When "Pet Sounds" came out, it was competing against The Beatles' "Sgt Pepper", or at least that's how Brian Wilson seemed to see it. He started recording songs for the album as soon as he heard the Beatles' "Revolver", clearly feeling he had some inner sense of perfection to aim for in order ... Read review

A Pet album of mine
Review of Pet Sounds Sessions, The - Beach Boys (The) by rsmith

Advantages: A classic album - the best ever?
Disadvantages: None at all

...- I just feel that Pet Sounds is a better album than any Beatles album… it's stood the test of time better, and it's somehow more complete, and, yes, perfect. Incidentally, I read somewhere that "God only Knows" is supposed to be Paul McCartney's favourite pop song. So the respect is mutual. The album cover is slightly strange - the band members feeding goats at San Diego Zoo seems quite mundane, lighthearted even, especially in view of the perfect ...
...Brian Wilson played the songs from Pet Sounds, with an orchestra and backing band The Wondermints (whose albums are well worth a listen if you like the Beach Boys. Their song "Tracey Hide" would sit extremely well on "Pet Sounds"). I would have loved to have been there. ... Read review

This is heaven's music
Review of Pet Sounds Sessions, The - Beach Boys (The) by gailmill

Advantages: It's got soul, depth, wonderful melody, meaningful lyrics.
Disadvantages: NONE AT ALL!

.... *Everyone* has heard of Pet Sounds ..... haven't they? This is my favourite Beach Boys album and my all time favourite album. It contains some of the Beach Boys hits, such as Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B and God Only Knows .... one of my favourite *singles* of all time! .... as well as lesser known tracks which still scream quailty from every pore (if music can have pores :-0) The songs on this album have real depth .. by that I mean layered ...
...listen to Pet Sounds loud on headphones you hear things you have never heard before. You can always find something new. This music stirs emotions, elates you, it is loving music. Many people think that Brain Wilson is a genius - Well I wouldn't like to say, but his (and the rest of the boys') music has had a profound influence on my life and although some of the early Beach Boys music would sound out of place these days, Pet Sounds sounds as fresh ...

The greatest album of the 60's
Review of Pet Sounds Sessions, The - Beach Boys (The) by darrenwilliams99

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...a lot of songs from pet sounds but hadnt heard them all together as a "piece". On there own, songs like "wouldnt it be nice" and "sloop john b"are really great songs, but they become a lot more when listened to in there "natural surroundings". The album covers every range of emotion, really "up" happy songs and real yearning melancholic songs like my personal favourite "caroline no". Dont judge the beach boys as a surf band, listen to thi salbum ... Read review
