The last Beach Boys album of the 70s, this album was heavily criticised at the time. In retrospect, this is mostly due to one track, Here Comes The Night, an ill- advised attempt to 'go disco'. The rest of the album, while over-produced, is an improvement on MIU album, and contains some of the band's best late-period material in songs like Good Timin' and Baby Blue.
