He does a really great job with Smile. I really like that he takes a much more streamlined approach than the two "official" versions that have been released. He says, "First and foremost, I offer that SMiLE would have been a singular two-sided album of 12 pop-songs, just as Pet Sounds was; not three conceptual suites…

I also thought the general consensus was against the Hazards of Love, although I love it—super ambitious and moving and the ending makes me cry every time. I'm not sure I can say that about any other album.
