While I don't prefer it to Pet Sounds (which is one of my few favourite albums ever), I thought it was gorgeous. The discordant note to me, though, was that Brian's voice was no longer the lovely '60s version, but degraded by age. The Wondermints did a pretty amazing approximation of the rest of the Beach Boys.

I still listened to it semi-constantly for weeks.
