So here's a question: What's that kind of weird almost reverse-fill that the drums do a lot of the time in Brian's tunes? You can hear it at about 1:09 and 1:15 in "From there to Back Again." It's also in "This Whole World." I've just never heard it discussed, and I'm sure there's a name for it.

I'm a guitarist, so I may lack a drummer's terminology, but I checked out FTtBA, and it's just a series of simple snare fills, but the hook is that they're played dynamically, from quiet to loud. Almost sneaking up on you. It's a nice technique.
Same thing on "This Whole World," only the toms are introduced to the fills.

Well, it says "three records", but later in the article it says something about them having recorded a dozen songs. I think the 'three records' quote was referring to the fact that he's working with three distinct styles of music all at one time. Anyway, we finally have some titles:
"Right Time"
"Guess You Had To Be There"
"Metropolis"

If it really is

good then it indeed is unfortunate that it's no Beach Boys album. The description makes it sound like Beach Boys albums from the late 60s. Anyway, I'm very interested to hear the music

Brian's new addiction. The guy really hasn't changed.
'After lunch, Wilson asks a studio engineer to place an order for "supershots" – a viscous concoction of wheatgrass, spiraling and cayenne pepper, with a lime chaser. The rest of the group gags to get it down, but Wilson savors his. "I love the energy! I feel great already!" he says. "You think if I give them, like $100 they'll deliver eight or 10 of these to my house?
"I'm 70 years old," Wilson continues, leaning over the console, "but when I get to work I feel like I'm in my twenties again. I don't know why. I'm just in the groove."'

Very interesting! Hope he pulls it off, instead of 12 tracks hodgepodging the three projects together....
Really heartening to hear Al is featuring a lot on it, too.
Oh my god, that concoction sounds revolting.

Wel, you could. But I'm fine with TWGMTR as it is. Looking forward to official releases of Soul Searching and "Mystery". The new album will be a Brian release with contributions by Al and David to me, just what it will be
Who would have thought just 1 1/2 years ago that Brian would want to work with other Beach Boys?

Well, it says "Over a lunch of takeout chicken tacos, Wilson plays back a dozen unfinished songs" not that there are only a dozen unfinished songs existing. If you're talking three albums, you'd probably have more in the bank than that. Maybe he didn't play the journalist the suite tracks, maybe he was just playing a selection, maybe Joe Thomas was operating VLC player. But we're getting track titles at last! Oooo, speculation. A great 71st birthday gift.

Is it really his 11th solo album?
BW88
IJWMFTT
Imagination
Roxy
Gettin In Over My Head
BWPS (solo?)
Christmas album
TLOS
Disney
Gershwin
Well, I'll be. Wow. Okay, so it's only 4 albums of original material (aside from BWPS). But still.
I wonder if there's enough for a best-of, since most here are in agreement that his stuff has some very high "highs."

Roxy shouldn't count, otherwise you gotta count Pet Sounds Live. Better to count "Orange Crate Art", even though he was only a singer....still, his name was listed first.

Wheatgrass and cayenne pepper I'm familiar with - but what is 'spiraling'? Something that has a different name in American English than it does in British English?
EDIT: I think, after looking this up, it's a typo for 'spirulina'. Sounds yummy... not.

In interviews, Brian stated that Van Dyke did the vocal arrangements...he said he would come in, Van Dyke would teach him a part, he would sing it, then Van Dyke would teach him another part & he would sing that, etc. And Brian's name is listed first on the front and on the left spine, but Van Dyke's name is listed first on the right spine.

AGD and I had a back and forth on this a year or two ago, and the consensus seemed to be that Brian was indeed the uncredited vocal arranger for the album. Here's a rhetorical question: What other Van Dyke Parks album features any level of complex, multi-part vocal arrangements that just happen to sound exactly like the kind of thing Brian Wilson does? As for Brian's statements at the time, IIRC, they were more along the lines of "Van Dyke taught me this song line by line," which is considerably different than "part by part."
Also: In his contemporaneous book, Timothy White credits Brian with the vocal arrangements as well.

Sure would be fun to hear Orange Crate Art live. Maybe with Al on the verses, Brian doing the bridge! As the sun sets at the Greek Theatre? Yes please.
Showstopping applause as VDP trundles up all dapper and pushes Brian aside at the keyboard.
