The Good:
Listening to the album "Pet Sounds" gave me new opinions about the beach boys. Before I had always associated the beach boys with laid back style and happy tones and lyrics which made me not take them as seriously as i should have. When I heard the first song I was super happy to know that such a famous song came from such a sophisticated album. My new opinion formed after hearing all of the great lyrics and the way that they were able to change their sound and improve to sophisticated grown ups. I liked the way that the album flowed and the way they experimented with new styles of playing and new instruments to revolutionize the music industry.
The Bad:
Once I realized that there was a whole different side to the Beach Boys that no one had told me about before, It made me miss the stereotypes that the Beach Boys have displayed and while listening to the album I almost got bored with some of the more relaxed and complex music.
Overall I respect the album and am probably going to download it. Something that a lot of the songs reminded me of were a few of these songs by arcade fire. The tempo mostly and the mood of the music is very similar.
