i was hungry for new Brian Wilson material when this came out & enjoyed the album.
But as time has gone on I listen to it less and less, it has some pretty good songs but as others have commented the production is too shiny. It just doesn't sound very Brian Wilson to me and i suspect that Brian had little say in the final arrangements. BW88 has an odd production but I find fascinating to listen to, i much prefer GIOMH to this album. There are usually fascinating embellishments to listen to on Brian's albums but not with this one, it lacks character.

I'm glad to see there are others that love this album. For me VDP has done two great albums this one and Jump!
OCA is artfully nostalgic it Creates an America that should have been and which can live gorgeously sunset in our imagination. Brian's voice grounds it in California and to me he suits the material perfectly, the vocal arrangements are gorgeous.
I loved it when it came out and I still do it takes me to a great place, it is a welcome addition to the work of both of these guys.
