On this review I will be reviewing an album which was released 52 years ago on the 16th May 1966. It is The Beach Boys Eleventh studio album called "Pet Sounds".
The Beach Boys are an American pop rock band from California, Who I have been a fan of for quite some time. They have released albums such as "Beach Boys' Party", "Surfer Girl", "Surfin' USA", "Smiley Smile"and many more. "Pet Sounds" is one of the greatest albums of all time it's such a special album. This album has fantastic melody's and fantastic song writing by the legend himself Mr Brian Wilson. This album changed music at the time. It was so inspiring and something different at the time. This album inspired many artists/bands. One of the members from the indie pop band 'Foster The People' said one of their favourite albums of all time was "Pet Sounds". 'Mark Foster' from 'Foster The People' replied saying that it was one of the albums that inspired him to do music. Discussing the rivalry between 'The Beatles', and 'The Beach Boys'. There was always rival between these two great bands. Since The Beatles done well in America the rivalry began when both bands were doing so well. 'The Beatles' wanted to make an album just like "Pet Sounds". The album that was on the same level as "Pet Sounds" was "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band". Critics still call this album as the same level as "Pet Sounds". I prefer "Pet Sounds" than "Sgt Pepper's". "Pet Sounds" will always be my favourite 60's album along with 'Bob Dylan "Blonde On Blonde". Brian Wilson is a genius for creating a masterpiece.
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which were "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "You Still Believe In Me", "Let's Go Away For Awhile", "Sloop John B", "God Only Knows", "Caroline No". Starting with "Wouldn't It Be Nice" which was the first ever "Beach Boys" song that made me become a fan. I love this song the production on this track is amazing love the mixture of sounds on this track. "You Still Believe In Me" I loved the guitar reef on this great track. "Let's Go Away For Awhile" one of the strongest tracks on the album which was a decent track. "Sloop John B" is a great track with fantastic lyrics. "God Only Knows" is the popular track on the album. It's one of the fan's favourite. "Caroline No" which is the ending track to the album I thought it was a great track to end the masterpiece. There were no least favourite tracks on the album.
Overall I enjoyed this album. This album will always be a masterpiece. I would definitely listen to it again. It's a 10/10
