Brian Wilson - I Just Wasn't Made for These Times Reviews

---

Exceptional New Performances of old songs
This a fine video document. Special for me because he re-records and performs one of my favoites "And When I Die" which would have fit so well on Smile to me. But obviously - not its correct place. The soundtrack cd is great and this is just another fine piece the second coming of Brian Wilson

not what i was expecting
okay, here we go. i just got this and watched it for the first time last night and unfortunately, i was terribly unimpressed and bored throughout most of it. i love brian wilson and can't praise his music enough but as most fanatics can tell you, his music and voice are no longer what they used to be. so much of this documentary contains recent footage of brain sitting at a piano playing old songs like wonderul, the warmth of the sun, etc. and although that sounds good, it is almost unbearable watching him struggle through each one, often completely missing notes. my theory is this: when the director approached him for commentary, brian insisted they use footage of him now, playing his old hits and that they also include many scenes of his odd female companion who mostly stares in glowing admiration(sometimes at brian, sometimes just off into space.) there is even a number with carnie(pre-stapling)and wendy, singing backup. i ordered this based on customer reviews and looking at them now, i can't believe more people don't feel the same way i do. anyway, i would recomend this for rental, but please don't make the same mistake i did and spend your hard earned money on it. you will be dissapointed.
