I actually kinda like the disco-fied Here Comes the Night. Great Carl vocal, and it does have a nice groove.

Just think if the band disbanded after Love You. One listenable nostalgia album and then a bizarre masterpiece and then finito. The Beach Boys legacy has been rehabilitated just fine over the years, but subtracting post-77 material would have done a lot to improve an argument that they were great from beginning to end.
Holy crap but that's awful. It hearkens back to the bad old days of lifeless white cover versions in the 50s that kept black artists off the radio.
