The Beach Boys: That’s Why God Made the Radio
Aug 15th, 2012 by dcronin
“Plans for the Beach Boys’ 50th anniversary tour came together surprisingly quickly, but nothing prepared fans for a full studio album just six months after their official reunion… That’s Why God Made the Radio is as good as it gets for those who love their Beach Boys. It includes frequently gorgeous charts from Wilson and just a little sweetening to the songs… [T]ogether they form what is easily the best Beach Boys record in 35 years — and a surprisingly cohesive, reflective, listenable one at that.” –All Music Guide
