Digital Booklet

"Exquisite beauty nestles alongside stuff that's wildly misjudged, painful honesty alongside the constant burnishing of a myth about youth and sunshine and a California that everyone stopped believing years ago, the whole thing wrapped in stories of non-existent fraternity, harmony and good vibrations: it's the Beach Boys in a nutshell. Perhaps without realising it, That's Why God Made the Radio tells you almost everything you need to know about America's Favourite Band."
- Alexis Petridis, The Guardian
"thanks to Wilson's return, it's also an ambitious statement – perhaps a final one – on a legacy that's as much defined by confusion and creative cul-de-sacs as by Pet Sounds."
- Will Hermes, Rolling Stone
Conceived as a 50th anniversary album, That's Why God Made The Radio was an unexpected return for The Beach Boys and while the infamous creative disagreements between Mike Love and Brian Wilson were put aside for the making of this record, two sides of The Beach Boys are rendered clear with straight ahead happy-go-lucky surf rock tunes like Isn't it Time and Spring Vacation standing in stark contrast with the dark and atmospheric Pacific Coast Highway and Summer's Gone.0
