THE BEACH BOYS - READER COMMENTS
Jeremiah Methvin - Just for clarification, the first instrumental track on Pet Sounds is not "I'm Waiting for the Day," but rather, "Let's Go Away for Awhile." John J. Doyle - Come on Ian, you can just go and dis the title track! It's probably the best of an already perfect bunch. I agree with your perfect 10 rating, but realistically speaking, there isn't ONE weak song on "Pet Sounds". Even the much maligned "Sloop John B." is the bees knees. Ian's Music Reviews - Thanks for writing! Actually, I've gained a new appreciation for the title track after seeing Brian Wilson perform it live this past summer. It was great live, no doubt about it. I'm not sure why I can't get into the studio recording, although it seems as though we're in agreement on the rest of Pet Sounds. And yes, 'Sloop John B' is a classic!!!! John J. Doyle - Yep, it's a
perfect 10, no doubt about it. Also check out "Sunflower," if you
haven't done so already. It gives "Pet Sounds" a good run for it's
money....... John J. Doyle - I can't recommend "Sunflower" highly enough! A glorious album. Kind of like "Abbey Road" to "Pet Sounds" "Revolver", if you like. It may not be the bees knees, on the first few listens, (like "Pet Sounds", really....), but give it a chance, trust me. At WORST, I would give it a 9/10, but realistically, it deserves higher. A great emotionally revelatory album. Really comes into it's own, during those "magic moments" in life. Ultimate spiritual nourishment............ Ian's Music Reviews - The entire Beach Boys catalog is definitely on my "to do" list. I've heard most of Sunflower, but not the entire album, so I'm pretty curious about it.
