| Very clunky production. Nothing like Dennis would've let happen on a solo album.

| If the rest of the band (Mike Love basically) hadn't been so desperate to pad the album out that is.

| This is a genuinely gr8 song.
Realised in an infinitely better version on the unreleased Dennis solo album "Bambu".

| This is a voice destroyed by cocaine. Or is it improved?
