I ought to sit with Pet Sounds a bit more but my initial take on this was 'i need to listen to it again immediately'. This is currently might favorite record of theirs. So easy to listen to in one sitting

My dad is obsessed with this band. I've only jammed Pet Sounds in full but I'm definitely going to check this out cuz the comments have me intrigued

I always thought “cabinessence” was the song not by anco that most sounded like it’s by them, even though when people will complain we’re talking like this they’ll be right. I should really give this a proper listen

" I can’t help but evaluate the songs at least: heroes, vibrations, and surf’s all do nothing for me, all due to the basic issue of convolution: more is less in all three cases"



might agree with this, definitely with Heroes. For Good Vibrations idk if the songwriting is necessarily too busy, or whether the verse being gold and the chorus being arse is enough of an issue in itself

Am gonna add that Little Pad does sound like a prototype for the listenable 50% of Sung Tongs in a positive way



and also that Gettin' Hungry is one of the most irritating songs I have heard in my life in a negative way



Hmm

“All over the place/convoluted/irritating”



Maybe try Tame Impala’s Currents, it might be more your speed
