I picked this CD up when it first came out and thought it was very good. I probably listened to it four or five times the first week. Then, the other day, I popped it in the car CD player and could barely make it through one song. In fact, I couldn't wait to trade it in. It is so incredibly sacharine and just plain dull. Brian Wilson hasn't made a decent CD since "Pet Sounds" (vastly overrated itself!) I've owned all his solo stuff and eventually traded them all in. They simply don't hold up.
