Free Music Review: Almost as good as PET SOUNDS, why is this an import?
Hit: 5 Stars
I looked for TODAY! in almost every record store I went into, and wound up buying a used cassette copy. There is no reason why TODAY should be out of print in Capitol's domestic catalog. The company spends way to much time re-hashing the early surf material on waste-basket compliations, than allowing listeners the enjoyment of hearing the innovative creations Brian Wilson made. TODAY! is almost as good as PET SOUNDS. Its a consistent and enjoyable album, and its essential for any Beach Boys fan or a collector of great music. Not a single track on this album is anything less than excellent. Gems like "Please Let Me Wonder", "When I Grow Up", "Kiss Me Baby", "Help Me Rhonda", and "Do You Wanna Dance" are some of the album's best and most notable tracks. "Kiss Me Baby" comes complete with the classic harmonies, and is one of my favorite Beach Boys songs. The song was on the original BEST OF album, but Capitol has ignored it on the two GREATEST HITS: 20 (MORE) GOOD VIBRATIONS albums. "Please Let Me Wonder" is every bit as advanced as the songs from PET SOUNDS. "When I Grow Up" is a classic, with the perfection only Brian Wilson could manage. The version of "Do You Wanna Dance" is better than the original. "Dance Dance Dance" is a great uptempo tune. "Good To My Baby", "I'm So Young", "Don't Hurt My Little Sister", and "She Knows Me Too Well" all display Brian Wilson's musical genius, with the exceptional harmonies and outstanding melodies. TODAY also is the beginning of The Beach Boys evolution out of surfing and teen music to the best of pop and rock music. TODAY! is a milestone in the pop-rock world, a classic with ten magnificent songs, all majestically performed. The CD definately must be re-issued in domestic print for music buyers! THIS ALBUM SHOULD BE FOUND IN THE DOMESTIC CATALOG, AND NOT BE AN IMPORT. INSTEAD OF RE-ISSUING "Surfin' USA" ANOTHER 20 MILLION TIMES, BRING ALBUMS LIKE TODAY!, SMILEY SMILE, SUMMER DAYS-SUMMER NIGHTS, ETC. BACK IN PRINT!
Today! Poster
Limited edition Japanese pressing of this album comes housed in a miniature LP sleeve.The cover for this 1965 album shows five nice young men in coordinated sweaters and neatly combed hair: all-American boys ready to do battle against those scruffy Englishmen who had recently laid siege to radio USA. The reality was much different: band leader and creative mainstay Brian Wilson had recently suffered a nervous breakdown on the road and announced he would no longer tour. The upside was Wilson's deepening devotion to the studio and its possibilities. The themes of Wilson's joyous music were also taking on surprisingly mature perspectives: the introspection of "When I Grow Up," the yearning of "Please Let Me Wonder," and the resignation of "She Knows Me Too Well." Even the version of the hit "Help Me, Rhonda" included on the album is more spacious and refined. Though it precedes Pet Sounds by a year and two albums, admirers of that landmark disc will be pleased to find its musical and thematic seeds were sown on this one. --Jerry McCulley
