How can anyone call this avant garde/art rock when the lyrics are literally the same as One Direction?

William Gonzalez
what it did for *music* is crazy
as for the lyrics, they represented sincerity and plainness in an era obsessed with esotericism, making it counter-counterculture
predating what we know today as "new sincerity"

Not really man this was pop music played on the radio. Innovative sure but it's not that challenging.

Rock and roll is pop, don't be obtuse.
Much of the acclaim of Pet Sounds has to do with Brian's "reclusive genius" image, as well as the unusual nature of the composition and recording. It's well documented that Wilson was an unusual soul, hearing sounds in his head and struggling to re-re-re-re-rehearse with the Wrecking Crew until they got it right. His use of atypical instrumentation (bike horns, sleigh bells, dogs, out-of-tune instruments) to achieve gorgeous melodies was unheard of. He's probably one of (if not the) most talented pop musicians of all time, even if he was overshadowed by the Beatles.
The compositions themselves are impressive as well.

The SMiLE Sessions (or any SMiLE version you prefer best) is his magnum opus, however.
Let's see an analysis of the music then.
It really isn't. The content of the music is superb, the mixing is satisfactory, and the lyrical themes are arguably still entirely relevant.
Most people don't turn their nose at good craftsmanship simply because it doesn't fit their pre-rendered posturing.
John Wright
she thought they were "too earnest"?
what does that even mean
Ryan Davis

>its pretty dated.
Yeah it's fucking half a century old. Being dated isn't inherently bad.
