Guys, I gotta say...I was never a huge Beach Boys fan, and Mike Love's current pukefest makes me ill. I have however always respected Brian Wilson.
Well, yesterday I bought "Smile" and I've been- well- smiling with every listen. The sound quality is very good, Van Dyke Parks' lyrics paint a vivid image, and Brian Wilson's music adds a deep, complex soundscape. Tracks 6-10 are incredible. Beautiful.
If you listen closely, you'll hear many things going on all at once- ala Pet Sounds.
If Mr. Wilson's legacy wasn't secure before, I believe it is now. If I were you, I'd buy Smile.
