Pet Sounds is the eleventh studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on May 16, 1966, by Capitol Records. It was produced, arranged, and primarily composed by Brian Wilson with guest lyricist Tony Asher. Recorded largely between January and April 1966, it furthered the orchestral sound introduced in The Beach Boys Today! (1965). Initially promoted as "the most progressive pop album ever", Pet Sounds is recognized for its ambitious production, sophisticated harmonic structures, and coming of age themes. It is widely regarded as among the greatest and most influential albums in music history. Wilson viewed Pet Sounds as a solo album and attributed its inspiration partly to marijuana use and an LSD–rooted spiritual awakening. Galvanized by the work of his rivals, he aimed to create "the greatest rock album ever made", surpassing the Beatles' Rubber Soul and extending Phil Spector's Wall of Sound innovations. His orchestrations blended pop, jazz, exotica, classical, and avant-garde elements, combining rock instrumentation with layered vocal harmonies, found sounds, and instruments not normally associated with rock, such as French horn, flutes, Electro-Theremin, bass harmonica, bicycle bells, and string ensembles. Featuring the most complex and challenging instrumental and vocal parts of any Beach Boys album, it was their first in which studio musicians, such as the Wrecking Crew, largely replaced the band on their instruments, and the first time any group had departed from their usual small-ensemble pop/rock band format to create a full-length album that could not be replicated live.

这是“地下丝绒”的第一张专辑，也是摇滚乐历史上的一张划时代的经典之作。从专辑的名称上面可以清 楚地看到，这张专辑的诞生与西方现代艺术史上的伟大人物安迪·沃霍尔是密切相关的。这张“地下丝绒”的处女专辑就是由安迪·沃霍尔担任制作人的，而且专辑的名称也署上了他的大名。 在这张专辑里面，主唱卢·里德以他那干涩、沙哑的犹如破碎的玻璃一样的嗓音将1960年代美国青年对于现实的迷茫、反叛的态度表达得淋漓尽致，同时也对当时的社会现实作出了深刻的揭露。如在《我正在等待那个男人》这首歌里面，讲述的就是一个关于进行非法的海洛因交易的故事，把吸毒作为歌曲的主题，这在他们之前的乐队里面是非常罕见的，因此可以看出他们在音乐表达题材上面的大胆。而《星期天的早晨》这首歌则讲述了一个偏执狂在理想与现实之中挣扎的现实，他就像那个可怜的西西弗斯一样奔波在希望与绝望之间，这可以说是当时青年内心生活的真实写照。在《穿裘皮的维纳斯》这首歌里面，则表达了一个更为离经叛道的主题，那就是“性倒错”，他们以超越道德观的态度表达了自己对于“同性恋”这个当时还是一个禁忌的话题的看法。可见，他们在自己的音乐里面充分的体现了“自由”的精神，而这正是摇滚最为重要的精神财富。 在专辑之中担任了两首歌曲的主唱的女歌手尼柯，曾经主演过安迪·沃霍尔制作的几部电影，由于他的介绍，才成为了“地下丝绒”的一员。尼柯那种冷漠、飘忽，充满着厌世的没落气息的声音深刻地影响了后来无数的女歌手。
