I really like the (attempted) themes on Smile with the lyrics and whole americana thing
its hard to imagine a finished version even being able to capture it all. a finished masterpiece album combining the themes of Americana, health, humor, childhood/innocence, history, nature and spirituality into a ~45 minute pop experience
He could have done it I believe
Interesting
Pretty much every 60s album is a classic though
And even some 70s ones like blood on the tracks or desire
janelle worked with outkast, prince and brian wilson before she turned 35
Great artist fr
she deserves more love

do you like Nashville Skyline

van dyke parks leaving is what killed the album immediately
he had no one to finish the lyrics with and nobody to flesh out the sequencing and concept

The Prince song being scrubbed off the album is weird asf

He just needed 3-6 more months of hard work. They could’ve feasibly dropped it in early 68 I think.
is it a hot take to say that a finished version still wouldn't have been as good as Pet Sounds
We’ll never know tbh
By what exactly
the music

Especially since (most of) his music is available on Spotify and Apple Music now.

Problem was back then, nobody took 2 years to drop an album. You dropped once a year at the minimum, most dropped 2 a year.

Could you imagine some of these artists today having to drop an album every 6 months
my boss is very rude

He absolutely could’ve talked that s*** but he was too humble
yeah he tripped in the studio and then thought it was an interesting noise so he got the studio to mic up the piano and then recorded himself falling into it
you can listen to it on the smile boxset "brian falls into piano"
thats f***ing hilarious

but if Brian was in the mental state to be able to do that...would he even have been able to conceive "Smile" as we know it in the first place? :mystery:
