It is difficult to undo what came before. And if one has to redo it, may as well haul out the big guns and go straight for the gut. It will undoubtedly be noted by the majority, though, that The Complete Pet Soul really isn't a rip at the influences, but a tribute. This song is utterly breathtaking. No, I can't describe it, just go and find it and have a listen.
Splitsville are a good, tight band.
Wow, can they ever sing, and hit those harmonies on the head every single time. It's a really good, very clever record by some guys who can really play and sing well. My summation is that it's money well spent for any fan of the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Byrds and and just generally for fans from the large backlog of influence we have to draw from during the early to mid '60s. Splitsville are back and they sound great.
