The Beach Boys made this!?!

wtf is this album cover

>>127404356
It's some random painting anonimously painted and then they just took it for them. Simple as.

>>127404356
The funniest possible cover to be used for an album called 'Surf's Up' by 'The Beach Boys'

>>127404324 (OP)
it's unironically better than Pet Sounds

>>127404403
It is, until you realize the 'Up' in Surf's Up is like the 'up' in 'the jig is up', i.e. it's over. As in: no more beach-and-surf songs, time for more serious stuff.

>>127404324 (OP)
not only made it, but it's their best record; an absolute masterpiece.

>buh buh Pet Sounds!
no.

>>127404516
>All Summer Long
>Today!
>Summer Days (And Summer Nights!!)
>Pet Sounds
>SMiLE
>Sunflower
>Surf's Up
>Love You

Did I miss any? Personally, I would include the Christmas album.

I'M A CORK ON THE OOOOOCEAN

Student demonstration time fucking sucks

>>127404570
yeah I'd add the Christmas album too

>>127404570
holland

>Sail On, Sailor is in another album
That's SAD.

A Day in the Life of a Tree is one of the most depressing songs I've heard and feels as equally of a representation of Brian Wilson's mindset and view of himself as I Wasn't Made for These Times.
I know it's supposed to be an environmental song, but a big part of me really feels this is how Brian felt about himself back then.

>>127406305
Yeah, but Holland rocks too.

>>127405006
I disagree. Its a cheeky homage(?) to revolution by john lennon

>child, child, child, child, child
>a child is the father of the man

>>127406902
Bravo, Brian

Surf's Up (the song) is a masterpiece for sure.

>>127404324 (OP)
it's so hard being an idol mubros ....

>>127404570
Friends and Holland

>>127404324 (OP)
student demonstration time didnt give it away?

>>127404570
>>127404516
>>127404324 (OP)
Their whole run that started with all summer long until love you is amazing

>>127408232
Well being a zoom-zoom I had pigeonholed them based off a few songs of theirs.

>>127408858
It's such a fucking grim song

>>127404497
damn...
>>127404570
Wild Honey is good as well. Also Adult/Child is a nice bootleg. Calendar Girl and Hey Little Tomboy are really good songs to mention some
RIP in peace Brian, didn't die on christmas day as predicted though

Name one beach boys song that isn't nauseatingly corny. Protip you cant

>Oh, reality, it's not for me
>And it makes me laugh
>Oh, fantasy world and anime girls
>I'm coming back

>>127414723
little honda

>>127404324 (OP)
I remember when someone posted till i die here in a time when i thought of them as corny surf pop rock

>>127404324 (OP)
Title track is better on Smile

>>127404455
Not with Student Demonstration Time and that version of Surf's Up. Put in (Wouldn't it be nice to) Live Again instead as the album ender

>>127420244
Picrel shows that they could have even pulled off a double album if they wanted. Big sur could have easily replaced students demonstration and sequencing (Wouldn't it be nice to) Live Again right after till I die would have been perfect

>>127404570
Smiley smile - brilliant album has a vibe all it's own. Partly cozy and pretty partly sinister

>>127406497
I agree. It sounds like Brian's suicide note basically but yeah apparently Brian didn't write the lyrics. Its crazy how close it is to how he must have felt

>>127404516
buh buh Smile (Sessions)

>>127406902
that's a smile leitmotif, most of the best moments on Surf's Up are smile cuts
>>127408858
except this one

>>127404455
No it's not. It's better than Sunflower.
>>127404516
Surf's Up is great, but Pet Sounds is in another league. Saying otherwise is either just personal preference or zoomer brainrot.

>>127421123
>muh zoomer brainrot.

>>127421250
>it's not true, it's just a lazy meme

>>127404324 (OP)
You know DAMN-well that Fast Freddy & The Crooners released Time to Go With The Tide an entire YEAR before Brian and his Beach Bums copied them

>>127404570
BB85 unironically

>>127421539
Was about to listen to that one. Been exploring the post-Love you albums recently.

>>127404497
Damn

>>127404324 (OP)
Yeah and it’s a flop

>>127404324 (OP)
sounds like a beach boys album

>>127404356
it's a painting based on James Earle Fraser's sculpture End of the Trail.
the manager or someone found the painting in a 2nd-hand store in LA
no one knows who painted it but it's def a paiting of the sculpture

>>127421919
I really don't get why people hate it. Like I can understand people not liking MIU or Keepin the Summer Alive but BB85 is just a solid 80s late-career record, better than some of the shit other 60s/70s artists were shoveling out at this time.

>>127414712
Wild Honey has some good tracks but that Stevie Wonder cover was a swing and a miss lol
I think Brian was out of his element on that one

>>127425621
Carl* whoops lol
