One thing bugs me: the price for the vinyl on Amazon.
60 Euros?!?
And I'm going to buy it at the record shop, where it's going to be more expensive still...
Price for the vinyl now down to 29.99 Euros. That's more like it!
Just listened to the previews again, found them more pleasurable than when they were first out.
According to Amazon, release day in Germany is now April 3rd - which is a nationwide holiday. No shops open, no delivery by postal services.

Amazon.com has previews up too now, different from Google Play!
http://www.amazon.com/Pier-Pressure-Deluxe-Brian-Wilson/dp/B00TB5M9T0/ref=tmm_msc_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&sr=1-1&qid=1425860266
Edit: Seem like the last 10 seconds of these samples are where the Google Play previews pickup (so now it's possible to make 50 second previews if anyone desires too lol). And, you can hear Musgraves and Blondie a bit in their songs.

I now GUARANTEE "This Beautiful Day" has some connection to the "Life" suite.
Beautiful Dancer is the song we deserve. F*ck yes.
Whatever Happened is AAAAAAAAAAH yes. Them harmonies.
On The Island is like Busy Doin Nothin
Half Moon sounds like our new Bdubs instrumental highlight
Our Special love is still awesome.
The Right Time is still fun.
Guess You Had To Be There isn't my cup of tea, but it sounds like some Sunflower Brian
Don't Worry is BDubs 88 back in full swing and I love it
Somewhere Quiet is trippy to finally hear
I'm Feelin Sad is probably a highlight for me
Tell Me Why is my girlfriends favorite so far and i really like it
Sail Away... BLONDIE. This is Carl and The Passions doods
One Kind of Love is slowly growing on me
Sat Night is a radio hit in progress, can't wait for this to go big
The Last Song... my heart why this makes me cry as much as Summer's Gone.
Looking FU*CKING good guys.
I'm sitting here wondering how the hell Brian Wilson made Runaway Dancer in 2015. What?! WHAT!?! This is some real Brian here, doing what he wants.

What's with the cheesy 80s porn brass and classical guitar licks in some of the tracks? Imagination all over again! But with promising songs to accompany it.

I honestly think that adds a lot to it.
This feels so much more like a Brian album then many if not all of his past solo work.
Awkward in all the right ways.

Sounds more like 50's style Miles Davis horn playing to me. I dig it.

Indeed. More like Kind of Blue meets Nelson Riddle arrangements...I dig it too.

Yes. Of course when this comes out we'll deal with the trashing by the usual suspects: Can we scream "autotune" loud enough to get attention, even when people at the sessions tell us otherwise?. Given the singers on this (and the guy who produced it who has a well-proven - like, over 50 years - track record for making mediocre singers sound great next to amazing singers in the studio), I don't think "autotune" will be an issue.
Meanwhile, a lot of us will sit by the water with a nice drink listening to what appears so far to be a truly mellow, healing (Brian is officially known for this, check NPR), delightful Brian Wilson creation. I like my Spring/Summer plans already.

I'm very happy for those who don't have an issue with the production. I mean, I wish I didn't so I could just truly enjoy the music!
Judging by the previews this album is better than a Brian Wilson album has any right to be this late in the game, so it's truly a great gift to us all. The songwriting seems really good.
But I'm having a hard time with the production values. All the overtly pitched vocals and cheesy Joe Thomas production touches are not my cup of tea at all.
It takes away from my enjoyment of the album. A great deal. I mean, the last Beach Boys album had the same issues. There were some top notch songs on it and the songwriting and cohesion was better than anyone could have expected. But boy, was the production hard for me to listen to. My favorite songs on the album are From There To Back Again and Pacific Coast Highway, but even on those songs I can't help but feel the emotional impact on me suffers from the overtly pitched vocals. Al's still a hell of singer and doesn't need to sound robotic. I hope people won't write angry responses to this message, cause I've been quite clear that this is my personal opinion. And through the years I've come to enjoy this place for people's critical views. This has always been a place for people that thought for themselves, that dug deeper than others, that turned stones. People that don't let commerce and clever press releases whip them up.

This. I don't even want to visit this board on the 7th because I know the usual group of posters will be spouting their unwarranted repetitious negativity....not that I'm at all opposed to critiques and discussing things I don't like about the album, but I really hope it doesn't devolve into the usual pages long anti-Brian diatribes.

So you've heard all of NPP? I haven't heard anything so far that makes Al sound robotic, or anyone else for that matter. Brian has always used strong production techniques, back when autotune didn't exist. I would imagine he's produced NPP in the same manner.
