An unexpected but dazzling return to the top form of the later Beach Boys years.

Q MagazineHe has rediscovered the knack of making Beach Boys records again. And make no mistake, in sound if not personnel, this is a Beach Boys record. [Aug 2004, p.119]
-
UncutA valuable addition to his catalogue: the most consistent and sympathetically constructed solo album he's made. [Jul 2004, p.96]
-
His voice is rough, the melodies fall flat, and there's even a guitar solo by Eric Clapton.
-
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.
-
BlenderHe's labored, bombastic and pitch-challenged.... The lyrics are embarrassing. [Aug 2004, p.143]
-
Everyone wants Brian Wilson's story to have a happy ending. The worst thing about Gettin' In Over My Head - far worse than the mediocre songs and the MOR guest appearances - is that it doesn't sound terribly happy.
