There was a GREAT show on SHOWTIME tonight called "Beautiful Dreamer: Brian Wilson and the Story of SMiLE" it was a 2 hour documentary FULL of performances and candid interviews with Brian, his band, his family, his friends.  It was awesome, Brian sang old songs, they had old footage of him singing and recording in the studio, they had behind the scenes of him rehearsing for this tour with him looking fucking PETRIFIED, I felt so bad for him, during a whole week of vocal sessions he just sat there looking disturbed, at one point, he says "I have to get out of here", left, and checked himself into a hospital, lol.  He just looked so petrified and scared, and when he did, he looked exactly like he did in the footage they just showed from 1966.  Check Showtime to see if you can catch a re-run or record it on your DVR or something, incredibly fascinating.

a good album yeas , greatest of all time ? No . The album sounds over-produced and messy at parts , I was a little dissapointed with it

Hmm; I totally disagree.  I think it's one of the most inspired works I've ever heard, I love his vocals, it's well written, and nearly perfectly produced.  I never said it was the greatest album of all time.  It is ONE of the greatest albums of all time, though.  Ce'st la Vie
