Could anyone tell me if this album is worth getting? I've heard 3 or 4 clips from it and it sounds intriguing, but i just don't know whether to get it or not!
thanks in advance
This is the time and this is the time and it is time, time, time, time, time, time, time.....

| Just dug out my copy, if you like Van Dyke's work with Brian Wilson I would consider buying it. However my main problem with the album is Park's vocals, to me they are annoying, whiny voice with slight echo, and ruin the album. If they are not annoying you on the sample cuts buy it. |

I basically go along with mikeb here, I bought it last summer on a whim (cheap used cd on eBay), and after I guess three listens I'm still glad I did, though it probably won't find it's way to my stereo terribly often. Interesting sort-of "period piece" maybe I could call it.
It bears mentioning that I have only lightly tapped into Brian Wilson territory like Smile and Pet Sounds--I like those alot, just haven't been drawn all the way in yet. |
