An appropriate swan song. There are some mediocre songs and some great ones. All have the amazing harmonies and no one can listen to the album and wonder who is singing. Brian still has the genius and, "From There To Back Again," is sweet, nostalgic and one of the best Beach Boy's songs ever. Mike Love's vocals are essential to the album and he come through in great style. I have been listening to this album non-stop. You should too.

The beautiful and unbelievably still youthful sounding melodies that made the Beach Boys so popular (along with great songs) are all in evidence here. Listening to the CD takes one back to days of innocence, having a good time, and the pure joy of pop music in the California vein. Yes, the boys are much older and wiser than years ago these days, but if not for that this CD would probably not have come to fruition. When the chorus of the title track rings in, you know who is singing, and better yet, still realize the simple wonder of the power of music to elevate the spirit to a place where no other art form can take it.

Best Beach Boys album since the sixties without a doubt. The harmonies are just wonderful. You wouldn't think 70 year old guys could come up with something like this, but they did. My question is if they were able to come up with something like this now,what happened for the past 40 years??? The answer is they went back to their roots. The early Boys were all about harmonies and at some point after Pet Sounds they got went off in some odd directions with their music and kind of lost their base. Certainly the late Carl and Dennis Wilson are missed, but having Mike Love and Brian Wilson together again is great.

As a life-long Beach Boy fan I was skeptical about this album. I'm delighted to say the album did not disappoint. The lyrics, music and voices are the true Beach Boy sound. Buy this album!

Great album. Yes, a few songs are mediocre, but who cares, it's The Beach Boys back once again. I listen to it over and over.

Plans for the Beach Boys' 50th anniversary tour came together surprisingly quickly, but nothing prepared fans for a full studio album just six months after their official reunion. With Brian Wilson in the producer's booth and providing frequently gorgeous charts, and with 12 original songs benefiting from just a little outside help in fleshing them out, That's Why God Made the Radio is as good as it gets for those who love their Beach Boys. The album features two distinct halves, the first mostly upbeat and the second more reflective. These may not be the songs lighting up their live sets, but together they form what is easily the best Beach Boys record in 35 years -- and a ...
