Hm

Pet Sounds tour was awesome - sounds similar and yeah, I'd go again for an
astronomical amount. But I've listened to the album a billion times now too,
and I don't find a damn thing wrong with Brian's vocals. I mean, the guy
wrote it all (with Van Dyke) and no, he didn't play on all of it, or sing on
all of it, but he wouldn't have anyway, even back in the heyday of the Beach
Boys. I'm pretty freakin picky and I'm not finding anything wrong with it at
all. I think it is exactly the thing that needed to come out.. I only wanna
know one thing...

what does Beach Boys and Friends and Family think of it? Hahha whew I bet
they're stewing and embarassed ;)
