Still Cruisin'
Still Cruisin' is the 26th studio album by The Beach Boys, their thirty-fifth official album (counting compilations and live packages), and their last release of the 1980s. It is also the last album of new material released during a brief return to Capitol Records. Released August 28, 1989, the album was panned by critics, with Allmusic referring to the band's sound by producer Terry Melcher as sounding "like a professional '60s cover band." Still Cruisin' was left out of Capitol's Beach Boys re-issue campaign in 2000 and 2001, and is currently out of print along with their album Summer in Paradise. -WIKIPEDIA

1989 - If you’ve been waiting for the Beach Boys to hit rock bottom, the suspense is over.

ALL MUSIC
The Beach Boys' success with soundtracks, notably their number one 1988 hit with "Kokomo" from Cocktail (but also the title track "Still Cruisin'" from Lethal Weapon 2), provided the rationale for this hodgepodge of oldies and one-off singles

2017 - “Kokomo”. It’s the best song on the album. This is all you need to know about this album. Do not listen to this album.

2008 - Still Cruisin’ is an album that is not exactly terrible, but is forgettable and certainly not essential.

Adrian Denning
Brian Wilson played no part in the putting together of this strange hodge-potch of an album, by the way. He'd officially left the group for good by this stage. That didn't stop them trying to place a bunch of one-off songs onto movie soundtracks, however.

Mark Prindle
2013 - More slow adult contemporary pop with stiff tinny 80s production - no bass! Terry Melcher? What happened to his wonderful ear for Paul Revere And The Raiders? Now he's just some tootsweet trying to make the Beach Boys sound like Peter Cetera.

Head of State- Andrew Hickey
2015 - And sadly, this was not the worst they would do. There was still a further depth to which they would sink…
