 * "The album also served as a riposte to the Beatles, who had recently overtaken the Four Seasons as the Beach Boys' chief rival act. It contained the band's most complex arrangements and refined vocal performances on a record to date, including the songs "Wendy", "Drive-In", "Don't Back Down", and a rendition of the Mystics' 1959 hit "Hushabye"." → "The album, which also served as a riposte to the Beatles, who had recently overtaken the Four Seasons as the Beach Boys' chief rival act, contained the band's most complex arrangements and refined vocal performances on a record to date.

 * "Biographer Mark Dillon states that the album generally projects "a whole season of teenaged good times" with the exception of "a couple of numbers" ("We'll Run Away" and "Wendy") "that threaten to kill the buzz."[26]" → "Biographer Mark Dillon states that the album generally projects "a whole season of teenaged good times" with the exception of "a couple of numbers that threaten to kill the buzz", listing "We'll Run Away" and "Wendy".[26]"
 * " ' "Girls on the Beach" is a ballad in a similar vein to Wilson's 1963 song "Surfer Girl" ' " link to Surfer Girl (song)
 * remove the possessive apostrophe for "the film featured scenes in which the Beach Boys' lip sync to this song, "Little Honda", and the Surfin' U.S.A. track "Lonely Sea".[16][49]"

 * That's all my prose comments. Realmaxxver (talk) 10:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Referencing and copyvio

 * Add page number for Larkin 2002 [78]
 * Not needed, but access dates could be added for [23], [46] and [43].
 * Consider shortening the quotes in the Content section, as the article has a 55% similarity with Little Deuce Coupe liner notes.

Images

 * Two images (The Beach Boys September 16 1967 Billboard.png and The Beach Boys (1965).png) are from Billboard magazine before 1978.
 * Sunset Boulevard image is someone's own work, Paradise Cove image is from flickr
 * Sullivan Beach Boys.jpg has good licensing, but a link to the actual trailer in the source parameter would help.
 * Putting on hold now. Realmaxxver (talk) 10:13, 21 May 2022 (UTC)

Overall

 * I'll address this once I have the time to do so. However, I already know I won't be able to supply a page number for the Larkin source simply because the Google preview does not show page numbers. ili (talk) 03:21, 24 May 2022 (UTC)
