Hey, it's an Oasis album! Sounds just like every Oasis album!
Jethro Tull · 1 likes
4/5
Am... am I a Jethro Tull fan? When I loaded the page and saw Jethro Tull I thought "Ugh, great, another famous 70s prog rock band that's way overhyped." Listened to the album once, I recognized Aqualung but that was it. Then on the second playback I started getting into it. Then on the third I started liking it. Will I run out and buy this album? Nope. Would I listen to it again? Yep. Is it worth being on this list? Definite yep. 4/5.

3/5
I get it. Pet Sounds is one of the most innovative and influential albums of its time. I get why it needs to be on this list. But the songs just aren't that good. Yes, there are bangers (Wouldn't It Be Nice is classic Beach Boys but amped up in a great way, Sloop John B is one of the best songs of all time) but eh, the rest feel like Brian Wilson heard of this new Wall of Sound thing and thought "yeah shit I can just throw everything at it and it's going to be fucking awesome" although who knows what he was actually thinking, given he had a teenage wife (gross, they started "dating" when he was 21 and she was 15), or maybe it was the LSD that made him think it was going to be good. Long review short, influential album, couple of good songs, rest are filler. Solid 3/5.
