While I do prefer "The Smile Sessions" which is pretty much an incomplete album, this is still a really, really good album. The opening track "Wouldn't Be Nice" is just such a sweet sounding song, yet a sad song in terms of lyrics, making it feel so bittersweet. "Sloop John B" has been ruined by my parents, but it's still a great song, and "God Only Knows" is among the Beach Boys best songs. The rest is also great, and they all play off each other so well in terms of harmonies. I'm very happy this is the direction "The Beach Boys" took. Honestly, I don't know what else to say about it, but from what the Beach Boys did before, to this, is an unbelievable step forward, and it's sad to know about Brian Wilson's situation with "Smile". At the very least, "The Smile Sessions" came out in 2011, and it's honestly what I prefer, but they're both just sooo good.

Definition of gorgeous, yet not cheesy in the slightest. I don't know what else to say.

Best tracks - God Only Knows, That's Not Me, Wouldn't it Be Nice, and I Know There's An Answer.

And like that, every 1967 album had the same sound to it.
Brian Wilson is probably the only artist ever to create a new genre from scratch. Most genres just develop in time, but psychedelic music was invented.

I could name a dozen of genres and production techniques Brian Wilson had put in the album, but the greatest thing is that he never made it sound pretentious. He kept making music for the masses, for the normal person. Relatability and superficial enjoyment of the music were always central.

This is an amazing album. I loved this from first listen but then researching more about Brian Wilson made me love it and the beach boys so much more.

9.5/10

Top Tracks: "I'm Waiting for the Day", "God Only Knows", "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"

Well what is there left to say about Brian Wilson and his imagination an amazing album full of summertime music. You wake up on a sunny day play this album and the feeling lasts all day play it on a rainy day and it cheers u up. Every track is an experience I should know it took me 30 years to get into it !

Can't stop, won't stop listening to this masterful album! Changed the face of music on it's own. A++++++++++

Top Tracks: "I'm Waiting for the Day", "God Only Knows", "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times"

I can't make into words how unbelievable this album is, every song here is so filled with emotion, love, hate, sadness, happiness, It is a testament of our time. To think a band like Beach Boys drop a album like this is incredible, Brian Wilson took his genius songwriting here inspired by Beatles's Rubber Soul and made an album that surpases many Beatles masterpieces like "Revolver" and even "Sgt. Pepper" with was inspired by Pet Sounds. Few songs in history can deliver such emotion as "God Only Knows", 100/100 isn't enough to rate this song. I can only hope that Brian Wilson and Pet Sounds will have their place in the museums of art hundreds of years from now, side by side with The Beatles.
