Beach Boys: Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Alan Jardine, Brian Wilson, Dennis Wilson.
Producers: Brian Wilson, Carl Wilson, Bruce Johnston, Dennis Wilson, Alan Jardine.
Available on the 2-fer FRIENDS/20/20.
The last Beach Boys album of the 1960s opens with the blissful rocker "Do It Again," which expresses nostalgia for "all the places we surfed and danced" and--despite a wacky arrangement--sounds as good as any of the old songs they might have surfed or danced to in those halcyon days. It was, deservedly, the biggest hit they'd have with an original song until "Kokomo" nearly 20 years later. The rest of 20/20 is a compellingly schizophrenic collection of songs produced and, presumably, played by a variety of Beach Boys in the manner of the Beatles' WHITE ALBUM.
On one hand, Brian Wilson contributes the ethereal, a cappella fragment "Our Prayer" and Bruce Johnston tries his hand at a PET SOUNDS-like instrumental, "The Nearest Faraway Place." On the other hand, Dennis Wilson devolves the band into garage rockers for "All I Want To Do" while Brian and Carl offer the druggy jazz-pop ditty "I Went To Sleep."
