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

[Dave in KC]

I just saw Jimmy Buffet in concert two weeks ago. I'm not scared at all.

[Aegir]

I agree with guitarfool that reviews cloud opinions. How many times have you heard someone say "I've never listened to Summer in Paradise. I know it sucks!" ?

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I'm betting this album will be...

1/3rd Imagination
1/3rd Lucky Old Sun
and
1/3rd Pet Sounds

Hang me if you want, but i'd like to see Brian do ONE MORE PET SOUNDS QUALITY SONG!

That would sound like one groovy album!

"What Love Can Do" came close to Pet Sounds quality, IMO.

[FatherOfTheMan Sr101]

I think it's possible, I mean, if TWGMTR is any indication, their voices sound great, and the songs really don't get much worse from what I understand, so who knows

(Spoiler, only god!)

I've got some questions about the forthcoming vinyl release of the That's Why God Made the Radio album.

Does anyone know if this will be pressed on 180 gram vinyl - similar to the Smile Sessions LP?  Also - will it be released as just a single LP or as 2-LP set (with any bonus cuts, etc.)?

FYI - Amazon Canada has the LP listed for only $16.99.   This is the cheapest I've seen the vinyl edition of the album for pre-order.  Here's the direct link to the Amazon listing - http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B007U1FEQW/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB.

[Autotune]

Question for those in the know that have heard the advance copy already: is any information given in that copy/stream/download about songrwiting credits? If so: care to post?

Those folks are idiots. Don't blame the reviewers.

What's interesting about this: Amazon ( USA) has the Vinyl scheduled for July 3rd, but Amazon Canada still has it for June 5th.
Perhaps it's being released on time in Canada?

I think the issue for most people on here won't be whether a few of the songs themselves are good enough, but whether the production/autotune partially ruins them or completely ruins them.

Well, yeah, there are going to be those that don't like it for any number of reasons.  Songwriting, lyrics, digital sheen, too much pitch correction, not enough pitch correction, too '60s, not '60s enough.  What else is new?

 1/4 Imagination
 1/4 That Lucky Old Sun
 1/4 Pet Sounds
 1/4 The Many Moods of Murry Wilson  

  Oops! Maybe not.

 Hello, I'm Moon Dawg and I used to post frequently on Shut Down Vol. 2. Still do on occasion. Beyond stoked for the new LP!

Indeed. "Hi, I'm a Beach Boys fan. Now let me tell you everything wrong with the Beach Boys (and why I'm a better one than any one of them)."

Whoa - blast from the past. Welcome!

 Thanks! It's good to be here during this incredible time. Very nice to see some of the Shut Down Vol 2 posters such as yourself and Mikie active on this board!

A lot of us here from the cabin/shut down/wheeler page.  I miss a lot of folks I used to enjoy messaging with in those places.  A great time for all to come together.

Ah... the old days. When the web still was called the Super Information Highway.

Altavista and AskJeeves were the grampa's and granma's of Google.

And the Commodore 64, and Pong still were living memories...

[Andrew G. Doe]

To cut through the thickening haze of nostalgia... the lyrics can be very reflective, and decidedly, uh, nostalgic. Thus:

"Don't you understand the words are singin' in the wind
I wish that we could get from there to back again"

"Sometimes I realise my days are gettin' on
Sometimes I realise it's time to move along"

Do we know who wrote these?

[Andrew G. Doe]

Not me.

[The Shift]

"Nostalgic" as in "haven't I heard something rather like that before?" ?   

[Andrew G. Doe]

Philistine.

[The Shift]

No, Phil's time's long past – been quiet for a while now…   

[STE]

Not me.

Thanks for the clarification.  Before that I was under the impression that you had provided lyrics for the new album.

A common misapprehension.
