   SMiLE and GIOMH: What a difference!   
   09 Oct 04 08:04:39   
   
   From: spammandeggs@yahoo.com   
      
   SMiLE is so perfect, so beautifully performed and recorded, so clean, so   
   crisp, so precise, so perfectly executed.  GIOMH sounds dull and flat, like   
   a bunch of demos pulled from the 80's ;-)   
      
   Does it boggle the mind to think that the same guy did both these projects   
   in the same timeframe?  SMiLE has convinced me that Brian would do better in   
   the future not messing with the new formula - let the band sing with him!   
   Let Jeff take the high notes.  Let the Wondermints sing the harmonies.  And   
   keep Taylor around, too.   
      
   Do you wonder if GIOMH is more indicative of Brian today, and SMiLE is more   
   of a Wondermints project?   
      
   Nonetheless, what a great year for BW fans!
