This is just a fantastic record. It is easy to see how people may have not been ready for this in the 60's and, still at the turn of the century some people still may be not ready for it. This is a highly imaginative work that goes above and beyond what the Beach Boys accomplished and may isolate those expecting Pet Sounds part two. Thankfully, it is not and it is all the better for it. Yes, his voice has aged, but it is all the more gracious. Thank you for this fantastic and wonderful album!!!
