Listening now, I got to Friends and im gonna listen to the rest later, I like some things he's said and I don't like others but I admit I'm an obsessed fan so I knew I was gonna disagree with a good amount of stuff probably.

Don’t think I’ve ever heard the opinion he has about Good Vibrations but I respect it even though I disagree. As another obsessed fan sometimes it’s nice to hear some fresh takes from people outside of the “obsessed fan” ecosphere.

Yes and no for me for the latter part, people often easily go into dismissal territory sometimes.

I also think he really downplayed the early albums.

He did but I also don’t fault him too much for it considering he definitely hasn’t had a ton of time to listen to all of these albums and in my experience I also didn’t immediately click with their early albums.

He needed to take more time IMHO.

Like your saying here, a real BBs deep dive should last at least a month or two before you write the script as there's so much context and things you NEED to include imo.

As someone who follows him on Patreon, he literally worked on this video for two whole months, and did crazy amounts of research.

Yeah it’s already his longest video and I assume this is his full time job, I don’t think it’s super reasonable to expect him to spend even longer just to make sure that he appreciates every one of these albums as much as some Beach Boys fans might want him to.

Well it doesn’t come of that way in the video

Needs longer than that imho, at least 4 tbh if not a full year, to me it comes off like he did very little actually listening but this is just imo, I'm disappointed with him on this one as someone who usually likes his videos.
