Member CD Reviews Robert R. (bobrjr29) from TRUCKEE, CA Reviewed on 8/7/2009... two stars...folks must be listening to a different disc than the one I heard...I like this cd as much as any brian wilson disc...sure his voice is weary and weathered...but shucks folks he is much older than 1963...he still writes great tunes arrangements and having van dyke parks on this disc enhances it tremendously...stop quibling about his voice and listen to the lyrics and enjoy the disc for what it is...another fine set of tunes from one of the all time greats of rock music...Id rather listen to his crackly tired sound than 99% of what passes for music today.
CD ReviewsWe are all lucky to be able experience new and fresh music f George Dionne | Cape Cod, MA | 09/03/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "The Good The legendary Beach Boys songwriter is back after the success of his comeback (and long-lost) album Smile. Wilson continues his flair for conceptual albums with his 2008 release That Lucky Old Sun. "Morning Beat" is an upbeat track that praises life in Los Angeles and how lucky it is to be in the middle of it. "Good Kind of Love" evokes a lot of the peace, love, and harmony that late 60s and early 70s music put forth. "Surfer Girl" seems a little out of place today, but captures the classic Beach Boys sound perfectly. "California Role" has a new wave feel as it tells the story of trying to find out your place in the vast fish bowl that is California. "Midnight's Another Day" is a piano heavy ballad in which Wilson pours out his heart and soul. "Going Home" has a great rock edge to it. The Bad Nothing notable The Verdict I thought Smile was a one-shot deal for Wilson, but he's surprised me that he still has more music in him. There's no doubt that the songs that make up That Lucky Old Sun were taken right out of the pages of Brian Wilson's life. Wilson delivers ten short tales of his life on the West Coast set to some of the catchiest, emotional, and fun musical backgrounds. Even the narratives that connect one story to the next are interesting. Wilson has another masterpiece on his hands with That Lucky Old Sun, and we are all lucky to be able experience new and fresh music from a musical legend." Surprisingly Awesome! Padre Pete | Alexandria, VA | 09/05/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I LOVE this, but it was not always so....the day this came out I listened to it a few times on my online music service and thought..."okay, but not worth buying" and am not sure if I listened to it again the following 11 months... Then with my online movie service I received the dvd version of this including the "making of" documentary, and that made me go back and listen to the cd...not just as music with words, but as the songs...carefully and as I took in the whole piece I could not help but be captivated at it's materful artistry.
I cannot say enough about this, and kick myself for not falling in love with it sooner. I was very critical of "Brian Wilson's 'Smile'" (and I still believe that is nothing more than him taking back and making money off of the bootleg versions floating out there as opposed to the "definative vision" which even he said does not exists), but "That Lucky Old Sun" is his first, in years, attempt at making a cd, and not only nice songs but Pet Sounds-like stringing them together to make a complete work. I highly recommend this!" |
