Then I'll start:
Brian Wilson's last two solo records were largely an unlistenable mess.
The reworking of "Smile" was wonderful. Ditto for his returning to live
performing.
But so far, he hasn't proven that he has anything new to say.
And this from a guy who lists Pet Sounds as one of his top two or three
favorite records ever.
