Industry Reviews

“[Mark Dillon] tells the Beach Boys’ long, complex and fascinating history through their long, complex and fascinating songbook … It’s all there; Dillon doesn’t cut corners. He doesn’t just shower praise on Brian Wilson and leave it at that. And he doesn’t pretend that, for lengthy stretches, the Beach Boys weren’t ultra passe.” — PopMatters
