    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

    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

    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

    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

    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:
