i like this a whole lot, it's really out there.
i only have a problem with Here Today which to me is really annoying and reflects nothing of Brian Wilson and the version of You Still Believe in Me, when i hear that voice at the begining, i cringe.
all the smile(y) stuff is good though. Holidays on there is great.!

My only complaint is that they repeat songs. Having said that, it is my favorite BBs tribute.

I like it just for the fact that there's a band on it called Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her. I also like Secret Chiefs 3's version of Good Vibrations using the original Tony Asher lyrics and the hum de dum chorus (plus rejected parts from the GV sessions), a whole 6 years before Brian decided to resurrect those parts. Overall, an excellent album!

I saw this on CDNow around the time An American Family aired but didn't actually get to hear it for another nine years or so. I appreciated it as a gateway to Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her and Melt Banana, but overall I feel like the most of the artists present take too many liberties with the compositions (though in relativity to the 2012 Mojo Magazine covermount "Pet Sounds Revisted" I'd say it's pretty faithful.) Particularly disliked the Wind Chimes cover with added original lyrics, but really liked the synthed out version of Let's Go Away For A While.

I had no idea this was the title of a legit cd. It's the same title I gave to a mixtape cd about 10 years ago, with a mix of things that I felt were the most Smile Sounding. Pancreas by Wierd Al Yankovic, Pale and Precious by the Dukes of Stratosphere, Can't Wait Too Long by the Beach Boys (shock!), Overwhelming World Suite by America.
