Title: An Album To Heal By
Review: I was a few months shy of 20 when I bought "Pet Sounds." I had heard little of it except the hits, but knew it was more than an average Beach Boys album.Hearing those hits amidst the other beautiful, orchestral songs on this album -- "That's Not Me," "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times," "Here Today" -- made me realize that Brian Wilson, through his brothers, cousin and the musicians and writers they assembled, made an album that spoke to me personally. If he lived to tell the tale, I could, too (I didn't know how much worse for wear Brian Wilson would be).The album got me through two breakups, one more painful than the previous. Three days after the second breakup (itself three days after Christmas)I returned to my ex-girlfriend's house wanting not the presents or anything else I gave her -- only "Pet Sounds." One person's music is another's medicine.
