* {{Instrumental}}: "The Nearest Faraway Place", an lush piece with Bruce Johnston on keyboards fronting an ensemble that includes strings and even a harp, which still fits the Beach Boys parameters by having a bit of a "romantic walk on a secluded beach" vibe (though it also maybe veers kind of close to sounding like a SoapOpera theme song).

Sadly the album is a bit OvershadowedByControversy, due to the fact that notorious criminal UsefulNotes/CharlesManson wrote most of "Never Learn Not to Love". Had this album been released after the Tate/[=LaBianca=] murders, that song would most likely never be released.

* {{Instrumental}}: "The Nearest Faraway Place".

* ExtremeDoormat: "Never Learn Not To Love"

** "Be With Me" and "All I Want To Do" (both Dennis compositions) and "The Nearest Faraway Place" (a Bruce Johnston composition)

** "Our Prayer" and "Cabinessence" (From the unreleased "Smile"), "Time To Get Alone" (a Wild Honey outtake) and "I Went To Sleep" (a Friends outtake). In the case of "Cabinessence", Carl's vocal was newly recorded for this LP though all others were virtually the same.

Upon release, this album was critically well-received, although it was criticised for lack of cohesion in the track listing due to the strong GenreRoulette. Commercially, the album was a much bigger success than ''Music/{{Friends}}'' in both the UK and US, and would spawn the hits and fan favorites "Do It Again", "I Can Hear Music", "Cottonfields", and "Bluebirds Over The Mountain". The album also features important out-takes from ''Music/{{SMiLE}}''.

''20/20'' is the fifteenth studio album by Music/TheBeachBoys, released in 1969. It is their final studio album released with Capitol Records until ''Still Cruisin''' in 1989. This album is not only a showcase for the growing song-writing talents of Music/DennisWilson, but it also features their first Bruce Johnston composition with the band.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: The fade-out to "All I Want To Do" contains the sounds of a woman [[TheImmodestOrgasm in the throes of passion]] buried deep in the mix.

* WordSaladLyrics: "Cabinessence", which retained the famously dense, [[Creator/JamesJoyce Joycean]] lyrics that characterized the work of Van Dyke Parks on the ''Smile'' project, including the lines that led to the infamous confrontation between Mike Love and Parks.

* MadArtist: UsefulNotes/CharlesManson: cult leader, serial murder, political insurgent, and writer of the Beach Boys' song "[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Never_Learn_Not_to_Love Never Learn Not To Love.]]" The band was rattled when Manson threatened to murder Dennis Wilson for changing a line in the song's lyrics, and even more so when evidence of Manson's gruesome crimes later came to light.
