 I completely agree with the above review by The Doors - Topic. This LP was far, far better than the critiques ever gave it credit for. It's time for all you Beach Boys fans to give it a chance. You won't be disappointed.

Unfairly maligned by critics who likely never even gave this album a chance...

This is a pretty good album, and it has way more contributions from Brian than reviews would often have you believe. There is a definite tendency for publications to hate on Mike more than actually look at who is writing the songs. I know it was Mike who talked the group into recording the album where they did, thus giving the album it's name, but that is not too important really. You've got some strong cuts on here. The 70's flavor is definitely interesting, and very strong, but it's not so 70's that it's jarring and the songs don't suffer for it. I'd personally prefer the album start with the absolutely majestic cover of Come Go With Me and can't fathom what they were thinking by having the album start up with She's Got Rhythm instead, but it's not a bad track by any means. Highlights in my opinion include about half the whole album (Come Go With Me, Wontcha Come Out Tonight, Sweet Sunday Kind Of Love, Pitter Patter, My Diane, Match Point Of Our Love). My favorite track, as with a lot of later 70's albums by the boys, has a devastating lead vocal from Dennis, on "My Diane" which is about the sister of Brian's long time wife. I can't believe the man released that song, although he claims he doesn't remember the time frame of recording the album. I don't know if I buy that, but it certainly might explain a few things. Anyway, don't hate on it before you give it a listen. It's much better than it's given credit for.
