Collapse of Smile
The collapse of Smile — the projected 12th studio album by American rock band the Beach Boys — is often reported as the pivotal episode in their decline, as well as the decline of their principal songwriter Brian Wilson. The album's cancellation has been attributed to several factors: internal resistance towards the project; legal battles with Capitol Records; the prolonged formation of Brother Records; technical difficulties with recording; Carl Wilson's draft battle; and Brian Wilson's escalating substance abuse, mental health issues, and creative dissatisfaction.
