This is an album of mostly punk or surf musicians covering the songs of Brian Wilson. Most of the performances are pretty good. My personal favorite is a gorgeous version of the instrumental "Pet Sounds". But like most tribute albums, there are a few stinkers. The versions of "409" and "I Wanna Pick You Up" here are pretty bad. But if you want to hear different interpretations of Brian Wilson songs, you will probably like at least some of the performances here. Here is the complete track listing:

1. Dance, Dance, Dance - Handsome Dick Manitoba

2. This Car of Mine - World Famous Blue Jays

3. Johnny Carson - Das Damen

4. Darlin' - The Records

5. Gonna Hustle You - Peter Stampfel & the Bottle Caps

6. Chug-A-Lug - The Untamed Youth

7. Wind Chimes - Mooseheart Faith

8. Pet Sounds - Dos Dragsters

9. I Know There's an Answer - Sonic Youth

10. Drive-In - The A-Bones

11. 409 - Billy Childish and Thee Headcoats

12. Be True to Your School - The Cynics

13. Help Me, Rhonda - The Original Sins

14. I Wanna Pick You Up - Sharky's Machine

15. Meet Me in My Dreams Tonight - The Vacant Lot

16. Wonderful/Whistle In - Nikki Sudden & the Mermaids
