Personal favourites include "Forever She'll Be My Surfer Girl" and "Good Kind of Love" on which blonde vocalist Taylor Mills particularly shines (in 2007 Taylor released a fine solo album of her own, titled "Lullagoodbye"). "That Lucky Old Sun" is a worthy successor to both "Pet Sounds" and "Smile", and contains the familiar layered harmonies and glorious melodies of Brian's previous greatest works, plus some as the same quirkiness as "Smile". But that lucky old sun got nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day.
The unimaginable has happened, and Brian Wilson has created a new masterpiece, with his latest album (a heartfelt tribute to the mythic Los Angeles of his youth). An album with a Los Angeles theme.

I'll keep it short and sweet - forget Smile (which is pretty cool) because this is your genuine bonafide genius at work epic that frankly knock spots of what Brian has done solo before.
