THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS GUYS!!!!

Shelter has a very catchy chorus tho (thanks Jeff).

Only the two last clips sounds promising ..
the rest seems like a bunch of Kokomo-like with full of Autotune (for most of the part)

Isn't it sad ? it's their first album in i don't know how many years, celebrating 50 years of career, 50 years of a band that is well known for harmonies and vocals performance, and that special album ends up being an extreme use of Autotune.. such a shame
i just wished That Lucky Old Sun was recorded with The Beach Boys and that it was the last album (well if God Made The Radio is the last one..
if not, then let's hope they come up with something more solid and natural)

Oh well, these were just clips yet it shows a lot of the production and the songs atmosphere..
maybe i'll dig them after listening to the album, i'm sure i'll be likin' the two last or three songs (poor Al, massive Autotune on his great voice),
but the rest sounds like guilty pleasures at best.

So they're not playin' This Whole World anymore

Wow, all of this sounds quite sad

[Horrendous autotune]

Spring Vacation is horrendous.

Horrendous production

Horrendous autotune

Horrendous lyrics

Horrendous guitar solo

Ok so it's the full songs.

Yeah man, that production .. dear lord

but anyway, these are the full songs, aren't they ?

digging your avatar ziggy

Haha yeah thanks, love Alex Ross work.

Yeah man, that production .. dear lord

but anyway, these are the full songs, aren't they ?

Well, the theme for this Reunion album is reunion itself. And seems to be done in a pretty classy way.

TATD... Beautiful. Brian is actually singing falsetto in a new BB song. I'm speechless.

SV... I like that one very much. Can't forget the bashing this one got when a snippet leaked. Shame on you, people! I think the lyrics, in their expected simplicity, are sincere as hell. This guys mean what they're singing. And it shows.

lol...

Did I just see a compassion between "FHTBA" and "Surfs Up"?!?

HOLY FU*KING SHOOT.

summ-a-briz just said it's comparable to midnight's another day, just with the beach boys.  That's about what i was hoping for!

I think that's more likely, and it's good cause that's what i've been wishin' for! can't wait to hear this.

Mike is recognized as the lead singer and MC of the group, in addition to being responsible for many of the concepts, lyrics, and hooks on the majority of songs that are still regarded as some of the most performed and most played songs in modern music history.Among these hits are, "Good Vibrations", "Kokomo", "Fun, Fun, Fun", "I Get Around", "Surfin' Safari", "Help Me Rhonda","Do It Again", and "California Girls".

"Wait until Obama doesn't have to try anymore, you're fun in teh sun, dawg."

I'm actually very surprised they never covered any The Duprees songs... even Bob Dylan did.

Bruce has done two good songs in his entire career: Deidre and Disney Girls. Now that's two more than me, but still... Always been my least favourite Beach Boy.

And your screename is Disney Boy (1985).

[Under A Tree In San Diego.]

Sounds like a grand total of one track (Daybreak) has circulated. If AGD isn't familiar with any of the others, that's about as definitive as it gets. And I agree with you, but it sounds like the decision has been made.

We have indications that while we haven't *heard* much on this album before, at least some of it comes from the 1998 Joe Thomas era. If it's new to me and it's good, then I don't care when it was written. But it brings up an interesting question. Would anyone have a problem if, say, half the album (or more) was written in 1998 and maybe even some of the backing tracks came from that era?

I would have no problem if it was revealed that Brian wrote three-quarters of it under a tree in San Diego in 1978. 

I was just informed that, in fact, The Private Life Of Bill And Sue was originally entitled Under A Tree In San Diego.

Aw man, why didn't he kept that title ! (i'm from SD)

Of all the reviews i've found via google tho, lots of people are sayin' good stuff about it?

Where can i listen to Mike Love solo version of Daybreak ?

I met Dennis Wilson once in the late '60s, when he came out into the audience area to work/play with the soundboard for one of the BB's opening acts. I was in art school then and had a sketchbook with me. I did a quick sketch of DW and showed it to him. He signed it and drew a cartoon of a woman's face to go with the autograph. So I'm now the proud owner of a Dennis Wilson original.

How lucky! could you please post a picture of this?!

something like The Beatles/Pink Floyd boxset would be nice.

"Love Is A Woman"

No, he ain't:

hahahahhaha, nice one

Thanks!
