Does anyone else think most of the later Beach Boys songs are really drawn-out?

I've been making my way through the Beach Boys' discography (16 albums in, admittedly with a big blindspot of most of their late 60s/early 70s stuff) and one of the things I've noticed is that all of their later songs are too long. I don't have a problem with song length inherently--I listen to Lana Del Rey, after all--but it seems like a lot of later Beach Boys songs stagnate early and overstay their welcome. My best example of this is Somewhere Near Japan: it starts out so strong but ends up not really developing or doing anything new once the basic melodies and production have been established. Because of this I rarely ever listen to the full 5 minutes.

Compare this to their early track Surfer Girl. It passes by so quickly, but to the song's benefit. It has a concept, it goes with it as far as it'll go, and it ends. I Get Around also is only a little over two minutes but does so much in that time, more than most of the stuff on Love You or 1985. I much prefer listening to a song over again rather than tapping out early.

I'm assuming a big component of this was songs becoming longer overall, but it's to the band's detriment. They have some songs that are long compared to their early stuff that still work (Surf's Up obviously, Disney Girls) and some early songs that don't justify their incredibly short length (Denny's Drums, Boogie Woodie), but on the whole the inverse seems to be the pattern. I still enjoy a lot of late period Beach Boys but this is a glaring issue for me.

This isn't something I see brought up often but surely I can't be alone on this.
