Agreed. I listened to it all the way through once again yesterday and I like it better than Smile at this point. I've never been a big Beach Boys fan, but I have a great appreciation for what they produced. It seems like Dennis could have had a huge career, possibly ending up to be better known than Brian in the end, if his life hadn't gotten in the way of things. It is so sad how great minds sometimes spiral out of control before their time... I'm just glad that James Guercio persevered and got all the unreleased stuff out in a good production. Listening to the Bambu cuts, it could have been a big album.
