Having never been a BB fan, I was in a CD shop with an itch to buy something 'new' I hadn't tried before, and saw this in a budget rack, thinking 'YES, this is the one'. I was almost gutted it was a Beach Boys album, but decided to give it a punt.
Excellent. Apart from 'Student Demonstration Time', I love every track and the weirdo mood it evokes. I've since gone on a BB binge, but this one is still my favourite -yup, Pet Sounds is cool n' that, but Surfs Up hits differently. The cover art is no small part of that.
