That's so old.

Except that LA was a fantastic album.  KTSA was a decent album.

LA/TWGMTR

Why did he dedicate the album to his 5 D-named kids, but not Carnie and Wendy?

Because the evil stepmother is pulling all the strings.

Funny...that's the only song I DON'T much like on the record.

I simply looked up "Brian Wilson and Friends" on my DirecTV iPhone app and up it came...several upcoming showings on both LA-area PBS stations.  I chose one, hit "record" and voila!  I'll be watching it tonight.

I noticed Kacey Musgraves was listed in the end credits as a guest artist even though she wasn't in the TV special so we'll probably see studio footage of "Guess You Had to Be There" on the DVD.

Not sure about that.  Her NPP tune is unavailable on Spotify as well.  I think there may have been some sort of falling out.

First listen...nothing rises much above the level of "nice", and the whole thing seems to be overshadowed by the collaborators, i.e. not enough Brian in the mix.
I'm glad he's still alive and well and making music, but "That Lucky Old Sun" was probably his last great album.

TLOS was not a great album.  This is finally an accessible, great BW album.  Makes sense because most of it was written for the BB.  Brian always writes much more dynamic, accessible stuff when he has The Boys in mind...if only for their voices.

Target donates huge sums of $ to exclusively right-wing political campaigns

I wish..  but they give to anti-american liberals too.

Are all liberals anti-American?

Are all anti-liberals American?

on the very first scene of the very first episode, heck maybe even sing the theme song..

This.

Target just delivered mine.

Yeah, thank goodness for those 3 star German reviews that helped it all go down smooth.

I think the phrase is...Don`t shoot the messenger!

Unless of course the messenger is cherry picking.  Fire away!!!

This.  Except I was 10.

Whats the drift here?  The OP hates Brian Wilson and collected the most dopey reviews that could be found?  Congrats for hanging around a BW board with that many posts for no good reason apparently.

Mikie is awesome.  That is all.

I've been listening all evening and, as I thought, this is the best Beach Boys (nevermind easily the best BW album of all time) record since Love You.  The only track I would even rate as slightly less than stellar is "One Kind of Love".  This is a masterpiece and finally the renaissance we've (or I have) waited for from Brian.  Other than maybe one third of Brian Wilson and possibly half of Imagination, everything else he has done solo is robotic, forced crap compared to this brilliance.

Singing snatches???  I'm in!!

Those answers do NOT sound AT ALL like Brian Wilson.  Not on his best day.  Not in the 60's.  Not in the 70's.  Not under Landy.  Not at all.

Yeah now that the tracking info is up it says delivery date of 04/08.  That sucks.  I need to find the download to get me thru until then but I can't find it anywhere.

"Overall, this is no doubt my favorite Brian Wilson solo album. And probably my favorite Brian Wilson-related album since Friends. Hell, this is a Beach Boys album; it sounds more like The Beach Boys than TWGMTR did"

Yup...I've been saying this for weeks.  I thought I was wrong once...I was mistaken.

I can.

I think this is going well. The internet is great.

Another fine contribution.

Think about this- there isnt a single other group in the past half century with two dozen albums, half of em being quintessential classics, two dozen hit singles thatre known worldwide...even the beatles only had less than a dozen albums and songs that are all in just a six yr period.

I'm not the world's biggest Rolling Stones fan, but I think they would also count for that.

I am and they do.  There is no band that has turned out more consistently high quality releases over now 6 decades.  Who knew they would actually turn out to be The World's Greatest Rock and Roll Band, bar none.

I can't stand Ocean or DelRay.

Most of the reviews on All Music are direct reproductions of reviews by the hacks at Rolling Stone, which we all know is a complete crock.  That particular reviewer has been at it at Rolling Stone and consequently on All Music for years.  He sucks moose balls.

It has a UPS tracking number but no info yet.  The email clearly said it shipped today.  Prob tracking info in UPS online system by tonight.
