I think the legend, mystique, and aura that have surrounded SMiLE since
before it was even recorded until the present day has drastically influenced
how people feel about it. In my personal opinion, SMiLE holds none of the
beauty of Pet Sounds. I actually find it rather disturbing and creepy. I
never felt good after listening to it. Now, it sits on my shelf gathering
dust like a piece in a museum. It's like having your cake, but never
wanting to eat it.
