Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
Put simply, this is the Beach Boys at their mid-'60s prime. Ironically, the band's greatest evolutionary leap was spurred by its leader, Brian Wilson, who decided to drop out of the band's live performances after a December 1964 nervous breakdown to concentrate on honing the Beach Boys' studio sound. With Wilson's productions gaining a significant new depth and confidence (note the innovative modulations on "Dance, Dance, Dance"), the first half of Today seems a logical, upbeat step forward from its predecessors. But it's the album's second act that steals the show, setting the stage for the triumph of Pet Sounds. Indeed, it's easy to imagine gorgeous, introspective tracks such as "Please Let Me Wonder," "She Knows Me Too Well," and "In the Back of My Mind" intertwined with the best of Sounds. Set against that standard, the follow-up, Summer Days, feels like a step backward, despite the presence of another Wilson world-beater production, "California Girls," and the band's second No. 1 single, "Help Me, Rhonda." Ever pressured by commercial concerns, Wilson and the band created what was in essence the true follow-up to the All Summer Long album. Still, there's a level of musical sophistication to tracks such as "The Girl from New York City," the Phil Spector tribute "Then I Kissed Her," and especially "Girl Don't Tell Me" and "Let Him Run Wild." Reissued (with 24-bit digital remastering) in a long out-of-print twofer edition to mark the band's 40th anniversary and Lifetime Achievement Grammy, this set features several bonus tracks as well as the insightful notes of David Leaf (The Beach Boys and the California Myth). Bonus cuts include the spectacular "The Little Girl I Once Knew" and revealing outtakes of "Dance, Dance, Dance," "I'm So Young," and "Let Him Run Wild," along with a studio version of a song previously only available on the Beach Boys Concert collection, "Graduation Day." --Jerry McCulley

'The Beach Boys Today!' is becoming one of my favorite albums (Pet Sounds and SMiLE being my favorites). 'Today!' shows a maturing aspect to the production and song writing of Brian Wilson. 'Today!' replaces the surf and car theme with themes of love and fun while keeping the beautiful harmony style from previous albums.
I was shocked that I had never heard 'She Knows Me Too Well' before listening to this CD. I rank it up there with 'Don't Worry Baby' and 'God Only Knows'. Except for ... Read More

Now approaching the big 6-0 but still listening to the Beach Boys. I have loved a lot of music in my life, there has been a lot which infatuated me temporarily but from which I eventually moved on. Yet I have stayed with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys since my early teens. No matter how many times I listen to them, particularly Pet Sounds, BB Today, Smile, etc. I always hear something new, and I suspect this will be the case forever. Anyway, of everything in their catalogue, it is clearly time for ... Read More

5 Stars for the music, Minus 4 for the transfer and mastering. Granted, most of the music on this CD ranks right up there with the Pet Sounds material. That is why this music deserves better audio! From the first time I listened to this CD, I noticed something was wrong - the music sounded dulled somehow, there was no detail or sharpness - in short: it did not sound the way I expected a year 2000 "remaster" to sound. So eventually I imported the tracks into Pro Tools to see if there was anything I could ... Read More

You heard me: Today! and Summer Days are better than Pet Sounds. And having them combined into one disc is better than anything. I think Brian's strongest ideas are on these two releases. They have more of the emotional depth that would come with Pet Sounds yet still retain the precise, clean propulsive pop energy you would find with earlier singles. The lush orchestrations of Pet Sounds are fine and dandy but nothing on that album compares to the performance of a track like "Girl Don't Tell Me". Singularly ... Read More

NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SONGS (WHICH ARE KILLER)!
