    Huh. Not sure what to make of that. But yeah, under 3 minutes. I guess this way their live shows should be able to break 40 songs 8-)

    Oh, please. It would be tits. You probably don't know shit about the Beach Boys except a handful of crap songs you heard on the radio.

    You're right. That is all I know about them. Are you telling me that the rest of their stuff somehow sounds completely different than their radio songs?

    Is it supposed to be played there? What gives.

    The description of The Fixer sounds a helluva lot more promising than Got Some. Too bad this perfect windows down summer driving song doesn't come out until fall ;)

    Do you prefer I Want To Hold Your Hand, Rubber Soul or Abbey Road? The Beach Boys career is pretty much the same.

    +1. Also, if you're a Beatles fan at all, it's worth noting that Lennon particularly LOVED Pet Sounds, and you can hear much of its influence on later albums.

    I'm always skeptical of critics and like to weigh in on my own - that being said, I like the tone of this write up and can't wait to hear another "summer drivin" PJ song!

    Alan Cross is pretty reputable as far as PJ reviews go - he seems to be a die-hard.
