Reviewing Every Beach Boys Album, an intro

Hi everyone! I have made the executive decision to make this blog slightly more than just me posting nonsense constantly so I have decided to review every Beach Boys album because I hate myself.

First of all, I should state a few things about what counts as a 'Beach Boys Album' and what doesn't:

  • It has to be a studio album. I'm not going to try to come up with interesting things to say about Graduation Day 1966. Sorry Graduation Day 1966 fans.
  • Beach Boys albums only. I am not doing solo albums because then I would have to review David Marks' solo albums by technicality and I don't hate myself THAT much. 
  • This feels kind of obvious, but I won't be reviewing archival compilations as actual albums with the possible exception of Disc 1 of The Smile Sessions, which most fans can probably agree is a special case.
  • I'm only going to be reviewing albums which the actual Beach Boys themselves probably know about. This rule is here so I don't have to review the 500 junk compilations that pop up on Spotify constantly of the same few songs from the Hite Morgan sessions.

Did I actually have to specify any of this? Probably not! But it's fun to be unnecessarily specific. And that's what counts.

See you next blog post (probably), where I ramble about Surfin' Safari.
