Tbh, idk if there's many other Beach Boys fans who think that Sunflower is equally good or as special as Pet Sounds like I do- I know that's probably hyping it up a *lot* but I really, genuinely do adore it on that level like few other albums
I don't know what it is about it, but it grew on me in a similar way that Pet Sounds did- merely liking it quite fine at first but then being sucked back into it for reasons that I didn't really understand
Like I initially thought Sunflower was pretty good, but I never understood the hype- but like all the best BB work, it's so deceptively simple! and it shows it's true form the more you listen- it has some of my favorite, most spiritual-sounding BB harmonies ever- incredibly infectious, genuine expressions of love of music & love itself- *amazing* & hypnotic production and an incredibly whole sound to it all- and with a whole group effort to boot, it's truly harmonic in every aspect for me that makes my brain feel at ease.
Even the songs I merely found okay or 'meh' at first I've grown to really, really like and I can't imagine the album without them now- it all sounds so of it's time, yet so ethereal, calming and timeless to me- and idk how the fuck they were able to do it in the rough shape the band was in at the time- it blows me away every time.
Like Sunflower is some of the most gorgeous, optimistic, and serotonin-inducing 70s sunshine pop I've personally heard- it's like listening to a vibrant, glowing rainbow in audio form for me
