''Friends'' is the fourteenth studio album by Music/TheBeachBoys, released in 1968. With a [[NewSoundAlbum mellow, laid back approach]] not unlike ''Music/SmileySmile'' (But at the same time completely different), it received generally positive reviews upon release, even if was not a success in the US.
It is also their first album to feature songs written by Music/DennisWilson (Which are "Little Bird" and "Be Still"), who would quickly prove to be a major song-writing talent within the band.

'''''Friends''''' is the fourteenth studio album by Music/TheBeachBoys, released in 1968. With a [[NewSoundAlbum mellow, laid back approach]] not unlike Music/SmileySmile (But at the same time completely different), it received generally positive reviews upon release, even if was not a success in the US.
It is also their first album to feature songs written by Dennis Wilson (Which are "Little Bird" and "Be Still"), who would quickly prove to be a major songwriting talent within the band.
