Title: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Eric Aniversario on May 23, 2012, 12:11:15 AM I think it would. Just going by the combined samples on amazon and itunes, I hear lots of great stuff, but I think that Spring Vacation would make a great follow-up single to TWGMTR. Classic Mike/Brian lead vocal trade off, fun vibe, modern sound. Could do well on AC radio, maybe even pop stations.
That being said, (again going by just the samples), I think my personal favorite is "From There To Back Again". Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: cablegeddon on May 23, 2012, 12:25:23 AM It's a little late for that.
Sounds like a likely single but the lyrics feel a little bit over the top. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: cablegeddon on May 23, 2012, 12:33:24 AM Beaches in mind is the best second single IMO.

Post by: stack-o-tracks on May 23, 2012, 01:03:58 AM I think it should have been the first single, but since it wasn't, I'd definitely be okay with it being the second.
Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: TonyW on May 23, 2012, 01:12:27 AM I can only think of one word to describe Spring Vacation and it starts with an "H" ...
HORRENDOUS! Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Cabinessenceking on May 23, 2012, 01:50:20 AM Spring Vacation is a crap song and one does not need to be a musical expert to see this. Most of it boils down to the heinous lyrics.
This song will be placed over the fire when the album is released and the reviews show up. And God forbid they even make it a B-side... what a calamity after a great song like TWGMTR. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Phoenix on May 23, 2012, 02:55:46 AM I actually enjoy it more than TWGMTR and I think that song is fine. "Spring Vacation" isn't rockket science but neither was "Fun, Fun, Fun". :)
Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: phirnis on May 23, 2012, 02:57:46 AM To me, "Spring Vacation" seems like a new "Summer of Love" albeit with a BW writing credit and some of the poor rhyming here isn't even worthy of "Belles of Paris".
I think "Shelter" might actually make a decent 2nd single. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single?

It is more of a Beach Boys type song than anything else on the album, including TWGMTR. I'll bet it is the next song we hear on AC stations this summer.That being said, (again going by just the samples), I think my personal favorite is "From There To Back Again". Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Lowbacca on May 23, 2012, 04:23:25 AM I don't like the tune (maybe it'll grow on me with the actual release and the months/years to come) - but I agree, I guess it would make a fairly good single.

I'm hoping to hear ANY of the songs on the radio. Heard "God/Radio" just once, on ESPN's Mike & Mike show. Figured the local AC/pop radio station would add it to their playlist, but no dice. Pop/Rock radio today is little more than endlessly playing songs over 20 years old over and over... Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: buddhahat on May 23, 2012, 04:39:23 AM Agree with a lot of the sentiments about SV, although it's kind of a guilty pleasure for me - I like the chords of the verses.
My vote for 2nd single would go to Isn't It Time. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single?

My vote for 2nd single would go to Isn't It Time. Yeah, 'Isn't it time' sounds great. It has a sort of 80s Beach Boys feel ('It's gettin' late' or something) but has that kind of plinky-plonk Brian rhythmic groove to it. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Runaways on May 23, 2012, 07:40:00 AM i wouldn't want this to be the second single at all, i find it very catchy, but no. It's not gonna be a hit, the boys aren't gonna have a hit, so there's no reason to put a song out just because it sounds like a single. I'd say put out the best next song.
Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Ziggy Stardust on May 23, 2012, 08:31:33 AM It probably will be the second single.. but, a good second single ? this is as lame as Wipe Out, Summer Of Love and all of those things... it's gonna be Summer In Paradise all over again, except the rest of the album doesn't sound that terrible.
Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: seltaeb1012002 on May 23, 2012, 08:36:51 AM The record feels great. Better than TWGMTR to me.
I agree with the guy that said it should've been the 1st single. Talk about bad timing. Unless they plan on stretching the album out until Spring 2013. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Jon Stebbins on May 23, 2012, 08:39:21 AM I think "Spring Vacation" is overly cliched and that "Shelter" should be the next single.

I think "Shelter" might actually make a decent 2nd single. I agree- Shelter would be the best choice for a second single. It's the most contemporary sounding track, goes down smooth, and the chorus is catchy is hell. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: EgoHanger1966 on May 23, 2012, 09:43:49 AM Shelter? Yes.
Spring Vacation? F*ck no! Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Aegir on May 23, 2012, 09:59:18 AM Shelter sounds a lot less contemporary than Spring Vacation.

Yes, it's very catchy and personally I think it might appeal to both the fun-in-the-sun fans and the Mojo readers. To me it sounds a bit like 80s Beach Boys, in a good way - and with more genuine BW involvement (sounds like he definitely wrote the verses and the bridge). Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Sheriff John Stone on May 23, 2012, 11:19:23 AM After we heard that little sound clip a few weeks ago - and hammered it - who would've thought it? But, based on the samples, "Spring Vacation" is the catchiest, and Brian is prominent on it. WE'VE heard the retro lyrics ad nauseum, but the casual fans have not. They might embrace them.
I like "That's Why God Made The Radio" a lot, but was it too hyped before we heard it? To name the album after it and have it as the lead off single? Like mentioned above, it might've been better to go "Spring Vacation", then "TWGMTR". Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Runaways on May 23, 2012, 11:23:13 AM i still think i'd rather have the band put out an overall good song than just the catchiest, which spring vacation definitely is. The only reason you'd put out spring vacation is to try and have a hit, but that's not gonna happen. If they're gonna put out another single, i would rather it represent the best on the album. because most of the internet will only hear the singles, might as well show off the best to lure people to buy the album.
Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: keysarsoze001 on May 23, 2012, 11:29:46 AM I don't know about a single, but it feels like the sort of thing which should go on a movie soundtrack during a montage or something. It sounds enough like Stunt-era Barenaked Ladies that I could see it working in sort of a romantic comedy or basically accomplish the same vibe that like "We Go Together" does at the end of Grease. That last comparison isn't a compliment, per se, but just a statement. I think it succeeds as what it's trying to be, a car-top down, summery smiley shiny wind-in-your-hair song. It's the track for which the crunchy Pro-Toolsy production seems the most appropriate to me.
If they made it a single, I wouldn't be upset, per se, because most of the rest of the album feels like deep cuts so far, but I wouldn't be enthusiastic about it, per se, unless it led new people to become fans. That's no worse in my mind than new fans being gained by grooving to something silly like "Dance Dance Dance". Whatever the gateway drug, I approve. ;) Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: stack-o-tracks on May 23, 2012, 11:50:56 AM What's so bad about the lyrics? They're nostalgic in a cheesy way that only Mike Love could get away with. Mike verses/Brian chorus and those soaring background harmonies. Sick guitar solo.
Y'all a bunch of h8888888888ers. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: EgoHanger1966 on May 23, 2012, 01:04:05 PM Also, remember that when we first heard Spring Vacation, the comments were pretty unfavorable. That song takes a bunch of plays to wear you down, until you start humming it everywhere you go. :)
Singles need to be accessable, grab you from the first listen. When I first heard Shelter and Isn't It Time, I was totally intrigued from the get-go and wanted to hear more. That's the mark of a good single. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: the professor on May 23, 2012, 03:40:37 PM What does put out a single really mean technically these days? Once the album is out, I mean?
Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Rocky Raccoon on May 23, 2012, 04:06:35 PM I think Strange World would be the best choice for a second single.
Though honestly, they don't need a second single unless they want to put something out for a record store day on vinyl. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: runnersdialzero on May 23, 2012, 04:19:23 PM What does put out a single really mean technically these days? Once the album is out, I mean? A song used to promote an album or band, just as it has for the past several decades. I guess if you're referring to "What does a single mean in the digital age?", probably just a song used for promotional purposes with the hopes of it selling digital copies while also still promoting the album/band.

I will say I love the embarrassment of riches in this album, as evidenced by the controversy over what the next single is. I have been haunted all night, in a good way, with all the tunes in the 90 second samples playing in my head, ranging from Isn't it Time to summer's gone. Please do not be daunted by the predictable reviews that hear words like "beach" and "car" and are incapable of disassociating them from nostalgia. Let the professor say one more time that the concept of nostalgia plays a narrative role in the larger philosophical progression in this album. I am in awe of what I have heard, and the tidal wave is forming; let those without ears be scattered in its wake. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single?

That last comparison isn't a compliment, per se, but just a statement. BNL actually put out some really good songs during the Stunt era...Alcohol, In the Car, When You Dream, She's On Time, Told You So, Some Fantastic...Don't be downplaying the Ladies... In the early 90s, Steve Page would sing "Mama Says" and get the audience clapping along right before they'd go into "Brian Wilson". How can one not like a band with a major hit that namechecks Smiley Smile? But back on topic...How about Daybreak as a single?

Post by: Melt Away on May 25, 2012, 07:24:13 AM Before I heard the song I was hearing some sh*t talk about the lyrics in SV. After listening to the full song, I like it! It's a pretty laid back tune but I don't really get the elevator music laid back vibe, more like, smoking a joint outside in the sun kinda laid back. I like the "Get up, Get up" part. "Isn't it Time" is another contender but I think the BBs will side with SV over it just because it's more commercial. "Shelter" would be a horrible choice since Foskett has his skeet all over that track, blegh. I can't wait for this record.

How can one not like a band with a major hit that namechecks Smiley Smile? But back on topic...How about Daybreak as a single? I was knocking Grease, not BNL. I've seen them like half a dozen times. Their legacy will probably be that of a novelty band, because their hit singles have primarily supported that view, but you don't have to dig very deep at all to find some fantastic stuff of theirs. The "Are Me"/"Are Men" double album was outstanding. "Daybreak" could be a single, but I'd be surprised if they used it since they're by and large using the old Brian's Back frame of mind with most of the promotional stuff.

Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: cablegeddon on June 11, 2012, 06:52:16 AM Beaches in mind is the best second single IMO. After listening to the full album I still stand by my statement. Isn't it time is too weak, not enough hooks, not catchy enough. Spring time is good but it's just hopelessly outdated an cheesy. Beaches in mind is the onyl song other than TWGMTR that has hit potential in this day and age.

Isn't it Time has that quirky sparseness that has made recent hits like Someone That I Used to Know and We Are Young huge. It's definitely the best chance on the album of the boys impacting the 2012 music scene!

Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Runaways on June 11, 2012, 10:06:17 AM Isn't it Time is the only song production/sound wise that would fit on modern radio

Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Summertime Blooz on June 12, 2012, 05:16:02 PM Since it's not 1975, I'd say Spring Vacation would not be a good single. Daybreak Over the Ocean is the way to go for promotional purposes.
The album is all the way down to #60 on iTunes already- an alarming drop, I think. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single?

BTW "Summer's gone" reminds me a lot of that song from a few years ago that actually was a hit. Can't remember the name or the artist. It went something like "there are 9 million bycicles in...". Anyone remember it ? Great tune Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single? Post by: Aegir on June 16, 2012, 01:50:57 PM actually, you're wrong. That's Why God Made the Radio and Isn't It Time are tied in first with 12/12. every other song on the album is tied in 2nd with 9/12. Well I'm not gonna tell you you're wrong, our itunes are saying different things. I tried refreshing a couple times, still got this (http://i49.tinypic.com/s5z6s6.png) 11/12 for TWGMTR, 12/12 for Isn't It Time. hmm, that's weird. alright, sorry!

Post by: Wah Wah Wah Ooooo on June 16, 2012, 05:29:01 PM Ugghhh...terrible choice for second single. I think SV is tied with "Beaches In Mind" for worst song on the album...and it's not really even close. The lyrics suck and the music is just so incredibly bland...the guitar is so 90s AC...boring.
"Isn't it Time" is really the only song I can see as a single from this album. Title: Re: Who else thinks that Spring Vacation would make a good 2nd single?
