#3664 The Beach Boys - Sunflower

3.5/5 The Beach Boys, some flashes of Pet Sounds aside, a little cloying, obvious, very nearly annoying. A lot of these songs are one-note concepts smeared out to multi-note harmonies without a whole lot of inspiration beyond the multiplication. And hoo boy is Add Some Music To Your Day a near-self-parodic piece of shit.

But there are those flashes where the magic strikes and how; the first and last tracks, in particular, are that kind of magic song that flits and slips through your fingers. That's how you make a song about music, by making good music. Jesus what a weirdly religious piece of shit that song is.
