Title: The Seven Stages Of Man
Review: The fact that anyone could listen to this collection of outtakes and half-finished ideas and deem it a masterpiece only underscores their own need for labels to be spoonfed to them. This sounds like the last gasp of a fading, deteriorating creative consciousness; a regurgitation of melodies that didn't quite make the cut back in Brian Wilson's formidable creative heyday which he now is reviving in a de-facto admission of the disappearance of his musical imagination.
