Does anybody else think that "From There to Back Again" would have made a better album title than the overly long "That's Why God Made the Radio?"
Interesting point. Yeah, it would have. |

Might sound a bit too similar to "Songs from Here & Back" but I agree. |

I don't. From There To Back Again reminds me of The Hobbit. TWGMTW is unique and catchy. |

It would be an especially fitting title considering it's the Beach Boys 50th.

i'm not a fan of titles that draw attention to stuff like this. I'd prefer it to be another album in the beach boys discography than the 50th anniversary one. I actually preferred "Summer's Gone", since it sounds like that sentiment fits the album tone.

Is the answer a mineral?
The answer is an emotion: mellow. There is an emotion called "mellow"  OK, I looked it up in the dictionary. There are several translations. Please define "mellow".  |

AGD says it's the best Beach Boys album since Holland. It doesn't seem fair that I will have to wait one month to be able to give it a listen.

There will probably be 30 second previews soon on Amazon to whet our whistles... |

It should be noted that Andrew considers Love You to be a Brian album. So that factors into his verdict.

OK, after reading AGD's comments on the RR board (in the ML interview thread), along with the scant other reviews to date, I am now officially REALLY READY to hear this album. Somebady just wake me up on June 5. No , wait, that won't work. I have to go to the Hollywood Bowl on June 2...

Interesting that Andrew said he hopes this is their last album, but apparently Brian is planning the follow-up (a "rock 'n roll" record). More Beach Boys is always a good thing, but I'm not sure I'd want them to mess it up if the potential next album is less than stellar.

Just think- according to what was written, Spring Vacation is one of the GOOD tracks. It says things don't go downhill until you get Private Life. And I really don't like Buffet at all.

It's really a great board to discuss and discover other bands and styles ... and not just as "if you like Brian Wilson you'll like this." Obviously I love the Beach Boys as much as any band (more or less), but there is a lot of great music in this world. And someone at TRR knows about it, wants to talk with you about it, and if you've never heard it, to help give you an introduction. |

Beaches in MInd - I like this one. Three chord dumb rock. It kinda sounds like "Let My Love Open the Door" reverse engineered to pay back the debt of "Hungry Heart" not being given to Joey Ramone. Vocals sound good. some kinda jews harp twangy thing getting on my nerves a tiny bit. LOVE THAT SONG. EMPTY GLASS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS! |

That is definitely encouraging, though I'd also be curious how it ranks with Brian's recent stuff (TLOS, Gershwin, etc.). Less than a month to go... |
