I didn't say they were stylistically similar, just idealistically similar.

I agree that the subtle greatness of the album is in Wilson's production and arrangement. This album is way better than many people today give it credit for. That guy running the Pitchfork site blatantly disrespected the album and gave it like 7.4 or something. The idiots in this world...
Yeah according to them it "just wasn't made for these times" then they turn around and hype artists like M. Ward who do nothing but rip off 60s folk artists and make the most unoriginal music ever. The irony eh?
