This is a DTS CD, which features DTS 5.1 Surround Sound technology and is playable on a DTS-capable 5.1 Surround Sound system.

IMAGINATION includes a remake of the Beach Boys' "Let Him Run Wild" and a Jimmy Buffett collaboration, "South American," that gives "Kokomo" a run for its money. It's only the second album of new material Wilson has made in the 25 or so years he's spent lolling around his swimming pool, and it's a damn shame because at its best, which those two songs aren't, it flirts with perfection.

Beyond the three- and four-part harmonies (handled mostly by Wilson himself) and the dense beds of saxes, trumpets, clarinets and percussion--all of which Wilson fans have long been able to count on--are those classic Wilson melodies. He thrives on little complexities, like the strange modulations in the doo-woppy "Keep An Eye On Summer" and the extra chords in "Lay Down Burden" over which he stretches a stock pop melody. And he can still turn out a deceptively simple pop hook, as on "Your Imagination," and surprise you with his voice, like when he reaches for the lower depths of his range on "Cry."

Contains interviews with Jimmy Buffett, Eric Clapton, Stevie Wonder, Elvis Costello, Glen Campbell, Peter Buck, Sean Lennon, Barenaked ladies, Paul Shaffer, Diane Warren, and Melinda Wilson as well as concert footage.

Entertainment Weekly (6/19/98, p.74) - "...Wilson, the vocally rejuvenated Beach Boy auteur, trades in whimsy for effervescence here and the sunlit results are gladdening." - Rating: B
Q (4/00, p.117) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...relies to some extent on the fact that you know who Brian Wilson is....IMAGINATION is his most consistent effort since [1965's PET SOUNDS]."

Customer Imagination Reviews 




Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Outstanding Effort!
Brian's Imagination CD is thoroughly enjoyable throughout - but the first four tracks are easily the most listenable and impressive. I enjoy Brian's solo work more than I did the Beach Boys! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Between 1967 and 2004, the SMILE sessions were pretty much the Dead Sea Scrolls of pop music. Well documented as head Beach Boy Brian Wilson's answer to the Beatles' masterpiece SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND (which was itself largely an answer to the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS), the tracks laid down in '67 for the projected SMILE album were the furthest afield anyone nominally operating under the pop/rock umbrella had ever ventured. Notoriously, intraband conflict (Mike Love, in particular, found the Wilson/Van Dyke Parks-penned conceptual ...
