Of the three songs which have been released, I like "Sail Away" the best. I really liked Blondie's voice too.

Great!
Great falsetto by Matt (?) as well!

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Thanks for posting!!
WOW
the whole song is amazing - but this coda is really good. That bass harmonica really adds a great tone to the chorus (I know it's far from a 60s Spector production, but the chorus has so many elements that add up to a sort of 'Wall of Sound' - vocals, instruments, etc - really gives it a classic Beach Boys sound). Blondie sounds really damn good, Al - 'nuff said.
This is probably my favorite upbeat Brian tune since This Whole World. You can really tell he put a lot into this album. Can't wait to hear the whole record!

God must’ve smiled the day Brian Wilson was born!
"ragegasm" - /rāj • ga-zəm/ : a logical mental response produced when your favorite band becomes remotely associated with the bro-country genre.
Ever want to hear some Beach Boys songs mashed up together like The Beatles' 'LOVE' album? Check out my mix!

Wow...I've been looking forward to hearing that particular tune, and it does not disappoint! What a great sound, and a very enjoyable song. Still can't wait to hear "Saturday Night" in its entirety.

Uh... meh. Once again, sadly, I'm not feeling the love. It's like a third-generation MOR photocopy of Sloop John B, with knowing little hints to the 12-string guitar, the flute riff and the glockenspiel parts from that song.
As I said about Runaway Dancer, I like that Brian is trying new things, even if RD hasn't quite clicked for me. But this is just a watered-down Imagination B-Side.
I don't gain any joy from saying that. Props absolutely to Brian for continuing to do what he does best, especially considering all that he's been through and at his age! But I don't think this track is ever going to be one of my favourite works by him. That's prolly just me... I'm ill in bed with a vomiting virus, so I'm not in the best place to assess...!

Holy crap! Epic. The Sloop call backs don't bother me much. So powerful and uplifting. This album is shaping up to be better than TWGMTR and Imagination for me. Haven't listend to any samples, so I'm really excited to discover the full album.

"He also says he contributed a new song called “One Kind of Love” to “Love & Mercy,” the forthcoming biopic about his life in theaters June 5."
Has this been mentioned before?

On our way through this "backstage" maze, Bruce joined up with the group and said hello, singing "It Never Rains in Southern California" and joking with some of the older ladies. I'm not sure if they knew he was a Beach Boy or simply an enthusiastic elderly gay gentleman.

To each his own, and you're certainly within your rights to not like the song, but this is a pretty high standard to set.

The beginning of Sail away starts off super strong. I was even getting a little "Love You" vibe from the bass harmonica. The first verse's melody reminded me of something like Solar System as well.
After Brian's verse it really trails off.

Doing my very best to abstain from listening to any more clips or full songs from the album, until its release. Gonna be hard, but I want to get the full, proper album experience of listening to songs I've never (sans The Right Time) heard before.

Argh, this stuff is always released when I'm at school and can't listen. I was most looking forward to this track, so I can't wait to hear it in a few hours!
Do the right thing and drop out of school.

I can totally understand where you're coming from, but at the same time life is such that we should sometimes take it one day at a time and enjoy what's here and available in the present rather than waiting for things to happen in the future. I'd say listen to a full song like this today along with any of the full songs that are coming out before the album itself, and if you enjoy it, you've done something to make today even better.

The Right Time, Runaway Dancer, Sail Away ... all really great stuff!
No Pier Pressure really benefits from all the added voices. So far I'm totally blown away by these first three complete tracks from NPP.

"Sail Away" is going to be an earworm, I guarantee it. Very, very nice.

Somehow I missed that quote. Love it and agree, of course. Sail Away is so rich I want to lick it or something...Yep - just played it on the big speakers - Haagen Dazs Dulce de Leche, for sure...

So many synths! This is one of those tracks where you hear more and more each time you listen through. Wish Blondie had more lead vocal lines, though.

This is THE BEACH BOYS! They're back.
Great song, Sail Away is my fave so far. I am pretty sure the Vegas version will blow us away too.
