In The Key Of Disney

[Shady]

How the hell did they get the lyrics wrong 

[18thofMay]

Have we all listened to this with a good set of phones? This is great..Colours of the wind is awesome..

I don't know if this has been posted already, but 'Can You Feel the Love Tonight' is streaming here.

I didn't expect anything from this song. I never liked the original and I expected this to be a load of cheese, but this version gave me some serious goosebumps. Very pretty arrangement. Not one of Brian's best vocals, but it doesn't matter, it works and he sounds convincing.

[Wrightfan]

After listening to some samples, decided to cancel my Amazon CD order. I figure I'll just listen on Spotify.

The samples I've heard aren't getting me that excited. It's also really looking like a bad choice to release it the week before SMiLE 

[rab2591]

What!? Come on, it's Brian Wilson! And from what I've heard from it it'll be worth the money, imo.

Personally, I think these songs will sound great when there isn't a backdrop of Billboard.com or a shoddy computer animation to ruin the vibe.

[Steve Mayo]

the leaked version , for the past 2 weeks or so, sounds great.

[hypehat]

I'll buy it when my wallet recovers from TSS.... Which may not sound very sporting, but I've heard the leak and there are only a couple of songs I dig. I will buy it, just not on vinyl like with BWRG.

True.

Jeez, now I'm not sure whether to add it back in the cart lol.

I agree.  Support Brian.  He's working hard to put himself out there and I really appreciate it.

So call Disney and give them a hard time.

Given that all the SMiLE promo seems to be coming from Brian's camp, I'm assuming that for once they know what they're doing in releasing Disney at that time.  I'm certainly not objecting.  It's like having several cakes and eating them.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

Am I alone in not being that interested or impressed by BWRG or this album?

It all sounds nice, but the arrangements to me sound "Brian By Numbers"

His voice does sounds fantastic, but I want to hear an album of BW originals, actually arranged and produced by him. Give my GIOMH over Imagination any day

I feel bad writing this, and I'm pleased he's recording something that he's obviously into, and enjoys, but the selfishness of a fan kicks in. His voice here raises my expectations, but I want the originality of "Love You". I want a Brian Wilson album, not what his managers think he should be doing. I want quirky songs about his shoes, or eating steaks!

I want my Brian Wilson.

Poor guy.

[runnersdialzero]

Naw, I feel similarly. I mean these're cool albums, he does sound good on them (he sounded a lot better on the Gershwin album, though), but hrm. I guess it's just the sad realization that he's not getting younger and I'd rather hear more originals than covers albums from him with the time he has left, provided he's into the idea. I'm glad these were banged out so quickly, though, as I was afraid they'd take much longer.

So yerp, hopefully it's originals after this. Again, above all, I'd rather he did what he wanted. I know the Disney album was required of him contractually, but he wanted to do the Gershwin album. He sounds a lot more engaged and involved on the latter, truthfully. But his talk of a rock album etc. (however long he's been talking about it) leads me to believe he's still interested in writing and recording. TLOS was certainly a success on a number of levels, too.

I'm not opposed to BW doing covers in general. "I'm Into Something Good" sounded like he was really into it. It had that quirky qiuality of some of the better cover songs on 15 Big Ones and that's absolutely fine with me. Doing covers has been a big part of his regular output ever since the American Spring album I think.

The Disney stuff, however, really doesn't seem to work for me. To my ears there's nothing particularly special about "Can You Feel the Love Tonight".

Definitely not opposed to covers, but the last two albums have been nothing but (sans the two co-writes on the Gershwin album). That's the only thing I was worried about, really.

Oh yes, too many of them and not much songwriting of his own. The rock'n'roll album could probably provide a nice balance of both; enough cover songs to make the guy feel comfortable and enough new material to really satisfy the fans.

Since "Surfin' USA", if you ask me...

Yes, but I feel Disney can make people disappear if you know what I mean

This is true - you seen Walt recently ?  'Xactly.

Maybe his (true) family too -  there's a small Spanish fishing village where locals claim Walt was born to a fish wife, fathered by that fish wife's "friend".  Implication is the story was stamped on by the Corp.

Watch what you say guys!

There has to be some reason Mickey wears white gloves...

[Aegir]

because otherwise you'd have to see his hands, and even though we're comfortable with anthropomorphic animals, mice with hands are just a little too creepy for most people.

Trust me, you don't want to know the reason unless you have a very strong stomach...
