Pet Sounds: Most Overrated Album of All Time?

Charles Manson didn't like it either

@edcyn,

No, keep going.

What do any of us ultimately have, if not our memories?

I sometimes prefer Surf's Up (better sound quality at least) but Pet Sounds with its Spectorish production and the Wrecking Crew on board was no doubt pretty far out.
I suspect Pet Sounds will retain its appeal for some time to come.

It is a near perfect historical snapshot of an America that may have been fictional but nevertheless still holds considerable charm, especially for those living overseas.

Another time, another place.

Perhaps one of the most overproduced albums of all time. Actually it is a masterpiece but in a way not normally associated with other music and not in the way I hold most dear.

Its only most overrated if one accepts the premise of it being a greatest masterpiece.

In my view its a pretty nice album, not up to level of Sunflower and Surfs Up. I certainly don't understand trashing the album, unless melodicism and harmony aren't your thing.

WOW I like that Cash box listening for 1966...Herb Albery really sold like crazy....no wonder why there are so many albums in the cheap bonds now ....
