Innovative and creative, this album has stood the test of time. However, I feel it can be quite monotonous and tedious at times.

Nice and melodic like a Beach Boys album should be, and psychedelic influences are clear. Very likeable.

On Pet Sounds, Brian Wilson changed the direction of popular music and sowed the seeds of hundreds of imitators to emerge across several genres.

Astonishing accomplishment, towering acheivement, etc, it's all true. In 1966 and now. The sound of Brian Wilson creating a new kind of music. Dense, lovely, moving.

Massively overrated album. I recognise it's importance and influence however.

Hard to take this one seriously at first, to be honest... not because of the Material, but because it was the Beach Boys. I now understand how awesome Brian is though... and applaud them for being versatile - a party band and a best ever album band.

This album may sound overrated to today's listeners but there is no understating how influential this album was back in the day. Pet Sounds basically invented the full length album and took rock and pop music in a new direction.

I can understand why the album is so influential, but influential isn't what I'm looming for in an album.

Nothing new to say about this album. It's a masterpiece in every sense of the world.
