Album Description
In Do It Again, A Tribute To Pet Sounds there are renditions that chase the footsteps of the original versions, but from a sort of parallel roads, while others break the mould directly. The sum of different personalities provides a sense of constant surprise: just imagine Will Oldham and Patrick Wolf in the same record, or Nobody and Daniel Johnston.

Customer Reviews

A question of balance
I cannot leave this album as a one star review, based on the only comment posted so far. If you are looking for a tribute type band, attempting to recreate the sound of the original album, then go no further. This is not for you. If you are looking for a bunch of extremely talented musicians who want to put their own spin on a classic album, step right up. I've only played the first 7 tracks and already am blown away. Wonderful stuff! I'm off to listen to part two, or do I go for delayed gratification and wait until tomorrow? God only knows.

A snuff flick approach to a classic album
If the artists could sing (they can't - they're almost to a man completely atonal), if they had any familiarity with, or understanding of, the music (they don't - many melodies are unrecognizable), and if they performed the music with more than a 30 second rehearsal (they didn't even prepare that much), this album would still the musical equivalent a snuff flick.
The artists must be a culling of crack heads from the recording studio's back lot. Many of the songs are unrecognizable, and the "minimalist" arrangements are not even up to the level of simply strumming the chords.
Thank God for the two instrumentals - at least no one "sings" on those.
The only vocal on this album worth even the first listen was Sloop John B, and that is nothing more than a simple campfire folk rendition.

I hope by now that you get my drift - this album is the musical equivalent of an enema. If Amazon allowed a zero star rating, even that would be too much.
