SMiLE by Brian Wilson (Rock) (CD, Sep-2004, Nonesuch (USA))

Brian Wilson's "lost" masterpiece finally achieves release

An assembled album of a "lost" Beach Boys project. Entertaining from beginning to end, if you're a fan of the band. Some great music that will take you back to you youth -- or at least away from our current unpleasant times.Read full review

A Unique Listening Experience

My two favorite Beatles albums are Abbey Road and Sgt Peppers.. Both albums are full of stellar moments mixed with some pretty strange pieces that manage to enhance instead of distract. Smile is similar in that way. Although, the stellar parts are even better, and the strange parts are even wackier than the Beatles. Watch the live performance on youtube and read up on the album history for context. You'll get more out of it if you do.Read full review

Speedy delivery. In the condition described. Unfortunately I ruined it instantly by thinking I could take the marker ink off of the barcodes. Complete

Speedy delivery. In the condition described. Unfortunately I ruined it instantly by thinking I could take the marker ink off of the barcodes. Completely my fault. Lesson learned. I used alcohol and made in even worse. My OCD will not allow me to be content with this new self inflicted damage so I am now on the hunt for another copy in similar condition.Read full review

Super Dooper compositions!!

This completion of music compositions immerses the listener to the Genius of Brian Wilson's compositions. I have been a Beach Boys fan since before I had heard of the Beatles (born and raised Californian) and my favorite Beatle's LP has been Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, till now. I believe SMILE surpasses the Pepper LP especially since it was recorded before Sgt. Pepper. This is a must have recording! Read full review

" Not what I expected "

many of the songs were not to my liking. I watched the movie "love & Mercy" The songs @ the end
were what I expected & I was quite disappointed. Hopefully there is a CD with those kinds of songs>on it which I enjoy a lot more.Read full review

Smile

One of the best albums ever recorded. Only thing that could be better is if this original version would have come out in 1967 like Brian had planned. It breaks my heart.

Brian Wilson at his most creative, barnyard animal song hilarious.

different from most beach boy albums. i really enjoy it.
