Little Bird and Be Still and the last song were great... the rest pretty average Beach Boys. Which I guess means quality harmonies, etc.

Great, overlooked album. Really, really chill and peaceful. Standout tracks: Meant For You, Busy Doin' Nothin', Diamond Head

A simply beautiful and beautifully simple record, probably the best place to migrate to for those who love Pet Sounds. And Dennis found his voice - Little Bird is lovely!
