Could have posted this in a variety of threads. Yes I should have known better. Couldn't help myself. I love them both, so it couldn't be bad, right? Ok, fine, it wasn't terrible. Would just take some plays probably to move 'em up a notch. Too bad it will never get those plays. I guess Brian got on a nostalgia kick. Really nice production and Brian sounds as fine as always. Beautiful Beach Boy harmonys. I guess I just have trouble mixing these genres, especially when it involves superb musicians in their own right. Don't think Brians voice fits at all with some of these classics. I did like 2 songs, just too many yucks. The real judge of this album would be someone who is not familiar with the songs.

Average Rating - 1.3
ok, i just listened to 9 of the tracks from this album, i know most of the songs, not all of them.
i like:
i got rhythm
they cant take that away from me
the like in i love you.
Ed doesnt like 'plenty of nothin', i dont know the original/previous versions, but it sounded pretty good to me
the other 5 tracks i listened to werent worth my time
i think the main problem with the album is brian wilsons vocals, they just dont suit the emotion in the songs themselves, which makes me wondeer now that i probably like 'plenty of nothin' best of all the tracks because his boring vocals arent on it???
working on Eds rating system i give it a rating of 1.7
