This is the second Beach Boys album I've heard and I thought it was much better than "The Beach Boys Today!". On "Pet Sounds" the guys sound more relaxed and confident and the majority of the songs weren't sappy 60's love songs. "Pet Sounds" contains two of The Beach Boys' best hits, "God Only Knows" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice". "God Only Knows" was recently used in the video game "BioShock Infinite" to great effect. A barbershop quartet sung a lovely rendition of it which I really loved. I also thought out of the two instrumental tracks on this album "Let's Go Away For Awhile" is the better one. The "Pet Sounds" instrumental was boring filler. 4/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: God Only Knows, Wouldn't It Be Nice, Sloop John B, Here Today & I'm Waiting For The Day.
