Hello Jason, this is a wonderful post and I totally agree that The Beach Boy’s Pet Sounds is an awesome album. I believe that Brian Wilson’s sense of harmony and perfect pitch gave the Beach Boys in general, an excellent and unique sound and Pet Sounds specifically a vibrant and new feel. It has been said that the line between genius and madness is narrow and I believe that this is true of Brian Wilson. Part of his manic recording style and push for more innovative sound show his genius while his mental anxiety and excessive drug use point toward madness. The brilliant arrangement of the vocal harmonies and unusual instrumentation really sets this album as one of the top albums ever. I look forward to reading more of your posts and hearing more of your work as well.

Best Wishes
