Album Description
Available in:
Pet Sounds es el undécimo álbum de estudio de la banda de rock estadounidense The Beach Boys, lanzado el 16 de mayo de 1966 por Capitol Records. Desde entonces ha sido reconocido como uno de los discos más influyentes en la historia de la música popular y uno de los mejores álbumes de la década de 1960, que incluye canciones como "Wouldn't It Be Nice" y "God Only Knows". Pet Sounds se creó varios meses después de que Brian Wilson dejara de viajar con la banda para centrar su atención en la escritura y la grabación. En él, tejió capas elaboradas de armonías vocales, junto con efectos de sonido e instrumentos poco convencionales como timbres de bicicleta, órganos vibrantes, clavecines, flautas, Electro-Theremin, silbatos de perro, trenes, instrumentos de cuerda con sonido hawaiano, latas de Coca-Cola y ladridos de perros, junto con los teclados y guitarras más habituales.
Aunque Pet Sounds ha sido acreditado como uno de los álbumes más importantes de todos los tiempos, su lanzamiento inicial no alcanzó el estatus de oro, donde alcanzó el número 10 en el American Billboard 200. Un álbum que anuncia el estilo emergente del rock psicodélico, Pet Sounds ha sido defendido y emulado por su instrumentación barroca dramática y revolucionaria. Ha sido clasificado en el número 1 en varias listas de revistas de música de los mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos, incluyendo New Musical Express, The Times y Mojo Magazine. Ocupó el puesto número 2 en la lista de los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos de la revista Rolling Stone.
User Album Review
“Who’s gonna hear this shit?” Beach Boys singer Mike Love asked the band’s resident genius, Brian Wilson, in 1966, as Wilson played him the new songs he was working on. “The ears of a dog?” Confronted with his bandmate’s contempt, Wilson made lemonade of lemons. “Ironically,” he observed, “Mike’s barb inspired the album’s title.”
Barking dogs – Wilson’s dog Banana among them, in fact – are prominent among the found sounds on the album. The Beatles made a point of echoing them on Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – an acknowledgment that Pet Sounds was the inspiration for the Beatles’ masterpiece. That gesture actually completed a circle of influence: Wilson initially conceived of Pet Sounds as an effort to top the Beatles’ Rubber Soul. With its vivid orchestration, lyrical ambition, elegant pacing, and thematic coherence, Pet Sounds invented — and in several senses, perfected — the notion that an album could be more than the sum of its parts. When Wilson sang, “Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older,” on the album’s magnificent opening song, he wasn’t just imagining a love that could evolve past high school, he was suggesting a new grown-up identity for rock & roll music itself.
Wilson made Pet Sounds without the rest of the band, using them only to flesh out the vocal arrangements. He even considered putting the album out as a solo project, and the first single, “Caroline, No,” was released under his own name. The personal nature of the songs, which Wilson co-wrote primarily with lyricist Tony Asher, further distinguished the album from the Beach Boys’ previous hits. Its luxurious sound conveys a heartbreaking wistfulness, as songs such as “I Just Wasn’t Made for These Times” and “I’m Waiting for the Day” bid farewell to the innocent world of the early Sixties.
The album’s centerpiece is “God Only Knows,” arranged with harpsichord, horns, sleigh bells, and strings to create a spiritual feeling Wilson later compared to “being blind, but in being blind, you can see more. You close your eyes; you’re able to see a place or something that’s happening.” In the years to come, countless artists would live in his vision.
