copypasta that i wrote incoming
1) eloquent lyrics that covers themes of isolation and dealing with change both in and outside oneself, as well as various songs dealing with romantic struggles, offer a lot of reliability for listeners of all ages. you have songs like Wouldn't It Be Nice which is basically written for young lovers who wish they were older, then you have songs like That's Not Me which resonates well with those who have come of age and gone off to college, and then you have songs like I Just Wasn't Made for These Times which is a song that resonates with literally anybody who's ever felt alone in the world.
2) the harmonies are not just "nice". they're the finest harmonies in pop. they don't exist to bolster the melody. the harmonies themselves are catchy and fun to follow. they swoop up, they dip down, they jump up and down the scale unpredictably. they don't serve the melody; they exist and are beautifully melodious on their own. it's a quality that you don't pick up until 4 or 5 listens, and you can most easily recognize this quality when listening to the vocal mixes for the first time.
3) the instrumentation was unlike anything at the time. just look at the Personnel section of wikipedia and look at all of the instruments that are used on this album. it's a literal orchestra of both conventional and unconventional instruments.
4) brian's production is really subtle but extremely fantastic. every single instrument (and obviously there are a lot of them) blends and creates one great big wall of sound and it all sounds beautiful when paired together. the fact that he managed to blend all of these instruments together and have it come out sounding not only like a cacophonous mess, but breathtakingly gorgeous, is probably one of the finest feats in the world of production.

It's a quality that you don't pick up until 4 or 5 listens, and you can most easily recognize this quality when listening to the vocal mixes for the first time. I can pick out a few choice examples if you'd like a place to start though.
