Reviews

Rated 10/10

A genius 90’s Beach Boys.

Rated 5/10

Started fine, but went on long enough that it got really annoying

Rated 4/10

Decent but dull, and a long way short of "essential", but much better than the worst of the dross. Sounds like 2 stars to me, but pretty close to a third. 2.49999 if you like

Rated 4/10

Enjoyed the Beach Boys influence and the lush, pleasant sound, but ultimately it felt more like background music than an album I wanted to actively listen to. Far too long, and most of it was pretty forgettable. I can appreciate what they were going for, but I don’t think I’ll be coming back to it.
