About this album
Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band The Beach Boys, released May 16, 1966, on Capitol Records. It has been widely ranked as one of the most influential records ever released in western pop music and has been ranked at number #1 in several music magazines’ lists of greatest albums of all time, including New Musical Express, The Times and Mojo Magazine.[1][2][3] In 2003, it was ranked #2 in Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list.[4] According to Acclaimedmusic.net, Pet Sounds is the most acclaimed album of all time by music journalists.[5]
Pet Sounds was created several months after Brian Wilson had quit touring with the band in order to focus his attention on writing and recording.[6] In it, he wove elaborate layers of vocal harmonies, coupled with sound effects and unconventional instruments such as bicycle bells, buzzing organs, harpsichords, flutes, the Electro-Theremin, and dog whistles, along with the more usual keyboards and guitars

Yeah, there's a reason we don't make mono recordings any more. Stereo has a much wider and more natural sound stage that gives you are more "live" sound than mono's comparatively harsh and squashed sound. And the stereo remix of this album is extremely well done as well.

this album is very good until you took a closer look on the compositions. then it becomes mindblowing, the compositions are literally super-human. Nothing comes close.

'Good Vibrations' would've totally fucked up the flow of the album.

@Lajon_: I know what you''re talking about. I never understood it until I fell in love for the first time. Then all of a sudden I knew exactly what Brian was saying with this music. It changed my life, and is now the most important piece of music I know.
