Pet Sounds
Wilson himself felt bemused by the album's continued acclaim. In a 2002 documentary about the album, he commented, "It keeps going back to "Pet Sounds" here in my life, and I'm going, 'What about this "Pet Sounds"? Is it really that good an album?' It's stood the test of time, of course, but is it really that "great" an album to listen to? I don't know." Music journalist Robert Christgau, writing in 2004, felt that "Pet Sounds" was a good record, but believed it had become looked upon as a totem. By 2006, more than 100 domestic and international publications and journalists had lauded "Pet Sounds" as one of the greatest albums ever recorded.
