find it quite hard to sing along with a lot of songs on Stack -o- Tracks.

I would, however, distinguish between lyrics and vocals.  If I sing along to a song, of course I'm singing the melody that the vocals carry in the song.  That doesn't mean I comprehend what the lyrics mean.

I'll put it this way regarding TWGMTR as an example.  Beaches In Mind could have the most sophisticated lyrics in music history and I still wouldn't much care for it as a song.  Meanwhile, From There to Back Again literally be reciting gibberish (in the case of some songs they might as well be anyways ) and it wouldn't do much to hurt my high opinion of that song.

It's their best album since Surfin' Safari...  just kidding.  Glad to see Love You in the lead, because that's what I voted for. 

Yeah, who'd have thought prior to release that the majority here would rank it the finest since Love You. That's really no mean feat, all things considered. Let's hope this reunion produces at least one more studio album.

Not sure if this has already been posted, but Mojo gave it an absolutely glowing 4 star review in the latest edition.

That's great--I didn't know that.  I have a subscription to Uncut, and they only gave it 5 stars out of 10.  Mojo has been covering the BBs a lot, and I'm glad that they liked the album better.  4 stars out of 5 is just about perfect.  I'll have to look for the review--what issue is it in?

I went for Surfs Up. Though I rate Love You up there with both TWGMTR and Surfs Up. I've given it at least 60-70 listens now and love it dearly (Daybreak being the only exception). If you think anything post Love You is anywhere near the quality of TWGMTR I think you should make an appointment with Dr Landy, you are nuts and deserve to be mistreated! (I know he's dead).

Who voted 'it's the worst yet'!
