I echo some of the other commenters. Hard to wrap my brain around all the accolades this album has gotten including from Mr. Paul McCartney himself.. Most of it sounds like overproduced elevator music, with several great hits salted in amongst it. The singing is wonderful throughout, it has no doubt insanely complex arrangements, I love the smokey echoey drum sound that you hear in Mowton a lot, but it seems fairly lugubrious, syrupy, and forgettable, as a whole--at least to me and I've been trying to go ga ga over it for years, and here I am, failing once again.
Tremendous album

It only took 58 years, but I got here. I was 12 when this album and some of the greatest music ever was being made. Thankful to live in the album age. Thankful to have my music collection. Headphones on, push play, close eyes; still 12. Magic!
Blah

It Grows On You, Right?

I was given this as a Christmas gift a few years after its initial release. It came out in a 3 LP set by Capitol which also included Summer Days and The Beach Boys Today. My standout track on all 3 vinyl records was "California Girls." I didn't really take to Pet Sounds right away. But over the years, anytime I want to get into its special mood, I can give it another listen. It grows on you, right? And the a cappella version of Pet Sounds on the "Good Vibrations - 30 Years of the Beach Boys" box set is outstanding. Now that I DID take to right away. One story - I met Brian Wilson on the streets of NYC when they played Central Park, and I shook his hand, and all I could think of in my head was, "This is the guy who wrote Pet Sounds." Even though at that time I was not a big fan of Pet Sounds. I guess my sub-conscious took over my mind.
A masterpiece
