Reviews"...Brian Wilson's evolutionary compositional masterpiece....This trenchant cycle of love songs has the emotional impact of a shatteringly evocative novel...", 5 Stars (out of 5) - "...A new stereo mix of PET SOUNDS...gives the songs a fantastic clarity, in effect smashing through the Wall Of Sound to bring up instrumental parts that have hitherto been hard to pick out...", Included in Q's "The Best Male Angst Albums Of All Time" - "...12 impossibly lush songs that replace The Beach Boys' earlier high school ramalama with the unease and inner hurly-burly of early adulthood...", "...A commercial washout at the time of its release, the album has since grown in reputation to the point where pop aesthetes speak of it in hushed tones as the zenith of Brian Wilson's genius, a seamless masterwork that rewards deep, repeated listening....a wonderful collection of songs..." - Rating: A+, 5 Stars - Excellent - "...the music on PET SOUNDS flows as one...clearly demonstrates that the Beach Boys were capable of giving music lovers something they could feel very, very good about...", "You may have heard of this promising combo. Here's one of their earlier albums, and word is it's quite good. The neat wrinkle is that you get the album twice, once in original mono and once in that new-fangled stereo everyone's talking about...", 5 Stars - Excellent - "...the music on PET SOUNDS flows as one....clearly demonstrates that the Beach Boys were capable of giving music lovers something they could feel very, very good about...", "...presenting the landmark recording in a stereo environment for the first time is a revelation, with previouisly `hidden' parts suddenly leaping into the foreground....among the most stunning aspects of the remodeled PET SOUNDS is its dramatically improved fidelity...", Voted the #1 Recorded Music Award for 1990., Ranked #2 in Rolling Stone's "500 Greatest Albums Of All Time" - "...Its luxurious sound conveys a heartbreaking wistfulness...", Ranked #1 in Nme's List of the `Greatest Albums of All Time.', Ranked #1 in Nme's List of the 'greatest Albums of All Time.', "Two instrumentals, a sea chantey, strange electronic instruments, and sounds literally designed for pets....Indie and prog rock both start here...", Included in Vibe's 100 Essential Albums of the 20th Century

    Worthy of its' acclaim !

    Although much has been said about this being a groundbreaking album , and influencing many greats in its' wake . The Beatles SGT PEPPER album being amongst them ? I don't recall ever hearing this from start to finish . Having heard Sloop John B again recently and kind of , finding something in there that i must have overlooked in the past , i decided to get this . A couple of plays and i can certainly see where its' acclaim is worthy .

    Always been a Beach Boys fan had this cd way back when. Loved it then but on re-listening I find it generally weak and innocuous.

  • Pet Sounds sounds great!

    When people say this is one of, if not the greatest album of all time, they are not kidding. The fact 50+ years has passed since its release has not dimmed the quality. Apart from that, the layered vocal style of God Only Knows, changed recording techniques from that point on. You have 3 chart classics here (God Only Knows, Sloop John B, Wouldn't it be nice), all different dimensions of Beach Boys style. "I just wasn't made for these times" may well have been Brian Wilsons personal statement but stands as a piece of music on its own. Put this on, sit down and LISTEN. Make no judgements, no praise, not til its over. Time will prove, and is proving, that this is such an important collection. It should touch everyones life in some way at some point. Brian's current Pet Sounds tour has proved what fans old and new think of this. Yes it was a Beach Boys album, but is essentially the heart, soul and mind of Brian Wilsons creative genius at that point in time. Pure, pure Genius!
