Amazing. I don't love the album, although it has its moments, but good for them.
How weird is it that their only #1 albums are the oddball choices "Concert" and this. Sort of like how their 1 competitive Grammy is Brian's version of "Fire". Just weird, bizarre stuff that gets the accolades sometimes.
And speaking of BBs and weird... look at this article about the same #1 album topic:
https://etcanada.com/news/340903/the-beach-boys-top-the-classical-albums-chart-for-the-first-time-ever/In an article by a major publication regarding the BBs having a #1 album on the prestigious Classical charts, they use possibly the worst band photo in the group's history, from arguably the most embarrassing project in the group's history (Summer of Love on Baywatch).
The ever omnipresent lard vs. high art dichotomy at its most extreme, methinks. What a friggin' weird, weird, weird band we all love.
