Smiley Smile or Smile?

I listened to Smiley Smile for the first time yesterday and it's nowhere near as terrible as I've heard/read it was.
Most of the album & the bonus tracks were alot better than most of Wild Honey (on the same cd)

From what I remember, the songs I heard from Brian Wilson's recording of Smile just seemed like a total anti-climax.

Are the Smile session recordings on the Good Vibrations box better than the parts/songs used on Smiley Smile?
