You know what this sounds like to me? Business as usual. It seems like people on this board have
pretty selective memory sometimes (no offense meant).

But these guys get in tiffs all the time but in the end they go back to making music with one another because they know they work well together.
Don't worry I won't quote mike here via "as for the past it's all behind us"
oops.


As for the 'new BB album' talk
If i ever listen to TWGMTR about one third through I think 'please don't let this be their last album' but as those
last 3 songs roll in i'm quite all right with it.

Lookin' at tomorrow

John Cusack did an AMA on Reddit about 4 hours ago (it's actually still going on as he is still on there answering people's questions at a pretty rapid rate).

I got on and posted a question, didn't think he would answer but it turns out he did! So I asked what it was like to work with Brian and being on the set of Love & Mercy

majic all around.. he such a wonderful man.. really hjonered to get to know him and his wife.. very excited about the film

Yeah it's not much but still pretty cool. I guess he was in a rush haha.

Also, I realized that Bill Pohlad was the producer of 12 Years A Slave which was all over the Oscars this year so that makes me even more excited for this movie.

They are all great for different reasons. I refuse to choose.

I'm sick to death of hearing that Sgt Pepper is overrated.

I don't think it's overrated. When you average all the people who say its overrated and all the people who say it's the best thing they ever did... I would consider it perfectly rated.

Votes for All This Is That in the first round?! I'm pretty positive that track will win, easily the best on this album IMO even though it stands out like the sore thumb.

On the other hand I lack tolerance for most of Today's production  .

Do you mean "Today" like "present time" or "The Beach Boys Today! album"?

Today as in present time. The production on the Today! album is excellent, top-notch!

I would agree with that. I would say the production on all Beach Boys material since the late 80's has been pretty bad, Brian's solo work included.

Hold On Dear Brother, one of my least favorite beach boys tracks.

I dont understand the hate for He Come Down I think it's pretty grand.

I am a fan of the Beach Boys.

This album is very good as a whole. They definitely take a lot from older acts of the 60's / 70's but it really works.
If you still haven't checked this album out I definitely suggest you do.

They are all amazing!

I'm listening to Solar System and it is really good.

I love the Beatles. I don't hear too many people talk about them at all so it doesn't bother me at all. If they ever come up in conversation it's just fine.

Give the guy a break.

I can't tell is OP is trolling or not.
But either way I have to agree in some aspect
and I would have to say that from reading this board for a little while it seems that quite a few of you as well.
Consider how many "what if smile was released" threads there have been...

I don't know if I necessarily get 'sad' but I definitely do wonder 'what if' and I think that in some respects they did get better.
The band got to grow in so many different ways.
The struggles that they faced later in their careers forced them to try new approaches to music.

It's interesting to think about the flip side of popular opinion concerning the fabled smile release.
What if it had been released and been a complete flop.
Would The Beach Boys then have raced back towards what initially made them successful?

That may have led them to start the Mike 'I could have thrown the pigskin over the moon' Love regurgitations
much earlier than they did.

Holland is just more a solid album all the way through IMO
