  • Brian Wilson: The forever young Beach Boy offers a stunning live set

    Sep 18 '01
    Pros: Brian Wilson performs his Beach Boys' classics and songs from his solo career.
    Cons: None.

    Summary: The Beach Boys scored more than four dozen Hot 100 singles since forming in 1961. Led by primary songwriter and producer Brian Wilson, the band created melodic rock and sweet harmonies that most bands can only dream of.

    Brian Wilson, a...

  • An Afternoon in the Parking Lot with Brian Wilson and a Cup of Soup

    Oct 25 '04
    Pros: The second disc
    Cons: The first disc

    Summary: Last weekend, I had the house to myself, and as I am wont to do under such conditions, I spent most of that time in a state of indecision-induced paralysis. By the time James hops on his plane, my mind is reeling with the possibilities of all the ...

  • The Best of the Beach Boys, sung by Carl Spackler, Assistant Greenskeeper!

    Apr 25 '02
    Pros: the lyrics, the overall sound and the memories
    Cons: the stark contrast to how he use to sound

    Summary: The first time I heard this CD I could only think about one thing, that at some point on the CD I would hear the phrase, "It's a Cinderella" story come out of Brian Wilson's mouth.

    I hate to admit that track after track I was laughing so...

  • GENIUS

    Mar 07 '02
    Pros: The sound of genius at work.
    Cons: If you hate joyous music you won't like this album.

    Summary: (i) This is the most 'live' sounding album I've ever heard. The banter and atmosphere are incredible - you really feel like you're there as you listen to it. I've never heard an artist talk so much between songs!

    (ii) Despite Brian's voice...

  • God Only Knows how Brian does this

    Jul 04 '01
    Pros: Strong vocals, outstanding song variation, excellent instrumentation, live songs you won’t hear elsewhere.
    Cons: Brian’s voice falters a few times, “Pet Sounds” isn’t performed in its entirety here.

    Summary: “There he is!” an audience member jubilantly shouts amid whoops and cheers as Brian Wilson takes the stage.

    Then a tape rolls of a 22- or 23-year-old Brian instructing session musicians way back in the early 1960s on how to play “The...

  • The emperor has no clothes!

    Jun 23 '01
    Pros: The Wondermints musicianship is pretty good
    Cons: Brian's poor vocals, musicianship, and overall embarrasing presence.

    Summary: First of all, Brian is basically a guest singer on his own material...and he does not sing very well on this set at all- not on one song! All of his vocals are flat, weak, nasal, and out of tune (particularly on "This Whole World" and "Caroline No")....
