New album info (as it rolls out...)

[Shady]

To anyone who's heard the album, what are the lyrics "we like to get around, every hot spot in town" from..

I'm curious if that's one of the weaker songs on the album

You still don't know??? I mean, even AFTER you watched the video to the song that was specifically re-pasted for you since you were calling the song "relaxed" and "chilled out" and couldn't understand what people were upset about?

Jesus, chill out..

I missed them say "spring vacation" , it might have been the German dubbing that made me miss it..

And so what, it's grown on me me bit..

Oh no Mr. Mathers, once you form an initial opinion you have to stick with it....no changing your mind....ever.

LMAO. I love that people have nothing better to do on here than bitch at other posters for something as trivial as a song title.

Exactly, luckily it's just a few posters on here who demand perfection..

Apart from them it's a great place

[Chocolate Shake Man]

I don't demand perfection. I'm just surpised is all.

Spring vacation is where the college students go on vacation to party, sort of a "prequel" to summer, so I'd say the title fits perfectly with what The Beach Boys are all about.

He actually passed away in bed in the late-60s and was replaced with a Disney animatronic robot. It's getting on in age though, so during live performance it may sound sort of computer-like.

It really blows my mind that "That's why god Made the Radio" is apparently not even close to being the best song 

Why? That song was clearly over-hyped! One listen and I was disappointed. Glad to hear other songs might be better. My feeling is that there were too many songwriters on that one - and yet it sounds unfinished (lyrically).

i'd be amazed if you can get everything out of a song from one listen.

You can if you're listening to Linkin Park.

Don't tell anybody but once the tour is over there is talk of moving him to a permanent location at Disneyland called Summerland as part of the Country Brian Jamboree.

so when people say "jimmy buffett", do they mean like "margaritaville"?

[EgoHanger1966]

so when people say "jimmy buffett", do they mean like "margaritaville"?

Maybe they mean like "South American"?

[Andrew G. Doe]

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.

Hmm, that's not how I read Andrew's write up.  Seems included Bill and Sue in the 'down"/middle portion of the albumand Spring Vacation was not specifically mentioned.

Read again - I said that the first and last four tracks were at least good. "SV" is track #4. That means it's included in the first four.

Also, two caveats to bear in mind:

1 - it's all my personal opinion. Some folk will surely hate it. Truth.

2 - best since Holland does not in any way whatsoever equate to better than Holland.

[Andrew G. Doe]

Vaguely tropical vibe, steel drums and nylon guitars kinda thing. Lumping all three together might not have been such a fine idea.

Like so? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Gd87JmkAkE

So here's assuming "Daybreak Over The Ocean" will sound pretty much like it did in Mike's last unreleased collection. I actually found it pretty inoffensive, and it's definitely one the best songs he wrote that was still unreleased by the time they started this project. I'm intrigued to hear the "bring back my baby" parts as done by The Beach Boys. So overall, I gotta say, that if Mike had to get a spot for a "solo"-ish song on the album, I'm glad it is this one.

Daybreak over the ocean, seagulls over the sea

Have there been any descriptions of "Pacific Coast Highway"? I find it interesting that it's such a short track.

Where can I find AGD's write up specifically? I saw the link to the board but I wouldn't know where to start to look for it. And do I have to register to see it?

Here's the link I found by Googling. Comments start toward the bottom of this 12th page of the thread, starting at 05-04-2012, 10:32 PM, and go on for the rest of its 15 pages: http://www.stevehoffman.tv/forums/archive/index.php/t-284574-p-12.html

Trying to avoid the spoilers, but I can't help but ask:

AGD, does Brian shoot into falsetto at any point on the record?

I can't quite believe it, but they've really pulled it off. Best Beach Boys album since 1979. You will weep.

Would be better if it were best since 1977... LA Light is fine I guess, so looking forward to it!

Or another way of looking at it according to that guy is of their last 3 or 4 efforts this is the best. Since everything after L.A. was pretty bad to awful what exactly does that mean? Again I could argue not exactly a reason to get excited.
In any case having been cautiously optimistic, to cautiously pessimistic about the record, I'm now somewhere in between. If there are indeed a fair amount of decent songs I guess that is cause for celebration....all things considered.
