Análisis (en inglés) - :
The linchpin of {$the Beach Boys}, {$Carl Wilson} not only voiced some of the group's most transcendent songs but was the lone member keeping various factions of the band together in the '70s, after brothers {$Brian} and {$Dennis} became erratic forces in {$the Beach Boys}' fortunes. {^I Can Hear Music}, a 2002 collection from Japanese {@Capitol}, is the first disc to include only songs with lead vocals from {$Carl}, and shows fans a portion of {$the Beach Boys}' persona -- delicate, indecisive, continually swept away by the power of music and love -- they may not have realized was so strongly a function of {$Carl} himself. Beginning with the title song, taken from 1969's {^20/20}, {$Wilson} is revealed as the old soul of the group, a force that balanced the good-time fun of {$Mike Love} with the adolescent yearning of {$Brian Wilson}, with elements of the former ({&"Good Vibrations"}) and the latter ({&"Girl Don't Tell Me"}). He was spiritual but never goofy, emotive but never hokey (a weakness both {$Brian Wilson} and {$Bruce Johnston} occasionally surrendered to), and the only member of the band with soul. His performances on {&"Long Promised Road"} and {&"God Only Knows,"} to spotlight only two, didn't make the songs hits upon release, but allowed them a long shelf life that, decades later, made them more familiar for fans than {$Beach Boys} hits of the surf-and-sun years. Along with {$Dennis} and {$Brian}, he created beautifully wracked {\ballads} during the '70s; songs like {&"The Night Was So Young"} and {&"I'll Bet He's Nice"} that showed {$the Beach Boys} aging very ungracefully, but honestly. Granted, the collected best performances of any individual {$Beach Boy} would be an enlightening listen, but the power of {$Carl}'s artistic persona makes this one special. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
