Welcome back to a new round of BEACH BOYS SURVIVOR. Remember to be respectful of others opinions. Please don't spam the thread with too much opinionating (a little is ok
).... and without further ado...
For me this album is fraught with tracks which bear little resemblance to THE BEACH BOYS and far too much much resemblance to Culture Club. My least favorite Beach Boys album.
Quote
The Beach Boys is the self-titled twenty-fifth studio album by American rock band The Beach Boys, released on June 10, 1985. Produced by Steve Levine, the album is the band's first to be recorded after the death of founding member Dennis Wilson. It was also the first of the band's albums to be recorded digitally and released on CD. It's also the last album released by James William Guercio's Caribou Records.
For the album, the band hired Culture Club producer Steve Levine, who took them into the world of drum machines, synthesizers, sampling, and hi-tech recording technology. Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Mike Love, Bruce Johnston and Al Jardine all took an active role in the project, writing several new songs for it, with Stevie Wonder and Culture Club each donating a song. The album was recorded during summer 1984 at Red Bus studio in London, and Westlake Audio in Los Angeles during late 1984/early 1985. It features Motown artist Stevie Wonder on harmonica and keyboards on the song "I Do Love You", which he also wrote. Ringo Starr also appears on the track "California Calling" (Starr also appeared live with The Beach Boys in 1985 during the 4th of July concert in Washington D.C.). Noted guitarist Gary Moore features on all tracks playing both guitar and synthaxe.
Although "Getcha Back" (composed by Love and his new musical partner, former Byrds producer Terry Melcher), was a top 30 hit, the album only reached #52 in the U.S. (making it their highest charting album since the release of 1976's album 15 Big Ones). After the album, CBS Records let the band's contract expire, leaving them without a record deal for the first time in years.
Brian Wilson contributed a song written in 1982 by himself and Dennis Wilson called "Oh Lord", but the song did not make the final cut. Also cut from the album was a cover of "At the Hop" with lead vocals by Mike Love.
Close call but 7 smilers found California Calling lacked.
As usual vote for your
least favorite track
. The track with the most votes gets voted off.
Tally on April 25th
Getcha Back
It's Gettin' Late
Crack at Your Love

And Lead Us Not Into Kokomo,
But Deliver Us From Mike Love.

My vote goes to Maybe I Don't Know and its horrible wanky guitar.
California Calling is one of the few on this album I do like actually. A little.

I'm not sure what was so bad about California Calling. One of the more convincing throwbacks, if nothing more.

I would like to confess my undying love for "I'm So Lonely." You all hurt me.

And RINGO FREAKING STARR on real drums - a desperate man for a desperate time. Totally rad!
I'm so lonely - back in ole '85, while I was delighted to hear this track get annouting on my local AM station, I had to begrudingly agree with the smart ass announcer when he said "That's a new one from The Beach Boys, it sounds like they couldn't care less" (altough he obvioulsy hadn't heard the whole LP)
