It's one thing to nail a cover song, but to completely nail a song as revered and complex as this is another.

Everything sounds so true to the original, and those harmonies are just amazing...sounds like you had the Beach Boys visit your house and record them!!

Amazing job!

Wow!   :o  My bro told me to come over and take a listen...

A masterpiece indeed! With each musical part and each step of the production you're walking in the footsteps of the masters.  Quite an accomplishment and it just sounds soooo good. And the astonishing attention to detail.... just a real joy to listen to.

Congratulations!  :)

These days I merely dabble at being old and wise.
But I swear, I used to absolutely excel at being young and stupid.

I've contended for a while now that this is the most perfectly constructed pop song ever written, and for you to pull off its many layers is a feat.

Nice job and more impotantly, a great listen.

Strange, I wrote a longish comment last night and now its gone.  Oh well.

Basically I said I agree with 64G, I like the covers where a musician has carefully isolated each part of a song, mastered it, and put it back together.  You have done this beautifully here; with keen attention to detail, and highly skilled musicianship.

Each part is duplicated near perfectly, both instruments and vox.  And your mix is brilliant; balance, panning, loop effects, all are spot on.  I'm amazed by the drums, I've never heard canned drums sound so much like hand played.

Superb job rich, and clarke too. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

This is incredibly impressive, great work. I also am not a huge fan of "straight" covers, and you have to be damn careful with classic songs like this. But you did an amazing job here, it was a pleasure to listen to and you faithfully reporduce the structure and elements of the song but there is still some uniqueness in there. And the production is fabulous, you did really well to keep this so crisp and clear. To be able to produce music of this quality using home recording gear is a real testament to your abilities, incredibly well done!

Cheers,

I believed it couldn't be done. I believed wrongly. Holy fucking moley... this is too good for words. You clever, clever bastard, lol. I'm spellbound and blown away - not to mention jealous as hell! I can't even work out how you did half of it.

This truly has set a new benchmark for this community.

I can't even find the words...
