Music reviews of Pet Sounds
Music Review: FLUFF!?
Rating: 5 Stars
To the reviewer "mrkite": To say that all the songs besides "Wouldn't It Be Nice" and "God Only Knows" on Pet Sounds are fluff is rediculous. This album is amazing. Sgt. Pepper's is great and all, but it sure as hell doesn't make me feel the way Pet Sounds does. You should really evaluate the way you listen to music. The way Brian Wilson got those sounds amazes me. He Really is a genius, and if people can't see why, then God help us all. Also, people should really stop comparing The Beatles and The Beach Boys. They made Rock and Roll music. That's about all they have in common. They're totally different to me. But back to Pet Sounds. As soon as you put it on, you're launched into another galaxy when you hear that deliberately out of tune 12-string guitar riff to kick-off "Wouldn't It Be Nice". And every other track is just another stop to another planet in that galaxy, until your landing (unfortunately) is welcomed by those dogs barking and that earthshaking train whistle. Oh yes.. It is quite the album. My personal favorite of all time.
Description of Pet Sounds
If you need some pointy-headed pundit to sell you on the merits of Pet Sounds, your money might be better spent on an ear specialist. Brian Wilson's gift to 20th-century music elevated this pop album into a beguiling musical and emotional cogency that still operates outside pop culture's fickle space-time continuum--and limited critical lexicon. There's never been another record to compare (Rubber Soul, its inspiration, is close; Sgt. Pepper's, its response, misses the point), and certainly no album has been as dissected, overanalyzed, and predigested for public consumption. In 1997 Capitol Records devoted an entire four-disc box set, The Pet Sounds Sessions, to its thorough deconstruction. The techno-marvel centerpiece of that project--the album's first true stereo mix, painstakingly conjured out of multitape session sources by producer-engineer Mark Linett (under Wilson's supervision)--was at once heresy and revelation. Now the label has gratifyingly seen fit to offer both mixes on a single disc (along with alternate versions of "Hang On to Your Ego," the original title of "I Know There's An Answer"), an idea that should please the orthodox and heretics alike. And while the album has always clearly been The Brian Wilson Show featuring the Beach Boys, biographer Brad Elliott's concise new notes attempt to be more inclusive of a wider band perspective. The result (three of the five band members claim credit for the album title) sometimes resembles Rashomon. If Pet Sounds forever crystallized the band's various creative (in)differences, it also became Wilson's grand karmic joke on his band mates; its burgeoning reputation (Mojo magazine's panel of pop experts once elected it greatest album of all time) guaranteed they would sing its songs--and praises--until the end. And if putting two different versions of the same album on one disc seems like overkill, look at the bright side: it's a perfect excuse to listen to the glorious Pet Sounds twice.- Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
