Blog Entry 2 -The Beach Boys Pet Sounds Entry


The Beach Boys were definitely a great sensation during the 1950s and 1960s as they progressed with their music. They where a surf style band that did rock and were know to be a California sunshine band. Their image was a surfer like image. Before the Pet sounds album the Beach Boys were viewed as the California sound. Brian Wilson was the leader and songwriter of the Beach Boys. He was a great Artist to be able to push the band up to the top. Brian was influenced by psychedelic drugs and crated the album Pet Sounds. Two great characteristics that Pet Sound brought was overlapping instruments witch were used to make new sounds by adding two separate instruments and combining them in order to make one single sound. Also they brought metaphorical lyrics with are still used in today’s music. As A listener Pet Sounds has a distinct but classic feel to it. The way they used the instrumentation shows the way a creative artist works and how you can never get to creative when it comes to music. My first impression was that the record felt a little corny but that’s because it’s not in my time. As far as the instrumentation and the way it was recorded I think that this is one of the best compared to the Beetles Revolver Album. As an industry professional I view this project as a great creative piece of work not only in the instrumentation but also on the vocals or lyrics. The harmonies that were provided were phenomenal and different throughout the entire album.
