		The triumphant staging of ‘Pet Sounds’ in January 2002 was followed by a return visit for encore performances in June of that year.
		Besides the Beatles-related notoriety, Pet Sounds also benefits from its sheer existence, unlike the resuscitated "lost" album Smile, the recently released, official Brian Wilson version of which is not only revelatory but also hamstrung by not fulfilling the boundless universe of possibilities the actualization of a legendary unreleased record necessarily dispels.
		Bruce sounded good even though Mike made fun as he sang "I Write The Songs." They played three songs from Pet Sounds and the difference between their versions and Brian's band is big.

		As such, Pet Sounds is not merely one of the greatest records ever made, but also one of the towering masterpieces of 20th-century art.
		You've never heard Pet Sounds until you hear it in stereo, as the separation between the instruments (including piccolo trumpets, Christmas bells, timpanis and harps) reveals the brilliance of Wilson's arrangements and the jaw-dropping beauty of the music, all of which nicely complements the melancholy poignancy of the lyrics.
		The final episode of "Pet Sounds" is "Caroline, No," three minutes of heartbreaking pathos, a haunting ballad that is the guts of hapless melancholy, the hollow and incredulous feeling at the loss of a lover.

	Jim Fusilli - Books
		Pet Sounds is, rightly, one of the most celebrated pop albums ever released.
		The "one" in the case of Pet Sounds is Brian Wilson, and the statement is communicated not only by the lyrics he wrote with Tony Asher, but by the music and arrangements he created and the way he produced the album.
		If you think of Pet Sounds as a song cycle and you start with the chiming, optimistic guitars of "Wouldn't it be Nice" and you end up with Brian's cry just before the fade of "Caroline No," you'll understand what this album is about.

	2) Pet Sounds : Rolling Stone
		That gesture actually completed a circle of influence: Wilson initially conceived of Pet Sounds as an effort to top the Beatles' Rubber Soul.
		Wilson essentially made Sounds without the rest of the band, using them only to flesh out the vocal arrangements.
		Its luxurious sound convey a heartbreaking wistfulness, as songs such as "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" and "I'm Waiting for the Day" bid farewell to the innocent world of the early Sixties and to the Beach Boys' fun-in-the-sun hits.

	Gadfly Online.
		Pet Sounds has always been about the songs, and in this collection we see how the individual parts equal the beauty of their sum.
		Sounding distinctly Wilson, Carl's boyish baritone hesitantly puts forth the idea that "I may not always love you." The trace of insecurity moves into confidence.
		Listening to Pet Sounds will not only tell you why they were kings, but it may allow you to forgive them for what became of the kingdom.

	BEACH BOYS: PET SOUNDS
		That 4th CD is an accurate digital replica of the original, mono-mix release of PET SOUNDS, in a miniature version of the LP jacket.
		In addition to the pieces used on PET SOUNDS, there are the "highlights" and tracks for "Trombone Dixie" (never used, until released as a bonus track on the first CD release of PET SOUNDS), and "Good Vibrations," which was started at the same time as the album.
		The instrumental backing tracks are integral to the sound of the album, but fascinating to hear on their own, more open and not buried beneath the vocals.

	The Pet Sounds Sessions
		God only knows why it took so long, but The Pet Sounds Sessions, a four-CD set (Capitol C2-37662) devoted to that most astonishingly beautiful of all Beach Boys albums, finally was released in late 1997 after more than a year of delays, and at last it has reached my listening post.
		Pet Sounds, mono mix and record-company indifference notwithstanding, has been hailed for years as one of the seminal Sixties recordings, an album you simply could not go through life without owning.
		The rest of the first disc, and all of the second, is taken up with actual segments from the session tapes and the final versions (in stereo) of the instrumental tracks.

	Not A Dollarshort: Pet Sounds
		Besides the great singles from Pet Sounds, you have the first incarnation of the album as a whole, meant to be listened to as an entire suite of music instead of a series of 3 minute top 40 songs.
		Though to be fair, NOT having Pet Sounds would have set the idea of the "concept album" off by several years and could have resulted in the non-release of Roger Water's epic self-pitying tribute to himself, The Wall.
		There is something however oddly magical about Pet Sounds as an album, for much of it is hardly commercial sounding (with a few obvious exceptions), and there seems to be a bright, intense sense of creativity in the songwriting and production that influenced countless future artists.

	Salon \| Sharps and Flats
		"Pet Sounds" is, arguably, the first pop-rock record to be wholly conceived as a complete experience, a self-contained unit that was a step away from the hits-plus-filler affairs that characterized most of the albums of the time.
		Take 1 starts off sounding like the familiar version, but when the horns begin to rise up a few bars in, something sounds bloated, forced and kitschy.
		But that the reworked music of "Pet Sounds" is so wondrously varied, so thrilling, so listenable in and of itself -- that's the real dream come true.

	Pet Sounds, Part I
		I immediately went to work on the songs for PET SOUNDS" These words adorn the short explanation written by Brian Wilson on the 1990 re-release of Pet Sounds.
		Pet Sounds was a direct response to Rubber Soul, but was certainly a cut above it.
		Pet Sounds became the inspiration for a legion of acid-rockers, from the Grateful Dead to Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother and The Holding Company to Pink Floyd.

	DVD-Audio Review: The Beach Boys - ‘Pet Sounds’
		While all surround music is characterized by sound from all “around” the listener, I hope it is a point of agreement that the quality of the mix is not determined by how aggressively or non-aggressively the surrounds are used.
		This is not a slam at the sound engineer, since I have heard several high-resolution discs whose surround “mixes” suffer, at least in the comparison I made, to the two-channel original being processed through either Logic 7 or Dolby Pro Logic II.
		Obviously, the musical significance of ‘Pet Sounds’, which is already legendary, forces a certain degree of scrutiny to the issuance of this DVD-Audio disc that a lesser work might not be subjected to.

		i've loved "pet sounds" since i first heard it in the 60's; when i was younger it was the hits "sloop john b" and "god only knows" or the more up-tempo "here today" that i replayed the most.
		Pet sounds is a great album :)its amazing how good it sounds when compared to modern albums the sounds quality is pretty much on a par, even if it was deliberately recorded in mono (due to Brian Wilson's partial deafness).
		Pet Sounds, and latterly SMiLE, show that Brian Wilson was the only person capable of going head to head with Lennon & McCartney and not to come off second best.

	Pet Sounds 40th Anniversary - CD Reviews - Music - Entertainment - smh.com.au
		There are two explanations as to why Pet Sounds makes it to or very near the top of any list of the best albums of the '60s or the best albums ever.
		One explanation is that many voters in these polls are uncritical upholders of the pop canon, afraid to be out of step with their peers and predecessors.
		Pet Sounds was virtually a solo album, with Wilson taking the lead (and often the harmony) vocals on almost every track - the exception being the sublime voice of his younger brother, Carl, God Only Knows - and directing the finest session musicians in Los Angeles.

	GoodBoys Nation - Archives » Pet Sounds
		Recently re-released as a CD/DVD combo on the 40th anniversary of the legendary album’s issue, Pet Sounds historically is placed by music critics amongst the top 10 (if not the top five) greatest rock albums of all time.
		The “hits” from Pet Sounds - and there are several - are undoubtedly amongst the group’s strongest and most recognized works: “Wouldn’t It Be Nice”, “God Only Knows”, and “Sloop John B.”, but it is in the album’s lesser-known cuts that, in my view, Pet Sounds shines.
		The first time I heard Pet Sounds, I immediately connected with the three songs mentioned above, for, not only were the songs exquisitely written and beautifully performed, but it was almost as if I could hear the lyrics being sung to my soul and about me personally.

		The unique sound in the introduction was achieved by one person plucking the strings of a piano while the other held the notes down so that they would ring.
		It sounds like something else." Although it may be two or three instruments playing the same notes, it now sounds different." In the mid-sixties, records were recorded on 8-tracks, which meant that there wasn't very much room for various instruments as well as vocals.
		This combination of instruments also helped him develop new sounds, which he used to bring his "feels", little rhythms or tunes in his head that represented sentiments or emotions, out into the open.

		Pet Sounds was made during the period in 1965-66 when Brian stopped touring with his band, preferring to stay home and work on tracks.

		It is time someone said Stop about the self important, bloated, monstrous bag of garbage that Pet Sounds actually is. Pet Sounds is an album revered by music producers and some musicians, for reasons that nobody really cares about.

		Carl, on the other hand, thought it was Brian: "The idea he had was that everybody has these sounds that they love, and this was a collection of [his] 'pet sounds.' It was hard to think of a name for the album, because you sure couldn't call it Shut Down Vol.
		After Pet Sounds was finished, he would focus his full attention on it, eventually spending six months preparing it for release as a single.
		With most of the necessary instrumental tracks recorded for Pet Sounds, the month of March and the first half of April 1966 were devoted primarily to vocals.
