I picked up this album today. I was just browsing through a local recordstore, and noticed how it was available for half-price. And since it's one of those classic albums that seems to be mentioned in almost every music-review i've ever read... i felt my collection just needed this album ;-) I just can't stop listening to it! I'm not sure what it is about this music, but it's very intruiging and addictive as hell. I'm listening to it for the 10th time today or something, and it still feels like i'm hearing it for the first time. Every time i listen i hear something new in each of the songs... amazing. |

Brian Wilson is the reason for your addiction, bliss, and genius |

Pet Sounds is the best album ever made. Now... consider who's saying this! Consider that I'm saying it's better than any Beatles album. THAT'S some hardcore praise! |

i prefer smiley smile by miles. you should get that album too. :) |

paul mccartney does a 'gues appearance' on smiley smile. they sampled him crunching on a carrot! |
||||||||
|

It also sounds nothing like just 5 guys playing music :-p There are so many instruments! It sounds like an entire orchestra is playing these songs... and i bet they didn't have pro-tools back in '66 ;-) It really is a miracle they were able to create all this... so complex, so many layers... |
||||||||

thats the genius of Brian Wilson, deaf in one ear, leaning over the desk studying everything. and to think he's obsessed with Spector, imo he shits on him |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It's NOT 5 guys, in fact the band themselves played almost nothing. Everything was session musicians, and man, these songs had like a dozen session people on every track. Some immaculate production. Phil Spector and Brian Wilson really spared no expense on that one. And it was a commercial failure, ha... |

"i prefer smiley smile by miles. you should get that album too. :)" lol, posting on this board is really an expensive hobby! :-p Now i want that album too ;-) "they sampled him crunching on a carrot!" hehe... paul mccartney did exactly the same thing on the last Super Furry Animals album! Altough i think there he was eating selery instead of carrot ;-) |

"Now... consider who's saying this! Consider that I'm saying it's better than any Beatles album." What's a good beatles-album to start with? i don't have any of their albums yet, and i have no idea where to start... I read in the petsounds-liner notes that their album Rubber Soul inspired wilson to create this album... hm... i think i'll have to look for that one then. |

Rubber Soul Abbey Road White Album and you cant go wrong with the Anthologies, 2 and 3 are great |
||||||||
|

Downloading... |

yeah it's amazing - there is smiley smile as well whiich is the famous unfinished album he went mad wrikting - it's really good too - there are some tracks from it on endless summer as well .. i'm not into the beatles but the beach boys were really innovative at this period - endless sunshine and teenage angst |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Pfft, you're insane, I can't answer that! I guess Abbey Road, because... well, there is no because, I just randomly picked that one. Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, White Album, Abbey Road, Rubber Soul, Magical Mystery Tour, any of them. Magical Mystery Tour also gets a bad rap, it's bizarre... but any album with Strawberry Fields Forever and I am the Walrus must be amazing though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Rubber Soul Abbey Road White Album" thanks :-) I think i'll look for those first... the anthologies (lots of outtakes and different versions right?) sound fun, but i'd rather get to know their 'proper' albums first. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"the famous unfinished album he went mad wrikting" :-D Oh really? Now that sounds interesting! I had heard how he supposedly went mad after pet sounds... but i didn't know he was at the time working on another album... i'd love to hear that! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Good idea, save the Anthologies for last. If you want, pick up One to get a good primer, cheap and full of perfect pop. But just pop... doesn't tell the whole story. But nobody did pop like them. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nahh it's a matter of taste but the beatles sound unnatural and all their innovation seems to be just like wearing clothes - just fashion - they just wrap mediocre songs in good production and exotic instrumentation and editing |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He went crazy trying to top Sgt. Pepper, and the result is a REALLY creative album with some great moments, but I can't see how anybody could call it better than Pet Sounds except to just be a deviant. ;-) It's awesome though. Beatles vs Beach Boys, that resulted in the biggest surge of creativity ever, what a war. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Pfft, you're insane, I can't answer that!" Well i have to start somewhere...! You can't expect me to go out and buy all their albums at the same time ;-) Or let's put it another way: which was the first one you bought? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so "tomorrow never knows" is shite then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no did i say they were shit? no i didn't i don't get as much pleasure from it than loads of other music - also the lyrics are a joke - it's not as clever as everyone thinks it is too - loads of people were fucking about with tape ediits . the drums are great though |

Pet sounds??!? My cat woke me up when he was snoring!! Hehehehe :P |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

I bought Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road on an impulse one day after reading an article about the best albums of 1969 in Guitar World or somewhere. Then I spent my life savings on all their albums and had them all in a week or two. Crazy! That was the peak of my music listening 'career', been all downhill from there. |
||||||||

well the stuff you can get is unfinished and he 3was unhappy about it's release - he actually went mad cos he was taking a shit load of lsd - but there was some rivalry with the beatles it went pet sounds - sgt peppers then the smiley smile sessions - which weren't released for years and still haven't been released in their finished entirety -- ever heard silver apples btw - really lush late 60's pop band that used early synths and a really funky drummer |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lol, that's actually a pretty cool story. And buying all their albums within 2 weeks says something about the quality of the music too i think :-p I'll probably start with abbey road then... somewhere within the next couple of weeks. We'll see... good thing about the beatles and the beach boys is i don't have to search all over the place to find their albums :-p (unlike with most of the artists discussed on this board). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
wild honey is also pretty good, following on from smiley smile |

Just looked up Silver Apples on Allmusic, sounds really cool... thanks for the heads up. Surrounded: This magazine I had gave a page or two to every great album from 1969, but it gave Abbey Road like 7 pages, so I thought... ''damn, gotta check that out.'' I always thought the Beatles were a dumb pop band before then, naive little Zeppelin fan that I was then. But they looked too cool in the pictures and the article was kissing their asses like asses have never been kissed. Best Magazine Purchase Ever Yeah, get Abbey Road first, and maybe One to get a taste of the rest of their stuff... because I doubt you'll spend hundreds on them in 7 days like I did. ;-) |

silver apples, JivverDicker on this board always goes on and on about them.. i have to agree, they're great. |
||||||||

also check the album an electric storm by white noise for some realy sophisticated 60's electronic pop and of course the legendary joe meeks "i hear a n ew world" he was the first uk independedent pop producer and built all his own gear like aphex twin - mad music - white noise was david vorhaus and delia derbyshire from the groundbreaking bbc radiophonic workshop - they did the dr who music etc - really mental - quite druggy by mad as hell |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
isn't that some guy named fluid who did the dr. who music? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no - check this mate: http://www.deliaderbyshire.org/ worth remembering who the pioneers of popular electronic music are |
||||||||

thats a nice album. your hidden dreams is a gem, and here come the fleas is totally nuts! :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

SURROUNDED: you've GOT to get the "magical mystery tour" either the album or the EP..... just for The Fool on the Hill and Blue Jay Way...... amazing stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pet sounds is great. magical mystery tour is great. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Magical Mystery Tour is awesome !:) I love the beat change in the title song where it gets slow! Mmm! I heard that the firsttime Paul McCartney heard Pet Sounds, he cried. Awwww. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
dont even get me started on how completely ground-breaking this album is... thank brian wilson for inspiring john lennon and mccartney into their psych-pop period. a true masterpiece. NO modern artist in pop or rock has escaped its grasp of influence. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
are there others, beach boys albums i should check out given that i love pet sounds? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Heh, the Silver Apples are great, I just checked out their first two albums... Floyd did the Space Rock thing first but these guys sound just as good as the Barrett-era Floyd. And yeah, great drummer. Thanks for the heads-up. ''Formed in 1967 as an electronic rock duo featuring Dan Taylor on drums and Simeon on a homemade synthesizer consisting of 12 oscillators and an assortment of sound filters, telegraph keys, radio parts, lab gear and a variety of second hand electronic junk, the band quickly gained a reputation as New York's leading underground musical expression'' I'd like to get my hands on that synth. |

I prefer Smiley Smile by a long way - I love that album |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Beach Boys are superb. I love listening to them. So relaxing. Mixing them with other tracks is fun too. Everyone should do it. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Don't forget Sunny by Boney M. :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ive heard practically everything by them except pet sounds, when I was like 5-10 years old, the beach boys was all I listened to but I listened to their corny stuff not like this one since im aware this one is different; ill have to find this one sometime. |
