    The Beach Boys meets Flogging Molly? I wasn't really feelin' it. The title song and some others were good, but for every good song there's Porcupine or Pineapple, a really pitiful attempt at an War protest song. Even The Flaming Lips, with all their in-your-face ridiculousness, managed a more serious protest than the Brakes. I'd recommend avoiding this CD.

    As exciting as it is original-sounding.

    The Beatific Visions is one of the most enthralling, deceiving and delightful albums of recent times.
