I think some people just don't fully understand Pet Sounds, I don't mean that in the cocky Tool fan I think there's even plenty of fans that don't understand it. The fans who don't are the kind that always think of The Beach Boys as the fun Surfin USA singing California guys and just look at the Beach Boys as good pop, that's what they are but I don't think they realize Pet Sounds is very innovative and how good of an arranger Brian Wilson was/is.

I think Pet Sounds is kind of an underrated because I think it's very important to American music. You have the Beatles and Zeppelin and Sabbath but they were all british, I'm not doing any ADELE elitist type stuff here but I think Pet Sounds is one of the few 60s classics that was American (off the top of my head I can think of the Doors and the Velvet Underground) like I don't know where I'm going this I just feel its important to American music, much more than its given credit for. Sure it wasn't bluesy or psychedelic but I think it's sort of a quiet, unnoticeable revolution. You look at Pet Sounds from the outside and its this good time pop album but on the inside its beautifully arranged and crafted and its (next to Smile) Brian Wilson's finest effort production wise, which I think says alot. I'll add on to why I personally love it later, I'm kind of tired.
