THE BEACH BOYS
THE BEACH BOYS
produced by Steve Levine
Band line-up
Mike Love
Brian Wilson
Carl Wilson
Al Jardine
Bruce Johnston
The last (so far) Beach Boys album to consist of all-new material, and sadly now the last ever to feature any new Carl Wilson songs, this album has been described by some as their best since Sunflower but in truth it is slightly marred by the 80s production style, and the Stevie Wonder and Culture Club songs aren't really suited to the band's style. Having said that, the vocals are excellent throughout, and there are some great songs (particularly Getcha Back,She Believes In Love Again and Where I Belong).
