Surf's Up is the 17th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released in 1971. It was met with a warm critical reception and reached number 29 on the US record charts, becoming their highest-charting LP of new music in the US since 1967. In the UK, Surf's Up peaked at number 15, continuing a string of top 40 records that had not abated since 1965.

A diamond necklace played the pawn Hand in hand some drummed along, oh To a handsome man and baton (Bygone, bygone) A blind class aristocracy Back through the opera glass you see The pit and the pendulum drawn (Bygone, bygone) Columnated ruins domino.

Surf's Up was released that August to more public anticipation than the Beach Boys had had for several years. It outperformed Sunflower commercially, reaching 29 in the US charts, becoming their best selling album in years. It was their first Top 40 album since Wild Honey, and in the UK it peaked at 15. Like Sunflower, Surf's Up was released on EMI's Stateside label internationally. It was met with warm critical reception compounded by some FM radio exposure. Rolling Stone wrote: "the Beach Boys stage a remarkable comeback.

Surf's Up could well be the definitive example, beginning with the cloying "Don't Go Near the Water" and ending a bare half-hour later with the baroque majesty of the title track (originally written in 1966). Wrapped up in a mess of contradictions, Surf's Up defined the Beach Boys' tumultuous career better than any other album.

Surf's Up is found on the album Good Vibrations: Thirty Years of the Beach Boys.

Surf's Up. A surfing analogy - but this song has nothing to do with surfing. It's about the collapse of everything.

It’s deep, haunting, complex, and beautiful; it doesn’t sound like anything else in pop or rock music. Definitely the title track. It’s deep, haunting, complex, and beautiful; it doesn’t sound like anything else in pop or rock music. 9 views · View 1 Upvoter.

Talk about The Beach Boys - Surf's Up


Gosar
It sounds great, but I personally find the vinyl a little bit noisy, compared to the normal Capitol-era reissues. It sounds amazing nevertheless. BB's in stereo can be glorious, and this album defines that. Surf's Up is a perfect counterpart to Pet Sounds, and I highly recommend buying this album with Pet Sounds, if you love the slow, melancholic ballads from it. Also, if you're a big fan of Carl's voice (Brian sings the title track better than Carl IMHO).
Whatever
This pressing sounds very warm and true to the original I own. Unlike my original which is pressed on flimsy 120 gram (guess) vinyl this is pressed on sturdy 200g vinyl. I highly recommend this!
