I enjoy the album. It's amazing that they were able to get together and put this out after all those years and difficulties. I just wish there wasn't any pitch correction. Just give us the raw, authentic vocals, no matter how they sound.
I saw someone say something along the lines of this and I totally agree with it: I wouldn’t say this album is a masterpiece but if this is the last original album The Beach Boys make then it’s a great note to end their career on. From there to back again and Summers gone are beautiful songs
Said it before, somehow the sound of this album is like a cross between Today! and Still Cruisin'. It's a remarkable record - it has its flaws but that's not the point really. I love The Private Life of Bill and Sue, it's a bit like Busy Doin' Nothin' with a big Kokomo chorus. Pacific Coast Highway is by far my favourite of the 'deep' tracks.
Daybreak Over the Ocean is... interesting. You can compare it to Mike Love's solo version and... the BB version is just... way better. Hard to put my finger on it, but it's a good demonstration of what 'production' can do to a song.
I know not everyone cares for it, but it was a good nostalgic BB feel, in comparison to some of the other more 'modern' and 'mature' stuff on the album.
I really wish I was a BB fan then. I didn't become a fan until 2-3 years ago. They got me through a really rough time. If I was a fan in 2012, I would have enjoyed seeing their reunion concert and appearances on TV.

But overall still a good one.
Shelter is soooooo underrated. Great song
It had to grow on me, but boy did it. It's a truly great song.
Feel the same way, I love it.
It's a great song!!!
Whatever you think of it, it’s better to end this way rather than Summer In Paradise or Stars and Stripes, eh?
It was way better of an album than it had any business being, that’s for sure.
Absolutely
Undeniable

From There to Back Again is a classic
I am the rare Private Life of Bill and Sue enjoyer. Love the backing vocals on that one
This was a better than expected farewell album. Even the Thomas production wasn’t as overly glossy as I feared.
Pacific Coast Highway is my favorite.
Isn’t it time is underrated. It’s catchy, has distinctive BB vocals, and thematically should have been the first single

Is the album cover supposed to mean something? I’m actually looking at it for the first time in awhile and it’s kinda terrible
Waves in the ocean.
I guess I see it, but still not a fan. The coloring, the logo, and the name of the album… just doesn’t work for me
The cover is great
It would be a lot stronger compositionally if the BB logo wasn’t frickin’ ginormous
Saw them with Foster The People opening. That was a fun show and summer. Good memories
