In The Key Of Disney

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

Oh damn!  Best Brian's lead in a long long long while??

"Colors Of The Wind"

I'm impressed.

The Best BW track since "Melt Away" no doubt.

Brian: "Jeff Foskett is the Beach Boys. We're just his messengers."

Hahhahahahahhahahahhahahahaha!

Dada with the home run.

[SMiLE Brian]

Ghost, you need to write Jeffery with a list of grievances..

Ghost, you need to write Jeffery with a list of grievances..

I'm just saying what everyone else is thinking. When you heard the unmistakable Foskett falsetto on You've Got A Designated Driver In Me did you think YES! NEW JEFF FOSKETT VOCALS! or die a little inside?

[ghost]

I'll do a couple paper routes to buy this CD just for Stay Awake I guess, which sounds like a remnant from Brian's heroin days.

[ghost]

STAY AWAKKKKKKE
DON'T CLOSSSSSSSE YOUR EYESSSSS
THOUGH THE WORLD IS FAST ASLEEP
THOUGH YOUR PILLOW SOFT AND DEEP
YOU'RE NOT SLEEPY AS YOU SEEM
STAY AWAKKKKKKKE
DON'T NODDDDDDDD AND DREEEEAM
STAY AWAKKKKKKKE
DON'T NOD AND DREAM


my friend who seems to have acquired the same leak as you devious criminals brought this album over by the way, I never download leaks, although 75% of the reason is because i once did for another band and got a deadly virus on the computer that almost wiped all my stuff out.

To be honest when I heard "Stay Awake" I did think throw a few synths on that bad boy and you got a Love You classic

Well it sounds like that Spring demo with Brian playing and singing, Awake... is that what it's called? Awake my darling...

But the chord changes in the 'don't nod and dream' aroused images in my mind of brian in a very spacey weird heroin high playing an organ hypnotically like how he played heroes and villains with dennis in the cocaine sessions .

[Wirestone]

Never had any particular problem with the Foskett vocals. I've bought some of his solo stuff. Nice guy, good singer, and one of the few who can really nail that BW falsetto range without sounding weird (although Matt Jardine was also excellent).

The ultimate problem is just that that particular part has such an important role in BW's music that whoever sings it definitely shades how it sounds. Like when Steve Whitmire took over for Jim Henson as Kermit. Still sounds strange.

[ghost]

That's the thing though, to me Jeff's voice DOES sound strange. Not in a good way, it tends to add something cringe worthy to the songs.

What I've liked most out of Jeff's entire career is his laugh in Hey Ho Whistle While You Turn Tricks.

[Mr. Cohen]

You know, this works feel more minimalist than recent Brian albums...where are thou, Paul Mertens (or whatever his name is)? It honestly seems like maybe Brian was completely in charge of this one. Some of the arrangements remind me of when Brian tried to do 'big' arrangements for songs like "Blueberry Hill" on 15 Big Ones. Basically, the real, modern Brian, except someone locked all  the moogs in the cupboards.

[Mr. Cohen]

Listen to "You've Got a Friend of Me". That's Brian rocking his heart out! That's how Brian envisioned rock 'n' roll when he was snorting cocaine in the early '80s and listening to that album the Ramones did with Phil Spector. Straight from this heart to you. I mean, this is the guy that produced "Drip Drop (Tear Drops on My Bed)". Embrace it, people. 

That guitar solo is supposed to melt your soul like it's butter. Randy Newman will be dancing for days after he hears it.

And listen to those animal noises Jeff Foskett does at the end of "Bare Necessities". There's a reason Brian thinks this guy is the coolest cat around. He's hip, man. Those monkey sounds came straight through Foskett's kundalini! Can't you see? Brian feels it. He really feels it.

[Amy B.]

I think I might have come too late to the party. Please, can someone help me? Or is it too late?

[joshferrell]

kiss the girl should be released as a single it's the most radio friendly on the cd and sounds like it could be a hit.

What an insult.

Apparently I got the "Amazon Exclusive Version" but... what's so special about it?!!

Yes! If "What Love Can Do" was a hit this can be too, even more so

Extra track

[Runaways]

this'd be fun to hear

[joshferrell]

on "color of the wind"Brian sounds eerily like the way he sounded on "wonderful" (yes from smile) and "surfs up" maybe even a little bit like "IN MY ROOM" he has that young falsetto sound to his voice on these.almost like he's in his 20's kind of strange if you ask me   it's cool though

[hypehat]

Let's just say when Brian settled his two album deal with Disney, he knew which one he really wanted to record. I like Stay Awake and Baby Mine a lot, though.

"Brian Wilson - Colors Of ..."

Sorry about that.

You snooze you loose!!

[Wirestone]

Interesting that the track selection is based on pairs of songs.

2 Elton John songs.
2 Randy Newman songs.
2 Alan Menken songs
2 songs from Disney's 60s films (Stay Awake and Bare Nec.)
2 songs from Snow White (as a single-track medley)
2 more late 30s, early 40s songs (Baby Mine and Star)

[Bud Shaver]

I likes what I hears....

[♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇]

Oh my God his vocals on 'Baby Mine' are absolutely beautiful. 3 songs in and I already feel his vocals on this are by far the best since the early 70s.
