Welcome to the Year Of Redemption! Throughout the year we'll revisit artists we've covered in the past who have received lower scores than we expected and see how their other work compares. Up first is The Beach Boys! After Pet Sounds (Episode 29) failed to meet Connor's expectations, James decided to step a little farther back in time with The Beach Boys Today! It was a pivotal moment of growth for the band and for Brian Wilson as they expanded past the teen surf pop of their early days. One half is full of peppy coming-of-age pop tunes, while the other features heart-aching ballads. The Mixtaper has new facts about Brian Wilson's 8-ton sandbox, a crappy dinner, and a legendary surf duel. Get ready for the band's signature harmonies and inspired instrumentation, and ask yourself... Do You Wanna Dance?
