The Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" album was one of the most enjoyable they made. When they made this album they use as an influence their competition The Beatles. Before this album the Beach Boys weren't a huge famous band, but when they released this album it broke the expectation of everyone.
Brian Wilson was the leader/songwriter of The Beach Boys. He had an important role in the band but he covered it well. Brian Wilson had different influence when he wrote this album. He used "The Beatles" as an influence when he wrote the songs of the album "Pet Sounds". Apart from The Beatles, Brian Wilson biggest influence was Phil Spector. With him they made that album sound how it sounded. Phil Spector's wall of sound made "Pet Sounds" one of the most influential pop album ever released.
In this album Brian Wilson used the Electro-Theremin as an instrument and gave a different feeling and that innovating sound that everyone liked. Apart from this, Brian Wilson recorded the songs in different studios because he said that with that he was getting a different feeling for the song. Since The Beach Boys are more like a surfer pop band when I heard this album it reminds me back home "Puerto Rico", because I used to surf and it gave me that beach surfing good times.
From a listener point of view this album was great and made a lot of minds to go and follow their career this album was so great that changed the music history. As an industry professional I would say that this album was their best ever produced, but they leaned and used The Beatles as a big influence while producing this album but probably that is why it made it that good.
