How does Pet Sounds manage to sound so fucking dated compared to Revolver, which came out the same year?
How does Pet Sounds manage to sound so fucking dated compared to Revolver, which came out the same year?
Other urls found in this thread:
it's because the beatles were significantly better than the beach boys in basically every way (even brian wilson himself admits this)
another, more cynical way to look at it, is that the beatles were more influential so music hasn't evolved much past their dated sound
They’re both pretty dated imo, it’s just that psychedelic rock/pop like revolver has become a lot less popular that the chamber pop that was influenced so much by pet sounds
>it’s just that psychedelic rock/pop like revolver has become a lot less popular
She Said She Said sounds like every neopsych rock song
You fucking idiots should stop using terms you don’t understand.
seethe harder faggot
That shitty stereo mixing on Revolver is exactly as dated as Wall of Sound, but Wall of Sound actually tries to sound good
tomorrow never knows is just a shittier version of tape loop stuff that was happening in the goddamn 40s. i can't begin to imagine hearing any other song on revolver as anything other than dated unless what OP is actually telling on himself for is having a really cleaned up boosted remaster of Revolver that sounds more like modern albums and a more balanced copy of Pet Sounds that doesn't sound like Rick Rubin mastered it

I just think that the indie pop (Funeral, for example) is more prevalent than modern psychedelia like innerspeaker or something.
I think this could change because of the recent revival of psychedelic music with bedroom pop. The lack of psychedelic music from 1970 to 2000 or so just makes revolver sound dated.
What term do you think I misunderstand there? I'd love to educate myself, but since you're a faggot, I can't
Dated
Can we get a shared definition then?
HURRRRRR OLD STUFFFF DATEDDDDDDD
Dated means something that doesn’t become cringe in the next decade.
People love Revolver and Pet Sounds because they are musically timeless.
What are you talking about, dated literally means "no longer common". The Wall of Sound recording technique and the heavy reliance on Stereo effects are both no longer common recording methods
I don’t quite see how “cringe” fits into music. Old hip hop production is dated, but people still listen to it and it isn’t cringe
Idea isn’t dated because people are still making music trying to sound like that.
What are you talking about.
No it’s not.
Do you have examples of music that is dated?
Typically, an artists first album.
>Idea isn’t dated because people are still making music trying to sound like that.
It is demonstrably uncommon to do those things nowadays, especially when compared to the mid-late '60s
youtube.com
this is already heavily dated and it's been less than ten years
Based
Nobody is making music on an MPC, yet people try to replicate the sound.
Is you definition of “dated” music that is cringe because it was an overplayed single some years ago and no one cares anymore?
Like if a normie were to hear an old drake single and say “this song is so old”
Post some Psychedelic rock from the 40s then.
What is exceptional about Tomorrow Never Knows is that how tape loops are used in the context of Rock. Of course John Lennon or Paul McCartney didn't invent tape loops. Fucking retarded.
Revolver sounds as much like the 1960s as Pet Sounds does, bro. Gain an objective perspective or stop memeing.
Those sounds have been out of vogue since the '70s. Even if people were trying to resurrect them, trying to make something not dead anymore doesn't make it alive again
The "shitty" stereo mixing actually makes it sound better because they did very little processing to the sound and just plopped down the multis as-is
Pet Sounds, on the other hand, has a mono master that sounds like pure mud because of Brian's autism
But Revolver sounds more dated.
What the fuck are you talking about
Are you sure you aren't autistic? Because both the Pet Sounds mono and stereo mixes are different, but both are highly aesthetically pleasing and kino.
>stereo mixes
While pleasant, it is a modern remix, and a deliberate attempt to make the original mix sound less dated—which was a tacit admission that it was.
Anyone who complains about the stereo on revolver has never listened to it on something other than headphones and doesn’t understand how it was listened to at the time
Actually, it was a curiosity first included on the Pet Sounds Sessions box set, which was basically only created for superfans to give them a new perspective on what the album could sound like. It sounded great, but it is still the standard to include both the mono and stereo mix, as has been the case with both the 40th and 50th anniversary editions.
>How does Pet Sounds manage to sound so fucking dated compared to Revolver, which came out the same year?
Presumably OP is asking why the sonic fidelity of Revolver is so much better than Pet Sounds as it was released in 1966 and not 31 years later, you autistic pedant.
Neither even sound dated. What are you on about
