pet sounds |
 |
caroline no |
|
1990 schreibt Brian Wilson
folgendes
über die Motivation zu pet sounds:
"In December of 1965, I heard the album rubber soul
by
the Beatles. It was definitely a challange for me. I saw that every
cut was very artistically interesting and stimulating. I immediately went
to work on the songs for pet sounds." (Aus
dem Booklet.)
Den Erfolg, den die Beatles
mit
ihren Folgealben nach rubber soul hatten, konnte pet sounds nicht
verbuchen, auch wenn es sowohl in den USA als auch in D und GB in den Top10
war.
Wouldn't it be nice,
god
only knows und vor allem sloop john b sind zwar leuchtende Sterne
am Pop-Song-Himmel, dennoch reicht es für das gesamte Album nicht
zu einem Tipp. Die Flut von Lückenfüllern ist einfach erdrückend.
Ob die Kritiker des Rolling
Stone diese Füller nicht sehen, oder ob ihr Urteil von der Erinnerung
an die erste romantische Mondscheinnacht getrübt ist (im Autoradio
lief beim ersten Kuss sloop john b), vermag ich nicht zu beurteilen.
Für sie ist pet sounds ein "Geniestreich der Pop-Historie"
und daher auch unter ihren musikalischen Meilensteinen der 60er zu finden.
Wenn man seine Sicht auf
die Top10-Hits beschränkt, muss die Bewertung natürlich positiv
ausfallen: Folgende Zeilen hat wahrscheinlich die ganze Welt gesungen:
we come on the sloop john b
my grandfather and me
'round nassau town we do roam
drinking all night
got into a fight
well i feel so broke up
i wanna go home...
Und wenn man '66 noch nicht
das Licht der Welt erblickt hatte, dann hat man den sloopen John
spätestens im Gitarrenkurs nachgeträllert - oder zumindest hat
man das versucht... Aber das wird mir jetzt zu intim... |
