Before the Beach Boys "Pet Sounds" was recorded, the Beach Boys were considered more like a barbershop quartet with a more up tempo and youth sound utilizing harmonized vocals and fun lyrics. Pet Sounds changed a lot of that image, putting a more serious feel into the Beach Boys signature sound
This change was mostly because of Brian Wilson, who wrote, composed, mixed and produced the songs that were created by the Beach Boys. Two characteristics that drive the Beach Boy sound are the many track layers that are recorded and mixed in together with the harmonized vocals and music giving it a more thick and full sound and the range and harmonization of the vocals that are used by the Beach Boys.
My impressions of Pet Sounds is that its not like the songs that I have gotten accustomed to hearing from the Beach Boys. The songs that are featured in movies and commercials are the ones that I grew up with in combination with the previous mentioned mediums. Pet Shop may appear to be similar but the lyrics are much deeper. I believe if it wasbt for Brian Wilson's love for what he was doing, the Beach Boys wouldn't be as relevant as they are now.
