Barefaced cheek or barenaked beauty?

It feels like an age since I reviewed Brian Wilson's new album At My Piano, but to be honest I'm still no nearer deciding what to make of it: cynical Christmas cash-in (despite the fact there's no 'Little Saint Nick') or proof of the lambent brilliance at the heart of some of the Beach Boys' classics (the stunning version of 'You Still Believe In Me' in particular)? Perhaps it's both.
