A fascinating album. After realizing that Brian simply could not complete the Smile project, the Beach Boys set up a studio in Brian's mansion, re-recorded several Smile tracks, ditched others in favor of slight, hastily written replacements ("Little Pad"), and shaped it all together for this 1967 release. The included version of the multi-part lead-off single ("Heroes And Villains") is a different version to others (versions) that Brian had worked out, and its brilliance does shine through. And other complex compositions are rendered slightly stoned, slightly beautiful: the upbeat, but loony "Vegetables," with Paul McCartney on, well, vegetables; and the gorgeous creepy melody introspectives of "Wonderful" and "Wind Chimes." The recordings are quite satisfying creations, and putting such a spotlight on the vocals gives these tracks a uniquely meditative sound. And the album does include Brian's greatest individual work - the unsurpassed A-side "Good Vibrations," left over from the fall of 1966. Carefully constructed from a series of unrelated segments, full of inventive gimmicks like its wailing electro-theremin line, and graced with outstanding vocals, it practically justifies the record's price all on its own. A strange varied mix of a (slightly stoned?) record, but Brian's songwriting was so otherworldly at this point that it's still one of the group's best efforts. Ever.
