        A really fine album.  "Pet Sounds" is so ballyhooed, as is "Today"   
   to some extent.  "Summer Days" tends to get lost in the shuffle, though   
   that's a healthy thing, I guess, given the great work of mid-60's Brian.   
      
        No one seems to like "Amusement Parks USA";  it's not #1 potential,   
   but I love the break in the middle that gives the listener (note I use   
   the word "listener" not dancer) a real illusion of an amusement park,   
   and with that chord progression (Bb Major, G minor, C Major Dominant, F   
   Major, etc.   
      
        And with Hal Blaine doing a vocal ("Hurry, hurry, hurry folks...").   
   assisting the innocence combined with pyschedelia. And Brian's inventive   
   dialogue, too!   
      
        Let's see....oh, and "Let Him Run Wild" is really bluesy!  It would   
   have worked well, with maybe a bit of less production, on "Wild Honey".   
      
        The opener, "Girl From New York City" has a disturbing chord   
   structure.  It starts with a C Major opener like everything's gonna be   
   just fine; then, all of a sudden, it stays on a supertonic D Major!   
   Then it follows with a weak G Major Dominant going back finally to a C.   
   I say weak because of that profound supertonic.
