COOL BEANS 😎 🫘 I can’t wait to dive in shortly. A genuinely nice surprise. 😲

Mark Alexander

Fantastic reaction, and expected. This album rocked musicians around the world, especially The Beatles and George Martin. It models Brian Wilson’s genius at arranging the instruments and voices. The surfing side of The Beach Boys was misleading. Few could do what they did, as you now know. Excellent choice. And there is still so much more of the 60s and 70s you have yet to explore. Enjoy!💛💚❤️💙💜🧡

Halfway through, and loving your reactions. To answer your question, this is the album that inspired The Beatles to create Sgt. Pepper. And yes, The Beach Boys are all over many movies. I remember Wouldn’t It Be Nice was used to great ironic effect at the end of Warren Beatty’s movie Shampoo. Heartbreaking. This album was a BIG shift in their style, and way ahead of its time.

“God Only Knows” is in Love Actually.

Stephen Caruso

iconic album loved all the songs and very much a part of my youth on Long Island NY

Scott Anderson

What an emotional treat you shared with us. I was 7 or 8 when it came out and other than a song or two on the radio like “God Only Knows” it would be a while before I knew of this record. Sometime in the early 70s was when I had the ability to chart my own musical journey. That’s when I began to learn about this amazing recording. Heck fire I’m still learning. There is so much creativity here and with the whole expanded Wrecking Crew contributing it’s an unbelievable confluence of musical genius. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for doing this. Great idea Greybeard. Just like many others here I had the album. Been ages since I listened to Pet Sounds. Anyone, please correct me if I'm wrong but this was a Brian Wilson project that the rest of the band did not like. They claimed it wasn't traditional Beach Boys. As it turned out Pet Sounds was ahead of its time and a classic. Back in 1968 my civics teacher (RIP Mr. Mathews) had record day (45's and 33's) every Tuesday. I was intro'd to Pet Sounds in civic class. I then used my paperboy $$$ to buy the album. The class was multi racial and multi nationality and introduced me to what others were listening to. 1968 version of reactions. Was really cool back then.

Gary Lewis

I can still remember listening to "I Get Around" on 77 WABC New York in 1964 at the age of 7 as my very first time listening to the radio by myself for myself with a new transistor radio in my room, clapping along to the music and feeling all grown up. Brian Wilson is/was SUCH a genius, having created Pet Sounds in response to The Beatles "Rubber Soul" and in turn spurring Paul McCartney to "Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band". McCartney names "God Only Knows" as the greatest song ever written, and it is indeed a wonder in every way...including not being in any definable key! And NicknLex, since you're talking about what it was like to hear all this back then: The "American Graffiti" era up through 1962 was really an extension of the 50's, which is why the doo-wop genre is the soundtrack. For many people the "60's feeling" was the sense of rapid and seismic change, and started with the Kennedy assassination November 22, 1963...The Beatles on Ed Sullivan was the February right after that, then the British Invasion, Viet Nam escalation, civil right struggles/unrest, the Generation Gap, psychedelics, Summer of Love, and on and on, punctuated and underscored by groundbreaking advances in Rock like "Pet Sounds"...Thanks, Greybeard, and thanks, NicknLex!

Gary Lewis

Since you're so taken with the bass, you should know that the famous "Wrecking Crew" studio musicians, most notably Carol Kaye on bass and Hal Blaine on percussion, are highly praiseworthy for their respective contributions here. Carol Kaye could have her own marathon for the groundbreaking bass work she did on so many hit records by so many different artists, and this as a woman in what was very much a man's world back then...The fact that her roots were jazz, as Nick will no doubt agree, had a lot to do with both her innovation and the appreciation of her talent as THE hired gun bass player at the time...

Eric Meredith

Wow.. I had no idea what I was getting into here. I truly do not know much Beach Boy's material. This was great! so many textures , so many sounds from so many instruments. will listen to this again , possibly look for it on vinyl! great one Greybeard! love to the whole community!!

JK

Absolutely right! I learned about her in The Wrecking Crew documentary, which was outstanding and worth a watch by Nick and Lex.

Dave

And Funk Brothers "Standing In the Shadows of Motown" James Jamerson and Bob Babbit on bass. A story told by one of the Funk's was Marvin was in studio waiting for James to show up. He went looking and found him in a bar wasted. Marvin brought him back to the studio were he played his part while lying on the floor. Maybe at some point I'll do that Joan Osborne segment with the Funks.

Richard Dobson

One of THE GREAT classic albums of all time! Pet Sounds strangely received a lukewarm reception on release in the U.S. as it was a huge change in direction for the band, although in reality Brian Wilson wrote pretty much the whole album and presented it to the rest of the band (his brothers Carl and Dennis, his cousin Mike Love and friend Al Jardine) who treated it with suspicion. Likewise Capitol, their record company who failed to promote it fully. In the U.K. however, it received rave reviews and was a huge seller. As a twelve year old I knew all the words to 'God Only Knows', 'Sloop John B' and 'Wouldn't It Be Nice' as they were on the radio a lot. Pet Sounds and the single that followed it, 'Good Vibrations' was certainly the highpoint of the band's catalogue and Brian's obsession with creating the perfect album with no 'filler' (to rival The Beatles' Rubber Soul and Revolver) fuelled his mental instability and his planned follow-up album 'Smile' would never be finished. This album is rightly regarded as an all-time classic, and The Beach Boys are definitely considered as one of the most important bands ever Nick, but whereas The Beatles had three genuine songwriters to share the load, The Beach Boys were basically Brian Wilson and when he started ceding control to the rest of the band around the end of the 60's, their music's quality became inconsistent. They still made some good music though, and Surf's Up from 1971 is a particular favourite of mine. Thanks for a great, emotional reaction!

Scott Anderson

Preach brother, she is so under appreciated.

Phillip Bates

The Beach Boys formed in 1961, so around the same time as The Beatles. Brian Wilson was inspired by The Beatles Rubber Soul Album and The Beatles were inspired by Pet Sounds when recording Sgt Peppers.

Chuck Drennen

There were lyrics written for the instrumentals but Brian thought they didn't need them.

Debra Brabenec

I, like Richard, only knew the radio singles, because we never had the album. I was actually in my 50s before I heard the whole album! Interestingly, though, I did know some of the source material, because my husband had brought home a used box set, Good Vibrations, Thirty Years of The Beach Boys, and it had a CD with some of the sessions where they tried out ideas. What Nick thought was an oboe on the second track was instead a clarinet. There are no oboes at all on this album! What I think is cool is how many bass instruments there are, besides electric and acoustic basses: bass harmonica, bass clarinet, bass saxophone and bass trombone!! Also notable is the use of theramin on "I Guess I Just Wasn't Made For These Times", four months before the release of "Good Vibrations"! There are some wonderful videos on You Tube of Brian working with The Wrecking Crew and other musicians to get the sounds he wanted for this album. This was the first Beach Boys album they couldn't possibly play on tour, because it was too complex! My last comment is a bit of a brag- my husband's big band has been playing the song "Pet Sounds" for decades!! Thanks, Greybeard, for the suggestion of this groundbreaking album! 🎵❤️🎵 Debbie

Great reaction to what to me is one of the too 10 all time albums. Particularly share the love for God Only Knows Keep up the fantastic work. Steve

Lee Haskin

Whoa - never expected this. I never really cared for surf music growing up, and never paid any attention to the Beach Boys until Kokomo came out. Loved that song, but still never got into them. I found some amazing Christmas music they did and fell in love with their harmonies. Always play those tunes over the holidays. But still never explored further. This whole album was great, in my opinion that first instrumental was the best. Thanks for sharing, and thanks Greybeard. This is one I will continue to listen to.

David Hess

God only knows is my favorite song on this album, great vocals

David Hess

Nick, the words to God only knows do have a deep, heart felt meaning, I don't blame you one bit for getting emotional, when you have your soulmate and gift from God sitting next to you, God does only know where you'd be without your soulmate.
