Whether a review is positive, negative, or neutral, we always publish it. However, we screen every review to ensure it is authentic and free of profanity. These checks happen automatically, though a human occasionally steps in. We never pay for reviews.
I'm not too familiar with the Beach Boys, except for Pet Sounds. But even not knowing the tracks, this album seems pretty decent. The bass is quite full. And it's engaging. There aren't any of the major hits... So I'm unsure why it's named the 15 big ones. But for the cost, no issues.
This ain't the Beach Boys' finest work, but even their off days are enjoyable
15 Mediocre Ones" might not sound like a great title, but it's pretty spot on. There are moments when the production hints at the Beach Boys' potential, but they're quite rare. "Had To Phone Ya" is a blast, "Back Home" has lyrics that are utterly silly but the tune is fantastic, and "Just Once In My Life" is the only cover that truly shines. The sound quality of this pressing is decent, with a solid low end, crisp harmonies, and a wide, full soundstage. My copy has a skip right at the start of "Rock N' Roll Music", but apart from that, it plays smoothly.
Even though this album's tracks are a bit of a mix, the sound quality on this pressing is really good. It's way better than the muffled, loud versions you find on streaming sites. As a Beach Boys fanatic, I'd say it's worth the $5 I spent.
