The Beach Boys - Friends (1967/2015) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

"There is 'less is more' production philosophy, charming tricks, for example tuba on Wake The World and, most of all, having fun in the best possible sense."
- Sputnikmusic

"… it does have a pleasant quality and just passes by like a gently flowing stream … ultimately satisfying in its own way … should be listened to with your feet up and a glass of wine in hand."
- Blogcritics.org

"Four Stars. Everything on the first side is great … listen once and you might think this album is nowhere. But it's really just at a very special place and after a half-dozen listenings, you can be there."
- Rolling Stone

"Released at the height of hippie excess, this masterpiece went unnoticed … while extremely pleasant and nonabrasive, is more psychedelic than anything David Crosby ever penned. Brian’s songs are uniformly remarkable …"
- PopMatters.com

Brian Wilson has stated in interviews that the mellow, laid-back Friends, released in 1968, remains his favourite Beach Boys album, although it was largely overlooked in the US. Often considered a showcase for the emergence of Dennis Wilson as a writer and singer, the album and title track single did better on charts in the UK than in the US.
