Album Of The Day: Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys

Album Art of The Beach Boys's Pet Sounds album - On the bottom 3/4ths of the cover, a photo of some young men in collared shirts and jackets feeding a bunch of goats or something in what looks like a pen at a farm or something. They look like they're trying to feed them carrots and their expressions are a bit unsure on how well it is going, but the animals do seem to be trying to get the food. The top quarter has a solid green background and has the band name printed in yellow on the left, with the album title right after it as well in white. Next to the title is the list of all the songs. And on the far right, the Capitol Records oval logo in yellow.

On the event of Brian Wilson's passing, it seems only fitting to listen to the one Beach Boys album I own, Pet Sounds. It's not an album I listen to often, but it is certainly an album full of great songs and great musical talent that pushed the boundaries of modern music at the time. There's plenty of surf rock anthems and love songs, but there's lots of experimentation and introspection by Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys on this release as well. Even if you haven't listened to this album, you may have heard of songs like these: "Wouldn't It Be Nice", "Sloop John B", "God Only Knows", "I Know There's An Answer" and "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times". I always enjoy listening through an album because there's a few songs you may have not heard before or don't remember liking before, and along with those hits, there are some fun other moments here, like the fun instrumental tracks. Rest in peace, Brian Wilson.
