Everybody gets really pissed off when I say this and it causes World War III on Twitter, but what the hell. Everything said about Pet Sounds is true. For three songs. Wouldn't it be nice. Sloop John B. God Only Knows. Those three are amazing. Which is the pattern of all of the Beach Boys' albums when they are not including previously released tracks. The difference is these three songs are historic productions creatively, which had the wonderful unexpected result of pushing the Beatles to their greatest work. And that is obviously something the world can be grateful for. But all due respect to the masses that worship it, the rest of the album doesn't do a thing for me. There is no Beatles, Stones, Byrds, Kinks, or Who album that track for track doesn't have more great songs on it. It's not a close call. Having said that, the best thing about Art in general is it is the gift that keeps on giving, because one's perception of it changes from time to time. So maybe five years from now I will finally get it. Like everybody else.
