It's really REALLY not a typical Beach Boys song.

The first two lines were. Colbert

With a the swift removal of some of the harmonies, maybe played by a group with b*lls, this would be alright.

11: Our Prayer

Talking about which

The album now ends with two songs from the abandoned Smile album.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:46 pm

Last track - Cabinessence.

Van Dyke Parks is strong in this one.

12: Cabinessence

Pure Beach Boys so far.

Remind you of another song?

Doing doing doing.

Harmonicas played at two separate octaves.

No bass harmonica though.

Unfortunately.

by Nightjar Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:49 pm

This is brilliant.

Have we done a Quintessence album? Excited

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:50 pm

It is over.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:51 pm

It is over.

It just sounded like a bog-standard Beach Boys album, to me.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:51 pm

I shall give it 3 stars.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:52 pm

I don't like the Beach Boys. type

I like the Charlie Manson one, they should have done more of his songs.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Fri Sep 02, 2022 7:52 pm

There is no poll.

I blame Mike Love.

Well, as is the case with all of these 'Brian retreats to his sandpit' albums - where the band lost their de facto leader but were left with loads of songs that were supposed to be on SMILE and the burgeoning songwriting talent of Dennis Wilson - AND Mike Love's overweening desires to make the band more like they were in 1963 (when he was the lead singer and all the songs were about surfing or cars) AND Al Jardine just wanting to do cheerful 'downhome' covers and Bruce Johnston just hanging around like a fart in a space-suit...
