AdamGJul 14, 2004As a die-hard Wilson/Beach Boys fan for over 25 years, it tears me up to realize that this is one of the five single-worst Beach Boys-related albums ever released. That makes two (1998's 'Imagination') bad albums in a row. The ONLY saving grace is the duet with Carl on "Soul Searchin'" and even THAT was better on bootlegs with The Beach Boys' backing vocals.

The evidence now seems indisputable that Wilson is completely, totally, finally spent as a creative forceas it is, were treading dangerously close to How many failed collaborators does it take to produce a half-decent Brian Wilson album? territory (answer: you cant count that high).

If you've followed Wilson's treacherous saga, it's heartening how upbeat Getting' in Over My Head sounds, even with a fair number of tracks misfiring.
