On their first album after Brian Wilson stopped touring with the group, The Beach Boys made a clean break with their fun-in-the-sun past. The mature, questioning first single, "When I Grow Up (To Be a Man)," sets Today!'s emotional tone, but it's the lovely string of ballads that showcase Wilson's ever-increasing melodic strength and self-confidence: "Please Let Me Wonder" and "She Knows Me Too Well" are among his finest songs. Elsewhere, the jubilant "Dance, Dance, Dance" proves that the innocent fun hadn't stopped.
