is inarguably the most long-awaited album
in modern pop history. It's been more than 37 years since the title first appeared on a label release schedule, intended as the January 1967 follow-up to the groundbreaking art-rock of the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds. But SMiLE never made its initial release date.
Today, this album is not a mere reconstruction of past performances, but something entirely new, a serious summation of a project that
has been gestating for nearly four decades."
- Amazon.com Music Editor
Peter Hilgendorf
"Best album of 2004"
- Thomas Bumbera
"Brian's Masterpiece" - Rhett J Sutter
"Soundtrack for an Insane Asylum"
- Wes Adams
Several top critics claim that the original Beach Boys recording from 1967 is far better, having heard some of the tracks. However, this original album, on which Eirik participated, is not released until 2012, on the 50th anniversary
of The Beach Boys (please see recordings released 2012).
