Watching that video for "Summer Of Love" tickled me. What a dumpster fire!!

I sent it to a friend a few weeks ago and he legit thought it was a Weird Al video at the beginning haha! So bad.

Excrement is kind. Too kind... I should have known my ex and I weren't long for this world when she told me how much she loved "Kokomo."

This album is a car wreck where I'm completely able to avert my eyes (and ears) as I drive past it.

Try getting into a car wreck five times while writing this piece. Pretty sure I don't need to ever listen to this one again!

You hatin’ on Mike Love?! Really?! Good. I’m on board…all day, every day! I’d buy passage on THAT yacht anytime! GOD BLESS BRIAN (and Melinda)!

All Wilsons and Al are great! Mike Love can get lost (unless it’s “All I Wanna Do” or “Cool, Cool Water”).

"The album packaging and contents are advertised as a recyclable Eco Pak, which is perfect because it belongs in a trash bin."

I got a feeling this is gonna be the best sentence I read all day. lol.

I had no idea this record existed. After reading this review, sounds like that's for the best?

Thanks, Kevin! I can riff on Mike Love all day, but it’s best to save it for a few times a year.

It is for the best you didn’t know about ‘Summer in Paradise.’ One of the best examples of being out of touch that the industry has given us. While every label exec screamed for the next Nirvana, Mike Love was like, “y’all love tepid hip hop?”
