    Nothing really new here beyond some live takes or just outtakes. Given it's taken from an already terrific Beach Boys record "surf's up" it's bound to have some great moments . An opportunity to see how exactly they went from benevolent feel good surf rock to 60's pop architects

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So many creative tracks—you get to hear them experimenting during the time they were evolving from a surf band. A fantastic revolutionary surf band for sure—no one else like them with those harmonies, chords and lyrics—such fun memories and stick in the brain music. But this time is truly special anyone who lived through it a and is a fan knows it. But now the rest of the world gets to hear it in this age away from the radio hierarchy. A great listen and love worthy!… Expand

    Feel Flows is an absolutely essential document that takes the first steps toward rewriting the story of a band that managed to persevere against overwhelming odds.

    There have been so many reissued and remastered releases throughout The Beach Boys’ career that even the most dedicated completist might grow weary at the prospect of another. However, the tracking sessions on the third and fourth discs, and the alternate versions and rarities on the fifth, are significant additions to the band’s officially released discography.
