Just after that conversation.....
Ugh. Had enough of Pet Sounds for the last week 
Overall, I've given the album a 80/100 rating. I don't think it's bad, it's actually quite a good album.
But not even near the best ever  . Heck, The Smile Sessions are better than it to be honest.

Paradise. I don't believe in God, but I must admit that the finale to "God Only Knows" has sometimes made me wonder. Heavenly.

Let us not forget our long lost Elston, with one of my favourite album review on here :
| Quote: | Wouldn’t It Be Nice is a prelude to an unfulfilling marriage built upon a shallow attraction ending in hasty divorce. After the tumultuous altercation, the man adopts a fervent belief in the afterlife and tries to convert his ex to no avail. He spends the rest of his life worrying about her soul, until in his 60’s he discovers Plato’s Ideal Form and confidently condemns her in his heart. He is soon investigated for viewing child porn but escapes with a warning. His ex receives a lifetime achievement award for her work as an architect.
You Still Believe in Me is a tender ode to a woman who remains in an abusive relationship for the money. The most trying injustice is surely his legion of coke whores, whom are flaunted shamelessly.
That’s Not Me details a young man who, while trying to make it on his own, discovers his identity is shaped by the eyes of those he loves: girlfriend, parents, windsurf teacher; he regresses back to his bubble and, over a burger and malt, complains of ’Frisco’s skyrocketing rent prices and hollow decadence.
In Don’t Talk (Put Your Head On My Shoulder) a self ordained mind reader uses his friends’ emotional confusion to effectively ‘make things weird’.
I’m Waiting For the Day documents the bourgeoisie sensitivity to menstrual blood. The man waits patiently for his lovers’ evil visitor to vanish, watching Meg Ryan movies with her, ordering Chinese food, preparing rejuvenating mineral baths & administering full body massages. But in the end they reason it’s nothing that won’t wash off in the shower and throw caution to the wind!
Sloop John B contains an account of the homoerotic adventures had by men at sea.
And in God Only Knows the man assures his wife of the dire suicidal consequences that would ensue if she left him.
Caroline No - she's become either a tranny or a lesbian. |

It's fun to listen to, but it has never really blown me away. However, I do love the part where "Listen, listen, liiiiiiiisten" is sung. Very good album.

strange that this album is the most acclaimed by music critics, i can't imagine it with a higher rating than 65/100 at least there's 1 5/5 song: Wouldn't it Be Nice.
