Pretty much major raves in the L.A. Times and in Time magazine as well. It’s a great record. The whole thing is streaming for a limited time on AOL’s music site, “Spinner.” Definitely worth a listen.
The song “That’s Why God Made Radio” is excellent, and took me right back to the 60s.
Thanks for the heads up. I’m listening to it now:

Love the Beach Boys and so glad they reunited.
I was lucky enough to sit at the next table to Brian Wilson at a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley around 2006. He was perfectly normal, entertaining his young kids with stories about Walter Mitty and then trying to take over at the piano bar. Sadly, the pianist did not recognize Brian and completely ignored him. Brian simply shrugged and returned to his seat.
