I never got it when people said Super Furry Animals sound like the Beach Boys, but it's here: those harmonies, that cushioney production, that wriggling experimentalism.
There's subtle diversity all throughout Sunflower, throwbacks with varying reach, sounding like The Creation in places, with touches of R&B revival - it's no wonder it fared better in England than stateside. When it veers away from rock and roll though, it falters - too-late gestures like Add Some Music To Your Day, Tears in the Morning, and Cool Cool Water just sound cloying and dopey and out of touch, breaking up any kind of atmosphere. Just wasn't made for these times 3/5
