On a side note, Holland is my favorite Beach Boys album. I went to college in San Luis Obispo, Calfornia, which is basically at the southern end of the region the California Saga is about. I've always felt a personal connection to it. For a long time, I only knew it on vinyl (my dad's copy), and I had hoped for years to find it on CD. I was so happy once it was available on CD. Now, the album makes me long for being back in that central California region.
It is funny that you should mention that listening to the album makes you long to be back in the Central California region, because when making this album some of the Beach Boys said they longed to be back in California also!
The album has some rich textures of music blended with those unmistakable Beach Boy harmonies!
