allmusic gives 4/5 to almost anything that gets released. It gives 4.5 and 5 to many that dont deserve it. Slightly optimistic critics at that site for my taste but great for the group!  Grin

They gave 2/5 to a great Rufus wainwright album and some really good mando diao albums.  So I have my issues with them ha.  I think TLOS got a 3/5 from them

to me "Isn't it time" reminds me of "suzie cincinnati" especially that thick basslline,,
Yes, in some way it does remind of SS.

don't tell me that!

And yet.

Go to the iTunes store main page - NOTHING.

Go to the iTunes main page for just Music - NOTHING.

Let's not start getting disgusted yet, Capitol might actually get it right this time..

I doubt it though

to be fair, i don't think there's any point on advertising an unreleased album on iTunes

Actually, you're incorrect: on the front page they advertise prominently all the upcoming releases. The Beatles' Yellow Submarine songbook (which will also be released tomorrow) has been the most easily viewable thing on that whole page for weeks now. But there's no sign of the Beach Boys, even when you navigate to the music only page of the store.

In general, I think many people on this board tend to see through rose-colored glasses. It's understandable given that by coming to this board every day, you're basically surrounded by those who've drunk the Kool-Aid. But when it comes to the Beach Boys' overall stature and presence in the public mind, I find there's a gaping discrepancy between what people here want to believe and what the truth actually is.

Well you don't have to lump me into your generalization after one comment.  I don't go on itunes' home page much, and after I looking at it, i suppose you're right.  That doesn't mean I'm clueless on the Beach Boys' public stature (or have Anyang to do with it).  Please tell me what you think I believe about the band's public stature.

heeeyyyy 3.5/5 from allmusic is pretty good.  i'm not gonna look at metacritic too much.  I don't think it's gonna get much better than 3/5
305  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: So is it as good as TLOS then? on: June 03, 2012, 10:30:35 PM
wirestone seems to think david isn't on the album.

No one has yet to provide me with a single moment where he's audible. I think the notion that he's actually on the record is a polite fiction.

you're talking guitars right? you don't think he plays guitars "audibly" on the album because of the other guitarist credited isn't someone you put on the sideline?

It's just not been promoted in the UK, Simple as that..

oddly enough TLOS, Gerswhin and Disney all charter higher in the US :-p
(i'm just teasing)
310  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Number #1 on: June 03, 2012, 07:28:26 PM
and i thought the UK appreciated the beach boys more. eh?
311  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson Biopic? on: June 03, 2012, 05:58:38 PM
i kinda don't think they need to cast a chub to do the role ._.

though i wonder if this is gonna have a different actor for each era (they do that)
312  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Brian Wilson Biopic? on: June 03, 2012, 04:58:03 PM
I can't think of any actors out of my head atm that looks close enough to him but then again, they're doing atm a new film about Hitchclock and Anthony Hopkins has the role, look how incredible it looks like with bunch of make up and stuff :
http://cinema.critictoo.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Anthony-Hopkins-en-Hitchclock.jpg

who would have thought ?
so yeah, maybe Christian Bale could do the part!

anyway, it's a shame nothing is coming out yet but i guess we can be happy with the fact they're doing something with Dennis Wilson and that the amazing Aaron Eckhart is taking the role, can only be good!

it'd be a stretch for bale to be childlike, plus he was already dylan.  I'd be curious if he could pull it off.
313  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Number #1 on: June 03, 2012, 04:49:52 PM
hopefully that translates to billboard.
314  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: So is it as good as TLOS then? on: June 03, 2012, 04:42:15 PM
i have a feeling the highs of TWGMTR are higher than TLOS.  Usually that's what keeps me coming back to an album.
315  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: The \ on: June 03, 2012, 03:57:51 PM
i think it was embellished a bit too, but i think i could go along with the guys wanting it to be a beach boys song
316  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Soundscan Album Sales - Week ending May 27th, 2012 on: June 03, 2012, 10:14:22 AM
I love Neil, but I'm way more excited for TWGMTR than Americana. Isn't that album just going to be him covering a lot of traditional American standards?

Guardian gave it the same grade as TWGMTR heh

Thanks for the videos, Justin !!

I think Justyn's (?) Carl part was a little shaky. Darian does a killer singing on that.

bah, i thought he sounded perfect, and he sounded like his pop.  Great stuff.
319  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Anyone Else Finding Excuses To Drive Just To Listen To This Album? on: June 03, 2012, 09:39:29 AM
yeah i have the single on a CD and it sounds awesome in a car stereo.  Once i buy the cd i'm gonna drive around for 40 minutes listening to it.
320  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: Beach Boys Stole \ on: June 03, 2012, 09:25:33 AM
if you look at the first page of when the clip of TWGMTR, however long ago that was.  on the very first page...this was mentioned. 
321  Smiley Smile Stuff / Concert Reviews / Re: Show 24: Hollywood Bowl - Hollywood, CA 6/2/12 (PICS/VIDEOS/REVIEWS) on: June 03, 2012, 04:55:13 AM
whoa that sounds like carl *mind explosion*
322  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: New album info (as it rolls out...) on: June 03, 2012, 04:48:54 AM
Hmmm... The chorus of "Shelter" is very familiar. If you listen closely to "Thinkin Bout You Baby" sung by Shannon Marie, you will notice the relationship to "Shelter" is very obvious. Since ""Thinkin Bout You Baby" was later redone by Brian as the know very well known "Darlin". And yes "Darlin" aund "Shelter" are the same song.  ;

it's been discussed a few times
323  Smiley Smile Stuff / General On Topic Discussions / Re: So is it as good as TLOS then? on: June 02, 2012, 08:47:54 PM
lol Let's not get into ridiculous discussions now, even tho TWGMTR has some solid moments (Life Suite mostly) nothing is near as good and well made as the songs on TLOS ! i mean, just listen to this :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0zrvCWJZQ0
just listen man.



I hate this song!

yeah i don't care for that song either.  it's not just MOR, it's old fashioned 1951 mor!

Agayn I sez...

Brianism of the century: "It was nuts," Wilson says. "It was a nutbuster."

super amazing.
