"Fifty Sides of the Beach Boys does what all great rock books do:
it makes you dive back into your collection to re-examine songs you
haven't thought about in decades." -- Montreal Gazette
"Fifty Sides of The Beach Boys: The Songs That Tell Their Story is
essential beach reading for fans of our greatest champions of surf
and sand." -- Psychobabble
"[Mark Dillon] tells the Beach Boys' long, complex and fascinating
history through their long, complex and fascinating songbook ...
It's all there; Dillon doesn't cut corners. He doesn't just shower
praise on Brian Wilson and leave it at that. And he doesn't pretend
that, for lengthy stretches, the Beach Boys weren't ultra passe."
-- PopMatters
"[W]ell-written and relevant to today's music scene, young and old
fans alike will enjoy Dillon's collection as the band commences its
50th Anniversary Tour this summer." -- Publishers Weekly
