A departure from their earlier surf-rock, Brian Wilson, the creative genius behind The Beach Boys, turned inward and created an album as simple, direct, and beautiful as any made in the last half-century. From the wistful "Wouldn't It Be Nice" to the melancholy "Sloop John B" and "God Only Knows," this is an album for the casual music fan and the hard-core music analyst.
