I'm not the Dennis worshipper a lot of people are, but I do like this album, and think a number of the tracks could have infinitely improved the last two '70s BBs albums if they were cut by the band.

Go buy me another bottle of wine--I'm all out--and I'll agree with you, too. Yes, I'm just that easy.

What is that, French? Forget it -- I'm looking for a Spanish red, if you don't mind. I'm easy, but not THAT easy. And I'm not drinking it outside--this is Minnesota, sir!

Perfection. Dennis' finest hour. World-weariness, sex, cocaine, and alcohol combine to create this masterpiece of an album.

I sometimes prefer the Bamboo material. Dennis came awfully close to having a topnotch sophmore release.

If the rumors I've heard and read are true, I believe Bamboo was actually started BEFORE Pacific Ocean Blue. And considering that POB was his THIRD try at a solo album (Bamboo probably formed out of the wreckage of the 1972 solo album).

Errrrrr... actually, nope, think you've misunderstood the sequence.
POB
had its origins in the 1970/71 Wilson/Dragon/Desper
Poops/Hubba Hubba
sessions.
Bamboo
was being recorded before
POB
was released.
As for
POB
- majestic.

This is perhaps my favourite album of all time. And when it falls temporarily to second or third, it's still perfection itself.

I tell ya, I give this a 4 3/4...
One of me absolute favourite parts is 1:59 into River Song when buried over in the left channel something begins which sounds like an awesome organ solo... but as it progresses you realise it's a female vocalist going absolutely nuts... It sounds SO FUCKING COOL!!!

I'm new to this recording,but am very well impressed. Jasosn's summation of what went into it seems right on the spot. Another example of something great to which I was introduced here.

5/5. Perfection incarnate. I agree with AGD: Majestic is a very good word for it.
My third favorite Beach Boys officially released thing after Pet Sounds and Sunflower. Its just that good.

The first and best solo-Beach-Boy-album. Unbelievable, heavy stuff.... gets a 5

a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.
- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys

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.

Proof that the Boys' tastes and judgements sucked. If I was Mike or Al and I heard POB, I'd be kicking myself!

I'm not going to lie about this. I'm not even going to pretend.
I cannot "get into" this album. I've played it numerous times and nothing at all has clicked. The only part I remember enjoying was the start of "Moonshine" but I remember being very unimpressed with the rest.
eh, maybe I need to put more hours in.

There's no reason to pain yourself just to fit other people's tastes. I'm not quite with you, but I understand that point. I only like about half of it. Granted, I think it's better than the sh i t on MIU or LA, but to me it's just a good album, nothing approaching the classic or legendary status people give it.

MIU or LA,
I've listened to about three tracks off of each and that's it. Brought forth no hope of better things to come throughout the album so I never furthered my listening.
And for P.O.B, well, I dunno.
