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

[Zach95]

Who has the 30 second previews? I'm not seeing them on Amazon!

I don't think anybody does except those full versions supplied to certain people.

The Record Room!!   With your host Ian Wagner??

Man, is that board still going?  I useta read that one years ago!  Does Jon Hunt still post there? And Jeff Mason? And Becky? And Andy Rooney? And Jason Penick from Oakland?  Those people know their shtuff!  I'll have to mosey on over there and see whatsup!

Yeah, all those folks are still there! Jon Hunt co-runs the board. I'm married to Becky now. Come on back and see what's up.

Can you post a link? I think I found the right site, but the search function keeps bringing up a thread about The Monkees when I try to search.

Thank you. Summ-a-Briz's comments were very encouraging, weren't they?

When I click on this link I don't see anything about the new album. Can someone help a friend out?

Explore and learn

I thought I read on that board that somebody was listening to clips on Amazon. Perhaps a different Amazon site than the US? How does one get there? I've tried, and so far can't.

[LostArt]

Yeah, you know.  If you haven't already, head over to Ian and Jon's Record Room site, and read the review in the Mike Love interview thread, which is in the Rockin' Beach Boys Room, which is in the Rubber Room.  But do explore the other areas, as well.  Lots of good stuff.  The review has got me really excited to hear this album.  The suite is there.  It sounds like the album will have some BB cheese, but it sounds like the beginning and the end could be really good.  Thanks for the invite, Ian.  I should visit more often.

Referring to My Bloody valentine.

[Zach95]

Wow, those reviews combined with the twitter guy have got me beyond excited! SMILE INSTRUMENTS! LUSH HARMONIES! TIMPANI!

Everything sounded incredible, except for the steel drums. Damn those steel drums.

There are no clips on any Amazon.

The thread is in the beach boys sub forum under that link. But the thread about the interview with mike

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Right, no clips ON AMAZON.

OK, that thread has me ridiculously excited now.

We are getting a new Beach Boys record in 2012.  There's apparently going to be parts I'm not going to be crazy about, but there's going to be some stuff I'm going to love, which is more than I can say about basically any Beach Boys record since.....? 

One of the songs sounds Pet Sounds-ish?!?  Wow.

[Zach95]

One of the songs sounds Pet Sounds-ish?!?  Wow.

And that's not coming from Al!

[OGoldin]

And these are first impressions we are reading.  My first impression of TWGMTR was mild disappointment, but the more I hear it, the more amazing stuff there is to hear.  A lot of Brian's music is that way.  (I'm still waiting for MIU, though.)

[ArchStanton]

Spring Vacation does sound to be as awful as we all feared.  But I won't dwell on that.

[Runaways]

i'm super pumped for the last three tunes

Talking about an entirely different album.

here's another tweet

Matthew Horton ‏ @matthewjh
Listening to the new Beach Boys album again. There's a lot that's worthwhile here.

that same guy from uncut
John Mulvey ‏ @JohnRMulvey
@matthewjh "Good vibration" line is rich too. Start and end of LP are OKish I think, Autotune notwithstanding. No worse than recent Bri LPs.

the uncut guy has been dismissive of them in all his tweets pretty much, sounds like some of the posters here 

[Coachhill]

at 73 pages, there is a lot to read about the new album. Can anyone verify if the presale album on Amazon comes with a LP or not, the price seems to say there is something extra. 

[Fro]

If it's as good as Brian's solo stuff then it'll be the "best Beach Boys Album since Love You".

Nobody should be expecting another Pet Sounds/Smile.  I'm glad it's definitely not going to be a trainwreck.

I think that would be the first instance ever where you buy a CD and it comes with a free LP, as opposed to the other way round.

So, no. Maybe a DVD or something. It is coming out on vinyl separately, though.


Wonder if the LP will come with a download code.....
