10,000 Years ago features a banging breakbeat underneath a scorching electric guitar solo and a sing-song rap from Mike about surfing Lemurians

Too Cruel is a Dave Mathews-style "funky" acoustic guitar number featuring Mike's son Christian Love on lead vocals, which goes into a sad reggae sort of rhythm on the choruses. Lyrics detail Mike's frustration with Murry Wilson's business practices.

first track delivers the expected mix of shitty 90s "funk" drum loops, pathetically limited vocals, terrible instrumentation, and dopey lyrics
I was going to try to summarize this track but you did it so well!

Cool Head, Warm Heart - sounds like scrapped session material from Summer in Paradise (which I actually kind of like.... :X). I bet Mike thought this was a real jam when he was recording it.
Anything for You - I thought Mike Love hated Love You?
Pisces Brothers - Barf. Happy birthhhhhhhhh-days back in time. Rewrite lyrics. Then he sings about the maharishi....okay, skipping the rest of this one
Everyone's in Love with You - coming from Mike Love, this is a gross title because you know he's singing about some chick who's 1/3 his age. Atrocious synths and surprisingly low key. Get Mike a cup of coffee.
10000 Years Ago - Mike Love does Funkadelic. Or is it Savage Garden? "Ohm, shantih shantih" - WTF.
Glow Crescent Glow - zzzzzzzzzz
Too Cruel - more anachronistic '90s drum loops and reggae sounds though quite a decent groove as it is sung by his son. Fun fact: Christian Love wears a hat too: http://www.dahoovsplace.com/Events/Concerts/BeachBoys/ChristianLoveGuitarist7.jpg
Brian's Back - not any more he's not
I Don't Wanna Know - sounds kind of like Fastball, or Carl Wilson. It sounds like they picked up their backup instruments at a church that went out of business.
Love Foundation - terrible lukewarm pap
Only One World - this would be impressive if it had been written by a nine-year-old
Main takeaway: Christian Love is kind of a good singer?
