Interview with Joe Thomas.
All recycled.
Of course. Would you expect anything else?
That is utter nonsense. Did either of you even read the article?
Here, let me refresh your memory. Sail Away is an entirely new song. Thomas says a couple of others come from the late 90s.
Quote
This new material is not a reprise to [TWGMTR] at all; it’s taking it further. We played this song for Capitol Records and they were very pleasantly surprised. “Sail Away” is a brand new song, but there a couple of tracks from songs that we wrote back in the late 1990’s.
The problem isn't that you didn't read the article, which is fine I suppose -- it's odd to link to something you didn't look at, but whatever -- it's that you perpetuate untruths.
So the Joe Thomas quotes aren't the same ones that appeared in ESQ?
Cos here's what the author of both pieces says in the Examiner piece:
Quote
Thomas spoke with me about the song “Sail Away” in the Spring 2014 edition of Endless Summer Quarterly (published in March). Here is an excerpt from that conversation.
Recycled
Not having read the ESQ article and without any reference to it, I also thought the comments were about the album content.

Thank you. It was an easy assumption to make, given some of the previous messages in this thread.
But it was an assumption, nonetheless, which seems to be incorrect. My apologies to those involved.

I actually like Joe Thomas, seems like a great guy. Glad to see he thinks Brian's on another level right now, we'll see when the album comes out!
well its not as if Joe is gonna come out and say, 'well what were workin on now is crap and its not like the early Brian, but what we have is salvageable'....
like yourself, I hope the stars align for this album, and it's earth shattering........
but I am on the fence until it comes out........... Brian always seems to come back with a few extra punches from time to time..

I agree. I think Brian's been releasing some fine work, pretty consistently, for a decade, now. I'd be surprised if the new material is anything but quality BW material, the likes of which we've grown accustomed to over that span.
The one thing which still piques my interest more than anything else is whether or not the new album will feature any more of the 'Life Suite' material. Though I'd definitely prefer all of the Beach Boys continue to lend their voices to those pieces, I'm still very, very interested in seeing that work completed, even if it has to be without contributions from Mike or Bruce.

By comparing the new material to Wild Honey and Carl and the Passions, hasn't he essentially said just that?

Wild Honey? Carl and the Passions? Crap? Whoa.
Beyond the obvious (that those albums are far from crap), I think Joe's point was that this album has a harder edge than say, the final tracks of TWGMTR.

Pretty much, yeah. At least to my ears. Wild Honey is ok, but to be honest it's tough for me to listen to anything that comes after it.

I hope you're right. I hope he doesn't mean what I fear he means by that comparison, which is that earlier BB sound (which Brian's latest albums have embraced, IMO) will be largely abandoned, that harmony goes to the back burner, that the "voices as instruments" concept won't apply.

I have a pretty hard time believing Brian is going to let "harmony go to the back burner." That's what he lives for!!!

Well I suppose they shouldn't count as albums of original material, but as a performer they certainly do count. The Gershwin and Disney albums feature some of Brian's best vocals since the early 70's and the production has been top notch.

What an absurd thing to say. First off, the Christmas album and Gershwin album include original songs. And Brian wrote and produced an entire album of original material in 2012, too, for his group. You know, the Beach Boys.
In terms of vocals, arrangements and overall listenability, Brian is indeed on a run that rivals his 60s output. Not in terms of sheer inspiration, of course, but in terms of sustained craft and musicality.
