Me, too. I hate Southern California and the whole LA scene, but Brian
makes 
me believe in it.

I initially hated this album, but after a few listens, it grew on me. 
Brian's instrumental tracks haven't been so inspired since the original 
Smile, and though his voice is aging, it's the first of his solo albums in

which it hasn't been electronically enhanced.

This is the best Brian Wilson album since Friends. Brian knows how to use 
the Wondermints, and he made them sound exactly like the Beach Boys on 
Smile. On this album, he is using them to complement his own aging voice, 
and they sound like the aging Beach Boys. It's perfect.

I have a few problems with Brian overproducing a few tracks (Oxygen To The

Brain, for one) but would have never known that if I hadn't heard the 
leaked studio demos.

This album has 2 certified classics that will be on any future Brian
Wilson 
fan's list: Midnight's Another Day and Southern California.

I've been a fan of Brian wilson since 1965, and this is his best work
since 
Friends.
