In the Back of My Mind described what I felt as an 8th grader. "So happy at times that I break out in tears...(but in) back of my mind I still have my fears". Good hell! How (again!!) did Brian know THAT about ME? To be a musical critic in a critical sense of this oddball (as is said) is to not have had a teen-age in the time of this album gem. Everyone felt like a Californian in this era of The Beach Boys. This is a precursor to what was to come. And wow, did it come in droves.
For decades I’ve referred to BB Today as Pet Sounds Volume 1. It was their “Rubber Soul” nine months before said album was released. That said, I don’t know what you could compare Pet Sounds or the original Smile sessions to. These were arguably the greatest recordings ever.

Dennis’s voice has so much charisma, this song was perfect for him!
My favourite Dennis lead!!
My first ever BB album. What a way to start, an album that begins and ends with Dennis.

I agree with that. That is a great take. I think Love You is very good in it's own way but yes nothing can compare to pet sounds
I can get with that. That's a great take. I'll say Love You is a very good album in its own way but nothing can compare to Pet Sounds
The order of the releases in 65 should have been the other way around, this album with its maturity should have come after Summer days
I'm 11 and love The Beach Boys, I sing their songs on TH-cam 😊
Very cool!
A masterpiece, for sure. "Today" is a fantastic album...right up there with "Pet Sounds", IMHO. Thanks so much for this.😊👍
Glad I’ve found this channel! Good luck in creating future content
Totally predictive of Pet Sounds. This track is the Beach Boys’ Rosetta Stone.
Love this channel keep it up big dawg❤
im sorry but dennis voice on this song does not do justice. carl or brian should have sung this.
Agreed..one of the weakest performances of this legendary group
Brians 75 demo is pretty good
@@Gabriel-ki7uj I'd like to hear it. Is it around on the Tube?
@@ericrose3877 yes it is
@@DouglasMoreland-qd5czNah Dennis was perfect for this, you just gotta hear the emotion in his voice
