Love Surrounds Me

long, slow and boring.
I agree with you, only correction it is
still
long, slow & boring.
Nonsense. Dennis dared to be different. The rest of the group were (terminally) stuck in the past. That's the reality.

At least Brian became by the early 70's when he regressed into his oldies music. He didn't approve of the guitar driven hippie period and since his efforts were recieved lukewarmly after PS he slowly gave up and decided what the audience wanted was not something he was prepared to make.
Carl and Dennis tried to stay contemporary and Mike& Al could be contemporary when directed so. Brian however was the real oldies guy. Bruce was a joke. the least hippest dude to live on the west coast.

Where and when did Brian state he didn't approve of the guitar driven hippie period? Would like to read the quote(s). (I ask, because he picked several songs from this period for his 'Brian Wilson presents Beach Boys Classics' album - and in fact he also chose two songs specifically from this period when discussing songs which almost made the cut on the album's inner sleeves! Is this perhaps a case of you personally imagining Brian disapproved of this period and so you're claiming it as fact...?).

I've only expressed my own unpopular opinion. Not gonna change it in further future. But I respect your devotion to Dennis's music.

Yes, you're probably right. I just felt I needed to point out the incongruity of his remark.

All roads lead to Kokomo. Exhaustive research in time travel has conclusively proven that there is no alternate universe WITHOUT Kokomo. It would've happened regardless.

I'm really digging the Beach Boys '85 album lately. Particularly the Carl numbers. "It's Gettin' Late," "Maybe I Don't Know," and "Where I Belong" are real gems.

Agreed, Carl stole the show on that album.

Cabinessence and Do You Like Worms are my least favorite tracks on Smile.
I like the verses on Cabinessence, they're mellow and kind of spooky, but then the chorus jumps in, very big and kind of ruins the atmosphere. The chorus isn't that impressive to me, either.
I like the drum intro to DYLW a lot, but it kind of falls of for me after that, although I do like the phrasing of "rock, rock, roll, Plymouth rock, roll over."

I wrote somewhere I do not like Evie Sands's version of Wouldn't It Be Nice (To Live Again). I have since then changed my mind, think it is an awesome song! Listened to it a lot the past days.

My unpopular BB opinion...'Time to Get Alone' is way overrated. Its an ok song, but not one that lives up to the standards set by Brian before 1967.
Maybe if it was recorded by Redwood, it could have made sense. But with a BB production, nope.

Maybe so, but there is nothing as pretty as "deep and wide" section. Just stunning!

I agree that the chorus isn't nearly as beautiful as the verses. But the music does go very well with the lyrics. First there's the calm and quiet country side, and then this big, steaming iron horse comes rolling by. It's quite brilliant how Brian captured that in the music.

Mmm...since its an personal opinion, I gotta admit it doesnt do it for me: Dont like the break, nor the echo, nor how the voices harmonize there. But I do like how Carl comes after and saves the melody.
But again, its not a song as big as most people in this board put it. That's why its an unpopular point of view

I love Cabinessence for this particular part alone:

I too think the bridge of Time To Get Alone is pretty lame compared to the rest of the song... I feel the same way about the bridge of I'll Bet He's Nice. Not every song needs a bridge Brian!

Funny you would post that.... I like "Time To Get Alone" a lot, but I could see it as being overrated. However, I NEVER liked the "deep and wide" part. I always found it out of place and annoying. It never made any sense to me how that part "fit" the rest of the song.
