   play that after "Gettin' In Over My Head".  Hate to say this, but "Love   
   You" is far superior despite its rough cut production.  "Gettin' In" is   
   nothing--NOTHING--original.  I do like "Desert Drive" because of its   
   "Finders Keepers" nostalgia.  The Carl number is also a stand-out.  But   
   you know there's a problem when three cuts from the rejected "Sweet   
   Insanity" are remade to fill out the album.  "Gettin' In Over My Head"   
   -- the tune -- is very PetSoundish, so I like it for that reason.  But   
   the rest of the album is a yawner.  I wanted it so bad to grab me, but   
   it didn't.  HEY-- does Brian do his own falsetto in "Desert Drive"??  If   
   so, he can still cook on those, which is a good thing.
