  Description THE BEACH BOYS~TODAY

Today! is the ninth studio album by The Beach Boys, and their first of three in 1965. Although no one realized the significance of the album at the time, Today! marked a major turning point inside the band's world, and in particular, leader Brian Wilson's personal life.

By the end of a particularly stressful 1964, The Beach Boys had released four albums in the preceding twelve months, in addition to beginning this album by recording two advance singlesÃ?Â?Ã?Â?"When I Grow Up" and "Dance, Dance, Dance." As the man in charge, Wilson was both physically and emotionally exhausted, yet the Beatles' ever-increasing popularity and influence ensured that Brian kept slogging to keep afloat. On December 23, 1964, Brian had a nervous breakdown due to the strain and realized that something was going to have to give. And that was touring.

While the bulk of Today! was being recorded in January 1965, he informed the rest of the band that he wanted to stay in the studio and create their music while the Boys played it to audiences. The band relunctantly agreed, and after a brief alliance with Glen Campbell in Wilson's place, Bruce Johnston, a musician and major admirer of the band, became the Beach Boys' live bassist in April 1965 as Today! was rising the charts. Many consider Today! to mark the beginning of Brian Wilson's artistic maturation.

The album is famous for having one side of up-beat songs and a second side of melancholic ballads.
