I was surprised by the track just posted on FB, better than I was hoping for. I can't wait to hear Brian do "You've Got A Friend In Me" (providing the track list is legit), even before we heard about this Disney album, that has always been one I wished Brian would cover, I have high hopes.

I like it very much. It has that Disney comic feeling with Brian's best childish side.

To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

Holy smoke! Two new BW tracks in a single day.
This one is definitely cool, if a little dotty. Would be interested to know BW's contributions vs. the band's -- we know how involved he was with Gershwin. I wonder if that was continued with this project, or if he unloaded more of the production.

I like it. This easily stands the old "Would I listen to this if it wasn't Brian Wilson?" test. While most of 'BWRG' didn't.

Quirky and unexpected - know what folk are saying about Smile-quirky - lacks that darker vibe but understandably so. Lovin' it, far more than the BH cover!!

If his vocals are anything like they were on TLOS or (especially) BWRG, then we're in for a treat.
Yap. Guys, it's gonna be great.
I really don't get what you guys are hearing. I think one of the big problems with BW recordings these days (and back in 2004 for that matter) is in fact his vocal performance. He sounds kind of slurred, and not to mention heavily tuned at times. And this is the primary reason on why I rather would not see the Disney album be released (which it of course will be). Trying to make a new version of for instance 'When you wish upon a star' is in my opinion pointless. The original is so good both musically and vocally that I think a BW version per today would not go well with me. Brian anno 1966 on the other hand, I can only imagine being close to perfect.
There's a lot of music and artists I don't like but (Smiths/Morrissey excepted) I don't tell other fans their albums shouldn't be released: I just don't listen to them.
Perhaps it was put a little bit wrong. But what got me into the BB all those years ago was Brian and his brothers' voices. And in my opinion, releases like this (and I hope I'm wrong) won't add to the legacy of Brian Wilson. And this primarily because of his voice, which I find to be very hard to listen to in his old days. Like I said, this is my opinion, and it might just be me.

I never understood people that think like you. If it's not your cup of tea, just don't buy the album. Don't say you don't want it released, because that screws the rest of us over! Why does the world have to conform to what you want it to be? Let Brian release music if he wants, if you don't like it, don't listen to it. "I rather would not see the Disney album be released" to hell with you.
Take a chill-pill, buddy. I was just voicing my opinion.

Perhaps not, I guess it depends on how much it would weaken his or her's legacy. If a famous and legendary actor got brain damaged, should he do more movies, even if it meant ridicule? I'm not saying this is the case with Brian, but I'm just saying that someone as brilliant as Brian Wilson should ideally pretty much deliver a perfect product. And how I perceive Brian's voice to be these days, I am scared that 'In the Key of Disney' will be far away from perfect. Sorry, if I'm being pessimistic here, but that's just how I feel.

Love it! It has a Vega-tables intro feel to it!
PS If you have youtube downloader and set the quality to best available, you can have a great quality copy of the track to listen whenever you like.... not that anyone would

I think that releases like this one are a major addition to his legacy. A rock legend that releases six (mostly very enjoyable) new studio albums in seven years time after decades of not being very productive, I'd call that an epic comeback. Sure, this album won't be "first purchase" material, but nobody expects a musician to release his most essential material when he's in his late sixties. Nobody expects that from McCartney, the Stones or Dylan, and nobody expects that from Brian Wilson. Everything new we're getting now is basically bonus material.

Tansen, you're actually not answering the question I posed. Or that you yourself asked:
"If a famous and legendary actor got brain damaged, should he do more movies, even if it meant ridicule?"
What do you think?
"And how I perceive Brian's voice to be these days, I am scared that 'In the Key of Disney' will be far away from perfect."
Does that mean it shouldn't be released?

The first question; most certainly not. No, I don't think an actor should do more movies in that case.
Question two is more ambivalent, I guess I came out a little too strong when I said it shouldn't be released - but like I've mentioned previously, I'd much more like to see Brian do more songwriting and producing than performing.

Well, you know the difference is that Dylan still got pretty much the same voice he've had for ages, Stones are the Stones, and Paul McCartney still has a great voice in my opinion. I'm not expecting brilliance in terms of songwriting from any of the acts, but the vocal quality is very important to me.
