I doubt there's too many big fans of this album here, but to hell with it.
It's so fucking great... so sappy and all that... but so fucking great! One of the top 20, if not 10, best albums of all time! I'm not a huge Beach Boy fan, but this album really is a masterpiece, none of that surfer dude schtick. 2nd best album of '66, only The Beatles could top this mother fucker.
It's SOOO depressing, for me, anyway. Brian Wilson is such a musical genious, with an amazing voice. The lyrics are really sappy but touching. Tony Asher wrote them, not Brian. They're all about romance/breakup and whatnot, but who cares... What a fucking album! Beautiful!!!
It's the total opposite of IDM, but hey, this is a music site, so put it in your pipe and smoke it! Insert it into your ass and manouver in a pleasing sexual manner as desired! This album is great! And I wish pop music these days would be more like this.
Agreed?

I love that album too. A lot of people wouldn't touch the Beach Boys with a 10' bargepole but they did have some great records.
How do you know it was the 2nd best album of 1966? You were like -16 years old at the time.

Isn't he touring with a band at the moment...playing the whole PS album...
There was a bit article in, I think, The Observer about it last week by Phillip Norman (the guy did the beatle bio???)...the interviewer felt real sorry for BW as he's still got a lot of mental health problems & has a lot of trouble forming sentences etc.....
I can't say I've heard it in a long time so can't really comment...

I remember watching an A and E Biography about Brian. Showed all his problems, drug and mental. I never liked the Beach Boys, but there was some really great, beautiful song clips on there, so I got the album. Was so much better than I expected, and even better two years later.
That Brian was one messed up cat... too bad... more albums like this one would be great, poor guy.

''......too much sappy_pappy_fun music for me. sowie! ''
That's what I though, then I heard THIS album... it's amazing... I guess it can be pretty happy, but it depresses the HELL out of me.
Nothing else they did can touch this album, and it's light years ahead of Surfing USA and I Get Around and all that...

man, Eugene Landy fucked Brian right up, when he was at his most vulnerable Landy got hold of his mind and didnt give him it back for years.
Wilson is true genius, to produce such fantastic stereo work while being completley deaf in one ear is unbeleivable.
great man, he was meant to be a bit fucked at the jubilee yesterday, didnt see it, just sat behind his piano clapping while everyone sung Good Vibrations

out of like tens of thousands of records that Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) owns, Pet Sounds is his #1 favorite, and that to me says quite a bit.

Oh damn straight, you've gotta get this one! One of the must have albums, you're not a real music fan if you don't own it! It's scientifically proven.
I have it, and not just the MP3s! (amazingly). I have the double long CD with the stereo and mono versions of it.
