Just a bunch of noise. Trying so hard to beat the Beatles here. Only a couple of good tracks.

1, 2, 6, 7, 10, and 11 are great. As much a masterpiece in my opinion as Pet Sounds... had it been executed they way it was released recently.

I find it interesting that the two most "smiley smile" artists I like (Brian Wilson and Rivers Cuomo) both suffered major depression breakdowns.

Anyways, although this was a supposed flop... I think it was brilliant and am very glad that about half a decade later he was able to finish it, and it is a masterpiece.

Heroes And Villains is my favorite Beach Boys song of all time, and Good Vibrations is a masterpiece as well. The rest of the album doesn't hold up so well, but it isn't torturous. Could have been so much more though.

"Good Vibrations" can be overstated! When I listen to this album it's not because of 1 or 2 great songs, no, I actually listen to this album for the odd and inaccessible stuff, such as the creepy "Fall Breaks And Back To Winter" or the paranoid "She's Goin' Bald"!

Aside from “Good Vibrations” and “Heroes,” pretty odd and inaccessible stuff. Still, the brilliance of “Vibrations” can’t be overstated.

Had the potential to be as good as Pet Sounds, but fractures into little pieces. Good Vibrations is at the top of their catelogue.
