Title: Stunning, beautiful, enthralling, wonderful
Review: Someone once called Brian Wilson the "Mozart of Pop Music." I've always felt that "Pet Sounds" alone was enough evidence of this, but now he's completed "Smile." I thought I had to be dreaming when I read that he and his band had completed his long-ago abandoned Teenage Symphony to God. There are many little moments on this disc that will have your jaw dropping open while you think "this is the most beautiful damn thing I've ever heard." The swooping harmonies at the end of "Surf's Up" provide the best example, in my opinion. I would have loved to have heard the Beach Boys doing it, but Brian's band the Wondermints sound almost as heavenly.
Is the review positive or negative?
