The Beach Boys "Surf's Up" (1971)
This is bit of a different sound for these guys. At times, I'd be hard-pushed to guess that it
was the Beach Boys.
By this stage I guess that Brian's mental health
was slipping and the other members were starting to have more of a hand
in the songwriting. Whatever the case, it stands up as an interesting mix of psychedelic
and classic sounds, cynicism and nostalgia, melancholy and hope. It's a
weird, hybrid (but totally listenable) beast.
