That said, Smiley Smile, SMiLE's replacement, is also a very strange album in a different way and has some pretty strange harmonies but not as complex as the Sessions.
I remember checking the Beach Boys out many years ago, on my neverending quest to check everything out. I sure noticed their greatness, but it wasn't particularly my cup of tea.
But listening to The Smile Sessions now I am really impressed. Truly special and beautiful music. Will have to give their other albums a chance again, too.
Thank you very much!
