Brian Wilson reached his creative peak with Pet Sounds. One of the finest pop albums of all time by one of the greatest pop bands, it is sheer perfection throughout. Includes the top three hit singles Sloop John B and God Only Knows. (US:10 UK:2)

"It's absolutely one of my favourite albums of all time. Strikingly beautiful melodies, beautiful vocals, beautiful orchestration, beautiful everything."

"Pet Sounds is simply amazing. Brilliant from beginning to end. Every track is an absolute masterpiece. This is the most important album ever made because it turned popular music into a real art form, and did so with artistic and technical mastery."

"This is an incredibly moving album. Without a doubt, this is the most brilliant creation ever bestowed upon popular music. God Only Knows is the perfect pop song. Brian Wilson was a master at crafting pop symphonies. Every song on here is a classic, even though the mood is very similar throughout, the only exception being the out of place but still terrific Sloop John B." "This is where the group's mastery of the technical came to the forefront like never before. There are so many vocal layers, and such a rich symphonic sound that by this point it was clear, The Beach Boys had something pretty special happening. The album is a symphony of sophisticated chord changes, wistful melodies, sweet vocal harmonies and reflective lyrics of love and longing."
