Could be two different Brians, years apart, to my eyes…

[Freddie French-Pounce]

Maybe he's comparing it to them in that the album is going to be very damn short.

When will people realise Carl and The Passions is one of the longer Bach Boys albums?

It's the lighting and make-up/hair that does the effect. But still, in both pics, he's looking great. Considering all that he has went through over the years. And yeah, it's annoying when people think that Carl and the Passions is a short album. It's definetely not short, at least in BB terms.

[The Shift]

Fascinating list Freddie, my fave BBs albums all timed within two or three minutes of each other. Whole fresh debate about the definitive ideal length of an album opens up there…!

While of course they're all  Genius/Classic(al)  albums, let's not forget they are the BEACH BOYS
   
By the way, you forgot:  BBs Concert, New Album, Brian Loves You, California Feeling, Landlocked, Adult Child..... BBs In Concert

[The Heartical Don]

Wow morale is slipping on this thread. 

I am sure our patience will be rewarded.

Brian will make good, in his time. 

This could be an almost verbatim quote from the Old Testament. Moses comforting his people.

I wasn't going for a comprehensive list, and was only aiming for officially released studio albums

Sure, but you did so GOOD, you might as well do them all...

Brian at the helm yesterday at Ocean Way Recording in L.A. Who's looking forward to the upcoming album?

Brian looks fantastic in that pic, it's made my day.

I think that anytime they're posting a new picture of Brian, they should have him holding a copy of that day's newspaper, so we'll know for certain they're not simply using old stock photos

… or a picture of that day's steak…

He's got that "young Brian" look about him.

[rab2591]

He's got that "young Brian" look about him.

Makes me think he's genuinely happy about this album. Or he was promised cake before the photo was taken

Either way he does look damn good.

We need a scientist to figure this sh*t out.  Follow Brian around, and pay attention.  See if the days that he looks 20 years younger, coincide with the days when he sings the sh*t out of his vocals... then see if the days when he looks like death warmed over are the days when he has off days and the vocals suck.  It's fascinating to see that not only does he sound great some days and bad others, he looks great some days and bad others.

[KittyKat]

That recent photo is either Photoshopped or carefully lit to conceal Brian's double chin/turkey neck. Or he got plastic surgery.

[Well that was a waste of time]

Well, I don't think so. You probably found the only ranking where SIP is in the top spot!

I didn't know the Beach Boys played on their own records…

It's short when you skip the songs you don't like.

HOLY MOLY!

[Niko]

He looks very tired, like the photo was taken after a full day of work. I hope that's the case, because Brian looked the same in the last photo the posted.
