I've already voted (Matter of Time) but this is an album where I wish we could have access to the multi track masters and remaster it ourselves.  Personally I think "It's Getting Late" is a great song but it's the production on it that blows.

Who do you think we are, Culture Club?

Welcome back to a new round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR. Remember to be respectful of others opinions. Please don't spam the thread with too much opinionating (a little is ok  :D ).... and without further ado...

For me this album  is fraught with tracks which bear little resemblance to THE BEACH BOYS and far too much much resemblance to Culture Club. My least favorite Beach Boys album.

Quote
The Beach Boys is the self-titled twenty-fifth studio album by American rock band The Beach Boys, released on June 10, 1985. Produced by Steve Levine, the album is the band's first to be recorded after the death of founding member Dennis Wilson. It was also the first of the band's albums to be recorded digitally and released on CD. It's also the last album released by James William Guercio's Caribou Records.

For the album, the band hired Culture Club producer Steve Levine, who took them into the world of drum machines, synthesizers, sampling, and hi-tech recording technology. Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine all took an active role in the project, writing several new songs for it, with Stevie Wonder and Culture Club each donating a song. The album was recorded during summer 1984 at Red Bus studio in London, and Westlake Audio in Los Angeles during late 1984/early 1985. It features Motown artist Stevie Wonder on harmonica and keyboards on the song "I Do Love You", which he also wrote. Ringo Starr also appears on the track "California Calling" (Starr also appeared live with The Beach Boys in 1985 during the 4th of July concert in Washington D.C.). Noted guitarist Gary Moore features on all tracks playing both guitar and synthaxe.

Although "Getcha Back" (composed by Love and his new musical partner, former Byrds producer Terry Melcher), was a top 30 hit, the album only reached #52 in the U.S. (making it their highest charting album since the release of 1976's album 15 Big Ones). After the album, CBS Records let the band's contract expire, leaving them without a record deal for the first time in years.

Brian Wilson contributed a song written in 1982 by himself and Dennis Wilson called "Oh Lord", but the song did not make the final cut. Also cut from the album was a cover of "At the Hop" with lead vocals by Mike Love.

Darlin' I'm lost without you. But 15 others felt different.  

As usual vote for your least favorite track. The track with the most votes gets voted off.

Tally on May 5th

Getcha Back
It's Gettin' Late
Where I Belong
Male Ego

Round#1 - Passing Friend April 19
Round#2 - She Believes in Love Again April 21
Round#3 - California Calling April 23
Round#4 -Maybe I Don't Know April 25
Round#5 - I'm So Lonely April 27
Round#6 - Crack at Your Love April 29
Round#7 - I Do Love You May 1
Round#8 - It's Just a Matter of Time May 3

It's Getting Late. Time to vote this one out. 80's soft-core rock porn at it's worst.

GETCHA BACK

It's reputation as some sort of classic leaves me dumbfounded. I just do not get it.

To me, the other remaining tracks are infinitely superior: Male Ego is as close to a return to form as Brian managed in the '80's (with the group at least); It's Gettin' Late may be less than the sum of its parts, but many of those parts are fantastic, particularly the intro; and Where I Belong is just exceptional.

The Brianista Prayer

Oh Brian
Thou Art In Hawthorne,
Harmonied Be Thy name
Your Kingdom Come,
Your Steak Well Done,
On Stage As It Is In Studio,
Give Us This Day, Our Shortenin' Bread
And Forgive Us Our Bootlegs,
As We Also Have Forgiven Our Wife And Managers,
And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.
Amen.  ---hypehat
