New album info (as it rolls out...)

[Runaways]

 

this is what i thought of.  granted, i don't own SIP or KTSA so my thoughts on "islandy songs" are skewed to little pad. 

Of course, there are no "islandy songs" on KTSA.

The credits on TWGMTR will be interesting. I hope it doesn't make me lose my believe in prior Brian Wilson-credits.

I don't think it's unheard of for people to purchase songs outright, credits and all.  If Peterik or whoever isn't credited...

Is that a joke? Surely, "Sunshine" more than qualifies as a piece of faux-island tripe.

Giving, sharing, selling, buying, and appropriating song credits has been going for a very long time. Credit with no money can be more valuable than money with no credit. Peterik's name will be there.

Ok all
after looking at the TWGCR promo, I noticed the ending seems to refer to the new CD as "The BEACH BOYS 50"
at least that is what It looks like to me...

"Five Guys Hang Ten" means about the same thing.

i don't get that sense at all

[hypehat]

Yeah, that's been the reunion logo since the reunion was announced iirc. Wonder if they'll go the self-titled route again, it doesn't seem to have a title yet.

[urbanite]

TWGMR would be a good title.

[stack-o-tracks]

Not enough vowels.

it's arguable, I'll give you that. but my point was, don't discount the album because you think it's full of kokomos when it's nothing of the sort.

i discount it because what i've heard is crap, never thought it was full of kokomos (which probably would be a popular album).  I was probably misremembering hearing more islandy songs on it

Yup. I thought the same thing after watching it this morning. I was so psyched about hearing the song, I didn't notice it yesterday, but this video rather plainly refers to the new album as 'The Beach Boys 50', or maybe the official title will simply be '50'. I  would have liked a title with more razzle dazzle, but I honestly don't know how else to interpret what it says. It could be that my original concept for the album title 'The Beach Boys Five-0' wasn't far off the mark.

[Runaways]

I saw it more as the logo that has been used on everything. 

[LostArt]

It is the logo that's been used on everything, but it may also be the title of the album.  Here's what it says:

             Brian Wilson, Mike Love
  Al Jardine, Bruce Johnston, David Matks

            The Beach Boys 50 (logo)
         The Brand New Studio Album
                     June 5, 2012

               Includes The New Hit
     "That's Why God Made The Radio"
                   Available Now

So, this promo video was produced with the thought that it would be released at the same time as or just after the single release (see Available Now) to promote both the single and the album.  Why then would they not put the name of the album on there?  Well, maybe they did.  "The Beach Boys 50", the brand new studio album.  Doesn't make sense to produce the video like this, and then go back later and change it to put the name of the album in there.  That's how I'm seeing it.  Of course, I could be wrong.  We'll see.

"50 Big Ones"!  My, how time flies.

If this is a test version of the commercial using the BB50 logo as a place setter, it is just a matter of replacing  the logo graphic with the new album artwork. I don't think that's a major editing job.

[Runaways]

i wish someone would hype up some of the songs on the album, i need some details on the original tunes

[Wilson Love]

Yes indeed.

[slickman9696]

Yea, it's probably not called Beach Boys 50. I mean, the promo did say the single was available now, and it's clearly not. All probably a place holder to show the guys what it would look like. Then they can give their yes or no to it and replace the appropriate information. But, as always, one could be wrong.

[Summertime Blooz]

Adele started the trend with her albums '19' and '21'. Now it's the Beach Boys' '50'.

This photo however, yuck. Nice hair, Al? And what is up with Bruce's scrunchface smile? It seems to get worse as the years go by. Its super annoying, and it always bothers me when I see photos with him looking like that, cuz it makes him look older, and the group look cheesier, in my opinion.

The BBs at low tide.... They look like parodies of themselves with the worst clothes the 1990s could offer.

they look great!

[Ron]

If it was just called "50"... that might make sense.  I hope they come up with something better, but something like "Summer's Over" isn't really any better.  I'd be alright with "50", though... but hopefully something more classy comes along. 

[Runaways]

holy sh*t i need to hear the wilson/love songs GAAAAAAAHHHH
