The Beach Boys Pet Sounds
The Beach Boys - Book - by Jim Fusilli
(2005)
One of the most celebrated pop albums
ever released. It has also been written about, pored over, and analyzed
more than most other albums put together. In this disarming book, Jim
Fusilli focuses primarily on the emotional core of the album, on Brian
Wilson's pitch-perfect cry of despair. In doing so, he brings to life
the search for equilibrium and acceptance that still gives Pet Sounds
its heart almost four decades after its release.
For all the ups
and downs, the scandals and, finally, the good times that are
associated with Brian Wilson and the Beach Boys, nothing can diminish
the beauty of Pet Sounds – its sense of adventure, its insight
into the boundless mysteries of young love and how all its elements seem
to coalesce to lay bare an insecure teen confronted by the
uncertainties of adulthood, a man who wishes life were as simple as he
believed it once was. More than a wonderful work that has easily
withstood the test of time, Pet Sounds raises pop to the level of
art through its musical sophistication and the precision of its
statement which, taken together, celebrate the fulfillment of Brian
Wilson's ambition.
