I looked at other retailers to see if there were competitive sales. Walmart and Best Buy also had the album on sale ($9.99 each). So, for big box stores, Target won.
Add in my other orders (vinyl, etc.) and the digital downloads, and I think I've been doing my part to promote and support the group and "That's Why God Made the Radio."
Want to listen to the album before you buy it? AOL is streaming the entire album. You can listen to that stream HERE (click these words).
I really hope The Beach Boys enjoy some commercial and critical success with this new album. It deserves it, and so do they. They manage to sound classic and fresh at the same time, and that isn't easy to do.
Have you folks bought the album yet? Downloaded it from Amazon or iTunes? What are your thoughts?
(I'll be trying to get some reviews on material that IS NOT Beach Boys soon. Sorry, but you'll have to bear with me. I loves me some Beach Boys, and a new studio album is a big deal to me!)
The new Beach Boys album is No. 1 on Amazon!
ReplyDeleteWill this help carry the album over to the more conventional charts? I hope so! The album is strong and enjoyable and deserves some recognition, and it would be wonderful for the group to reap some commercial rewards for such a strong work.
It seems most critics are giving favorable reviews, so let's see if the general public joins in.
