#217 - The Beach Boys - Surf's Up

The dark cover is surprising from a band that's supposed to be about the beach, fun, girls etc. But these times are over, and the album reflects that. It sounds like they are just fed up with their previous sweet happy songs, but still they're blessed with their unique style, harmonies, voices, so they try to do the best  to create a darker, grown-up album with it, and while it sounds very different to the earlier Beach Boys music, it still has some very beautiful songs that do contain the typical harmonic singing and the same instrumentation, but the songs are much deeper, darker, melancholic. A very good and surprising record.
