Thoughts: We all know the story of how long it took to reach our ears, so when it finally came to them, we immediately asked "Was it really worth the wait?" Considering I only had to wait fifteen of those thirty-seven years, I guess I can't really answer that, but I have to say, SMiLE is incredible. It's mesmerising how anyone could think of something so ambitious and grandiose as this album, but two guys put their heads together and this is what we got. It is an experience like nothing else and is most certainly worth it. Buy it. Now.
Rating: 10/10
