Surf's Up is the 17th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys, released in 1971. It was met with a warm critical reception and reached number 29 on the US record charts, becoming their highest-charting LP of new music in the US since 1967. In the UK, Surf's Up peaked at number 15, continuing a string of top 40 records that had not abated since 1965.

Surf's Up's cover art says all that needs to be said about the mood: painted in mournful blues and greens, a Don Quixote-like figure slouches heavily on an emaciated horse.

In 1970, The Beach Boys made Sunflower, one of the greatest sunshine pop albums ever. In 1971, they recorded its successor that could be described as soundtrack of their current lives. It's NOT sequel to 1963 Surfin' USA, it's not sequel to Sunflower either. Sunflower is sunny, sweet and positive, Surf's Up is dark and suspicious. Those two albums can be found on the same CD but it's easy to feel the difference. Sunflower was a team work. There are no love songs on Surf's Up. The Beach Boys album with no love songs" OK, Disney Girls - really nice nostalgic effort by Bruce Johnston about time when everything was better than now, Sinatra-styled evocative ballad with great vocal harmonies. Their vocal arrangements are not on par with their past glories, except 'Til I Die, Disney Girls and title track, long lost Smile song.

The Beach Boys released 'Surf's Up' in August 1971. Listen to the Beach Boys' 'Surf's Up'. Rieley's push for Beach Boys songs inspired by current events produced mixed results. It wasn't the Beach Boys' most consistent effort, but unlike Sunflower, Surf's Up arrived at the right moment to find a receptive audience. The album peaked at No. 29, the band's highest showing in years, and hinted at brighter days to come from a group already stuck between its storied past and an uncertain future. This comeback proved fleeting, but there'd be others after it - and more painful setbacks between. Beach Boys Albums Ranked. Next: Top 10 Beach Boys Songs. Filed Under: Beach Boys.
