It's been 16 years since the last Beach Boys album (not counting The Smile Sessions, which finally saw the light of day a year ago), but if you're looking for happy tunes like Good Vibrations, this isn't for you.

CD review: 'That's Why God Made The Radio'

The title track, written by Brian Wilson over a decade and a half ago, shares space with new material like Isn’t It Time and Shelter. On the dark Strange World, he gives us a glimpse into his private hell: ‘On Santa Monica city pier, we watch the people who gather here, the uninvited who’ve lost their way, and now we’re all here to stay.’ The album resonates far beyond its 40-minute mark, testament to the fact that the Boys still have a bit of magic left in them.
