I am feeling that I will have to ignore these warnings and just put the damned thing in the car stereo and blast it and see how that works.

Wouldn't It Be Nice, Good Vibrations and California Girls make for the most robotic Threesome I've ever heard! Also: have a sample of 21 seconds of Heroes and Villains: http://soundcloud.com/moar-freddie/h-v-snippett |

Is there any way you cost post a sample or two? It's only days before the release and Amazon and Itunes have nothing.

The band sounds kind of... soulless... for lack of a better word. |

Curious how the audience suddenly lose interest after 4 seconds.  This sounds fake, tired and pointless. |

It's amazing how Brian has that studio quality to his voice. I'm sure I've heard that one before.
Oh that's right. His SMILE album.
This will be a utter disappointment, but this was to be expected.
Give us the Carnegie Hall 1972 concerts instead, please.

Horrendous. Doesn't even sound live. And I bet Brian wouldn't recognise his own voice if he heard this.^^ I just don't get it - the BBs played 70+ shows last year, a good portion of those were professionally taped - which means they got loads of good material from all of the boys, even Brian. Polishing the vocals to some degree is okay.. but this?? Sounds like they used recordings from Brian's worst early robot-voice appearances and then even added some roboticness for this release. WTF? |

Do any of the songs actually sound live? |

Sounds good to me. I'm not incredibly excited about a live album with mostly songs that have already been on other live albums, but regardless I'll let my ears decide on Tuesday when I get the CD set. |

I was just looking at amazon and the album is currently at #66. I don't expect it to shift any big numbers but after the success of TWGMTR and the tour one has to ask:
Do you think this album will sell? Or will it only appeal to Beach Boys fans?
It doesn't even appeal to all the BB fans (i'm not touching this trainwreck of a cash-in), so it won't sell any copies to random punters (a la TWGMTR). A predictable disappointment  i'm saving the funds for the Boxed Set. |

Not too bad actually. Harmonies are questionable, and there's a tiny bit of painting on the bridge. Cleanest lead vocal on the album. |

A predictable disappointment i'm saving the funds for the Boxed Set. Yeah, I doubt I will be buying this one either unless clips that I hear impress me. It might sell a bit to non hardcore fans who attended the shows though. |

I'm buying it because it's nice to have official (semi) live versions of songs like California Saga, Forever etc.

It's summer soon, after all. |
