Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A forgotten classicI'd heard a lot about this album but only came by a copy earlier this year for the first time. I'd been expecting dissapointment - after all, the catalogue of great drummer's albums is a pretty slim volume - and 30 years on maybe the moment would have passed. But this one is a revelation - a rarity that delivers. Dennis had real talent as a writer withstanding comparison way up there with his more revered brother Brian. Not as a pale immitation but as a strong independent voice. The album is obviously the work of a Beach Boy but not a Beach Boys album by any means. Pacific Ocean Blue has a range and depth that is quite unexpected without the pomposity and grandeur of some 70s contemporaries. It manages to side step the sunny ...

The 'big five' scrape the bottom of every barrel they have until you can see through the bottom of it, (Nirvana for instance) but yet this untapped potential source of income continues to be overlooked. It IS a wonderful album, and not just because it's hard to come by. Snobbish 'purists' who own it like to make you think that they know something that you don't because they own it, and you don't. So let's get one over on them - the sort of people who still describe a song as a 'cut', and use the word 'stylus'. Print up ten million copies of this album and share it with the world, because EVERYBODY should hear it. Rating: - Why is it so rare?I bought this album a year or so ago and I listen to it all the time. My advice is to buy any copy that comes your way - ideally on CD . It has a balance and musicality which is different and in some ways better than the work of Brian Wilson. All the hype about a missing Beach Boy classic is justified. Some of the voice harmonics on the album are just earth shattering!!! Rating: - How come?Yes! How come there are countless zillions of Beach Boy compilations, reissues, etc easily available, yet nobody left from the Wilson family has bothered to keep this album alive, letting it become deleted from the back catalogue. Shame on them for not putting pressure on the record company who owns the rights to rerelease it, perhaps it is for legal reasons, who knows? Who cares? This album was made back in the days when Dennis was going through his well documented "troubles", it is very personal, not easy listening for the casual listener. It is NOT worth £150 + though! What album is, really? Like the other reviewer said, wait until it is released as part of some huge package to mark the 40th anniversary of some Beach Boy's landmark date or ... Read More: |
