Negative Positive
Title: Pointless
Review: In the 70's, I fished a copy of the "Smiley Smile" LP out of the cutout bin. Naturally, I enjoyed the pop side of it and endured the noodling. Now, fresh off Brian's triumphant "That Lucky Old Sun" (Sept 2008), I decided to get his re-recording of the never-quite-released "Smile." Well, it is a big letdown. There can be no possible reason to re-do 'Heroes and Villians' or 'Good Vibrations.' The rest of it is pleasant and expertly played, but the songwriting is weak. I love Brian Wilson, but I don't need this pointless exercise.
Is the review positive or negative?
