History Music / WildHoney

# "Heroes And Villains (Alternate Take)" (3:30)

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: June 2017 sees the release of ''Sunshine Tomorrow'', a 2-CD set containing the first-ever true stereo mix of the entire ''Wild Honey'' album as well as alternate takes, session highlights, and the first complete official release of the live album ''Lei'd in Hawaii''.

* NewSoundAlbum: A mixture of {{Pop}}, {{Soul}} and RAndB (with touches of PsychedelicRock).

Upon release, it was greeted with mixed to negative reviews, though "Wild Honey" still became a hit. However, it cannot be denied that this album has been VindicatedByHistory, mostly by critics in particular. In 2012, ''Magazine/RollingStone'' magazine ranked ''Wild Honey'' at number two on its "Coolest Summer Albums of All Time" list, praising its "hedonistic rock & roll spirit", "humour" and "pensive depth".

''Wild Honey'' is the thirteenth studio album by Music/TheBeachBoys, released in 1967. A Beach Boys album like no other before it (Especially ''Music/SmileySmile''), it can be credited as one of the first back-to-basics albums, coming after the psychedelic heights of earlier in the year.

* LyricalDissonance: "I'd Love Just Once to See You", which is a sweet song about rather mundane tasks at home (washing dishes, rinsing up the sink). The protagonist wonders when his woman helped him dry and baking a pie the last time. Then, this rather bizarre remark comes right out of ''nowhere'':

* {{Mondegreen}}: On "I Was Made to Love Her" it sounds a lot like the backing vocalists are singing "you son of a bitch, you love her!" over and over (it's actually "yes I was made to love her").

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: This album eschews the surf rock and lush psychedelia of yesteryear in favour of an uptempo R'n'B-based sound.

* {{Theremin}}: The title track uses the same Electro-Theremin that was [[CallBack featured on "Good Vibrations"]].

* AlbumFiller: "Mama Says", which is a rather mundane and preachy song about manners taught by your mother and only has two lines, which are repeated over and over again.
* CoverVersion: "I Was Made To Love Her", originally by Music/StevieWonder.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: "I'd Love Just Once To See You" (In the nude!).

* StepUpToTheMicrophone: Mike Love sings co-lead vocals on "Aren't You Glad", "A Thing Or Two" and "Let The Wind Blow". Brian Wilson sings lead vocals on "I'd Love Just Once To See You" and "Here Comes The Night". He also gets co-lead vocals on "Aren't You Glad", "A Thing Or Two" and "Let The Wind Blow".

* ThreeChordsAndTheTruth: This album reflected a back-to-basics approach after the downfall of ''Music/{{SMiLE}}''. It's been said that this album was [[TropeCodifier one of the first deliberate invocations of this trope by a major band]], before ''Music/BeggarsBanquet'' or ''Music/LetItBe''.
