and so, after much griping and complaining, i have finally seen the light. nearly six months to the day since it's release (finally!!!), i have at last recognized the genius within Brian Wilson's "Smile." Truly. It's not over-rated, it just may be the most impactful cd of the milenium, thus far. definitely worth the 30 year wait which the former Beach Boys front-man subjected us to. pick it up at your local record shop, download it from the net, whatever you do listen to this album.
