How did /mu/ react when this album came out? It's been almost 5 years.
>>68362165
/mu/ didn't care about the beach boys until recently
Well it's sad that it's not the album that Brian envisioned or heard in his head (No comedy sketches in between songs to segue) but I'm glad it finally came out nonetheless.
>>68362856
i wish they had comedy sketches
brian was so qt in the outtakes :(

>>68362165
There was like one guy spamming it incessantly, so it became /mu/core
I'm just happy to have heard it to be quite honest. It's not as good as pet sounds but it's still pretty fucking good.

BWPS didn't have any comedy sketches

BWPS wasn't how SMiLE was supposed to sound

It was Mike. It was always Mike

>/mu/ has been praising pet sounds since the indie kids kicked out the metal kids
>recently
lol
>>68363657
desu the only reason that i finally got into them is because i had been seeing brians face on /mu/ for YEARS
>>68363484
It's how it was supposed to sound after decades of being able to rethink his concept and look at it away from the drugs and schizophrenia.

>after decades of being able to rethink his concept
Incorrect. he didn't think of it at all. Please research before you talk about something.
>>68364520
I mean being able to revisit it after decades, coming at it from a new perspective after what he had gone through personally and professionally since the original project ended.
>>68365675
Which is why BWPS wasn't how SMiLE was supposed to sound. Please keep up.

i feel like they should have been in a wes anderson film

it's the closest we're gonna get senpai
plus regardless of what it was "supposed" to sound like half a century ago it still sounds great today as what it is

What? Do you seriously think Brian will one day remember everything from 1966-1967 and put out a version of SMiLE that's exactly what he originally envisioned? The Smile Sessions is the closest we're ever gonna get.
>Yeah historical revisionism is great
Top kek, don't be such an uptight asshole. Would you rather Brian had never released SMiLE?

Not what I'm suggesting

Wrong. See >>68363484
>Would you rather Brian had never released SMiLE?
Do you not know what bootlegs are?
>>68366636
>Do you not know what bootlegs are?
Those bootlegs aren't accurate either though. SMiLE was never completed so Brian never came up with a definitive tracklisting. Your average SMiLE bootleg isn't anymore accurate than BWPS.
>>68366681
>Those bootlegs aren't accurate either though
They aren't the actual SMiLE recordings? You are not smart
>SMiLE was never completed so Brian never came up with a definitive tracklisting
Literally look on the back of the LP
>>68366793
>They aren't the actual SMiLE recordings? You are not smart
I thought you were saying that the SMiLE bootlegs are more accurate to what Brian had in mind than The Smile Sessions. I now see you weren't saying that. Anyway, why did you bother bringing up bootlegs? The bootlegs don't sound as good as The Smile Sessions.
I didn't know the significance of it back then but people put it on a very high regard
>>68366918
>Anyway, why did you bother bringing up bootlegs?
You implied we would never have heard the Smile Recordings without The Smile Sessions, which is wrong.
>The bootlegs don't sound as good as The Smile Sessions.
Which ones specifically?
>>68367005
>You implied we would never have heard the Smile Recordings without The Smile Sessions, which is wrong.
My point is you should be happy all of the SMiLE material is now available in high quality. Not even the best bootlegs can compare to the flawless audio of The Smile Sessions. You can bitch about "historical revisionism" but every serious Beach Boys fan knows that SMiLE was never finished and BWPS/TSS isn't what Brian envisioned in 1966-1967 so the "historical revisionism" doesn't really matter.
>>68367157
>Not even the best bootlegs can compare to the flawless audio of The Smile Sessions
Ooops you didn't answer my question. Which specifically? Surely you don't mean the bootlegs that are literal rips of the master tapes before the Smile Sessions producers tampered with the tapes, do you?

anybody who thinks they can say how Smile was "supposed to sound" has their head as far up their ass as Mike Love
>>68367005
The bootlegs for Look and Dada sound awful compared to TSS, nobody in their right mind would argue they're superior just because they haven't been touched by engineers
>>68371495
Wrong. There's lots of evidence left of what Brian had intended back then that you could cobble together a more accurate representation
>>68371591
Which bootlegs specifically? The ones on Unsurpassed Masters are copied literally form the master tapes
