Album Notes & Community Reviews

Literally shipping their entire studio operation to the Netherlands, The Beach Boys produced a beautifully eccentric, deeply progressive pop-rock suite. 'Holland' balances wonderfully warm, incredibly lush California vocal harmonies with highly melodic, subtly psychedelic Americana, featuring Carl Wilson's stunning 'The Trader' and the ambitious 'California Saga'.
