The Beach Boys have always had a fire sound with all the vocal harmonies and with a subject matter that’s more than just “let’s surf and have a fun summer” this album hits incredibly harder than some of their others. It’s their most somber album by a long shot, and they do a great job of switching it up while keeping enough of their trademark sound. This thing is filled with great tracks. Only skip on here for me is “student demonstration time” which was a diversion from their sound as well as tried too hard to be socially conscious; obviously they were going for that for most that album but I think this one just got overly specific and fell flat. Take a load off your feet is kinda dumb and light hearted for this album but I don’t mind the song on its own. Other than that everything plays for me. Some great songs on here to sit and think or just melt into your couch. Gonna give this a 4 but could see myself regretting not giving a 5. Best: Feel flows, til I die, surfs up, Disney girls, don’t go near the water MMM: FEEL FLOWWWS 🚶🏽‍♂️FEEL GOOOOOES🧎🏽‍♂️
