4.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, July 8, 2001

By A Customer

This CD has a lot of great Beach boy songs. Many of my favorites! Of course you can read the listings of all the songs...but perhaps you don't know all of them. I personaly am not a fan of slow songs, and this one does have a few, but not many. It has more fast songs, great to sing along with!!

2.0 out of 5 stars The first and the worst Beach Boys albums, May 12, 2000

By	Robert Storm (Finland) - See all my reviews

On their first album Surfin' Safari The Beach Boys could sing a bit and couldn't play almost at all. Brian Wilson wrote a few not bad songs but he wasn't a real genius yet. The arrangements are bad. The best song on the album is Cuckoo Clock. On the second album Surfin' USA The Beach Boys still couldn't play but their attitude was completely different. Brian wrote a few good songs, and the title track (actually a cover version of Chuck Berry's Sweet Little Sixteen) is excellent. It's quite amazing that these albums were made only about three years before the great Pet Sounds.
