6. Meh.
I've had Smile for about a dozen years, so it's difficult to talk about objectively.

Now leave me alone, bastards! (hi Chavez!)

11. i was reluctant to buy it
ever since i heard the news that he was redoing the whole thing...i thought oh great, he's going to ruin the legend that is/was Smile.

i've been listening to the bootlegs for years and it is one of my favorite albums ever.

but my dad picked it up and recommended i listen to it...so i downloaded a couple tracks...

i am buying it as soon as i get paid tomorrow. he does a fantastic job with it and does not denigrate it's legendary status in any way.

12. I have never heard a remake SURPASS the original
It does. Sure his voice isn't what it used to be but it is still fantastic.

13. the opening track alone kills me
i thought the original version could not be topped...i suppose all the new technology and sound quality helps out with that a little bit...but damn, it knocks me off my feet and sets the mood for the rest of the album perfectly.

14. I am amazed at how cohesive the whole album is - much more than Pet
Sounds. That was one of the biggest flaws with Pet Sounds IMO. This is one of the most well rounded albums I've ever heard. The segways and revisitation of themes is just stelar
