Comments:
On "Surf's Up" Brian's contribution is even smaller then on the previous "Sunflower"; only three out of ten songs are his. Fortunately two of them are very good, especially the title track "Surf's Up", which is actually a song from the never released "Smile" project.
Another fine song is "Don`t Go Near the Water" written by Jardine and Love. The pollution/environment theme may sound a little naive, though these problems are even more serious today than when these songs were written; so in that sense you could say that Beach Boys were ahead of their time with this album.
