... and still even no date for the single CD.    I'm on the verge of cancelling my pre-order since I already have the song and I still don't know if the CD bonus track(s) would be worth it. I mean, they could at least upload the cover art and set an imaginary date. 

Maybe I'll find the German release date somewhere on the internetz....

i still don't get why it's 18 dollars.  that's like barnes and noble priced!!  i gotta order my vinyl soon, the cd will be bought in store for sure.

You must be new.  This happens 100% of the time a CD is added to Amazon.com.
The price will come down.  Even at $17, it's still ranked #54 on Amazon.  Good job, guys.

And I really like the album cover.  Very tasteful.

I bought the single on ITunes, and the CD an Amazon.  I'll buy everything they put out because it's the Freakin' Beach Boys, man!

Thanks!

Can't wait to listen to this album!  Been waiting too long!!

[Zach95]

Some of those titles sound fantastic.

[Runaways]

so are those last three songs the suite or WHAT

[Lowbacca]

I'm psyched for "Strange World", and I'm not even expecting an Iron Maiden cover.  No really, if this doesn't scream "Brian Wilson", what does?

"From There and Back Again" - The Hobbit reference?

lol i was trying to think from where i knew that title.

[Runaways]

now i wonder if the "my life suite" made the cut.  I'm gonna be bummed if not

[STE]

I still think  there were better titles for the album name that TWGMTR

[Fro]

I'm guessing "From There To Back Again" and "Pacific Coast Highway" are part of it.  Good idea to rename it because "My Life Suite" isn't a good title.

well this how i assumed it was gonna be originally, but then that press release said "my life suite" and i thought that's what the album would say.  but i guess those two weren't mentioned, so it's cool.  I think Summer's Gone will be included, 2 songs isn't much of a suite

Works as an overall statement about classic rock/popularmusic that was played on the radion in the golden days of the medium, a tradition where the BBs music originated and a heritage which the new album tracks (spearheaded by the title track) carry on. It fits.

[rab2591]

I think the title is catchy and not cliche:

The Beach Boys: That's why God made the radio

[doc smiley]

"From There To Back Again"

maybe this is just Life Suite under a different title?

[Lowbacca]

Yeah, maybe the three parts of the suite appear as one track in the tracklisting. That's not unusual.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

If its not... I'm gonna destroy Capitol.

[LostArt]

I know things may have changed, but both Brian and Mike have said that the suite is going to close the album.  I'm thinking that the last two or three song titles on the tracklist will be the suite.  Won't be long now until we find out.

[coco1997]

Two songs isn't much of a suite. Hopefully tracks 9-11 or 10-12 comprise the suite, or "From There To Back Again" is the suite.

The plot thickens...  

[Generation42]

Counting myself as both one of the world's biggest Beatles fans and a shameless Brianista_TM , the thought of the band's final (?) lp culminating in a Brian Wilson-penned suite sounded like sheer brilliance, and serves as absolutley my most looked-forward-to aspect of the album.  Even though "My Life Suite" always did sound like a working title, I've grown so accustomed to seeing the phrase in print and spun fancifully around in my mind over these past few weeks that it has somehow endeared itself to me, and I couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy at it not appearing on Amazon's tracklisting.

I'm with the rest of you supposing that we're just witnessing a title change, but make no mistake, there is a group of untold millions who will rise up in righteous indignation and march on the tower, pitchforks and torches in tow, should our beloved little suite not feature on the album (so don't say we didn't warn you).

Hey, by the way, just who was it that decided it was a good idea to yield the artistic decision of which numbers would make the cut to the label anyway?  After all, economics aside, it should be an artistic decision, yes?
