Title: It depends on what you're looking for
Review: Some of these reviews are as entertaining as this (or any other) title. Is it a cacophony, a disaster or is it a masterpiece...? That has to depend on what you expect from this release. If you expect this to be a faithful reproduction of what a teenager wrote almost fourty years ago you'll be disappointed. Brian Wilson isn't a kid anymore and personally I'm happy that he isn't trying to sound like one on this album. That would be really sad. He does however do a great job of reinventing, refining and reinterpreting his own personal vision of a long time ago and putting together a very entertaining and insightful musical work. I'm really glad Brian Wilson got around to making this CD both for him and all of us.On the other hand if you are one of those fans who can't get by the fact that this album never happened back in the sixties look around for the Purple Chick boot of SMiLE with the original BBs. You won't be disappointed!
