However, it suffers from the usual BW Band problem - the massed vocals sounding just more MOR AOR than I'd like - just a little bit bland, the guts EQd and mixed out of them. This is mostly four or five men's voices but sounds too much like something from a Val Donnican Christmas Special. And also it would be nice if one could hear the individual parts as I bet these are gorgeous harmonies, but just sound like a vague wash. TLOS suffered from the same problem) Could be due to the low bitrate of the stream/mp3 and perhaps a little related over-compression.
The exact reason I don't really listen to TLOS or BWPS that often. I know it sounds crazy to many but I prefer GIOMH because at least Brian's backing vocals have some sort of feeling, a texture to them that is more listenable to me than the overly smooth sound when his band sings.
To the song: at first I wasn't that impressed but after several listens that's changed. Subtle, but very good. Wonderful arrangement. Another one of those far out tags, too. Definitely excited to hear the rest of the album.
Glad I'm not the only one who's mildly bothered by this.
The demo of TLOS was better in many respects that the official version in that the vocals were more rough and ready and better for it, especially Southern California which was ruined in the final version. The thing with the BVs on a lot of BW's stuff is that i hear no men... I know they're in there but there's none of the sweet rough honey we used to get with the Beach Boys, now its all wet blanket, spoonfull of blancmange, margarine. Can't believe it's not Beach Boys... (a joke probably just for the British). ;)
Why? They sell "I can't believe it's not butter here in the US" also...

They had that commercial over here too years ago.

I'm glad to hear it. You never know with adverts - the US and UK have different approaches to food.
Have you tried it? It tastes just like margarine. Vile.
Jay:
I am so very tempted to try to hear some of this before it gets released. ;D But I think I'm going to wait until I have the cd in my hand, and I can hear the whole thing at once. I tried really hard to do that with TLOS. It didn't work. :lol
Ron:
This one song I'm sure will be the 'single' although it doesn't really work like that anymore, nothing wrong with listening to the released single before the album comes out. Just limit yourself to that one song.
