9. I'll try...
Wilson's method of composing "pop" music on this album is one that is innovative yet not indecipherably complex. The term applied to his groundbreaking approach to songwriting has been deemed as "modular" - meaning that sections of songs (or miniature movements in the case of Smile) alternate back and forth from one another via key modulations that take place seemlessly and unobtrusively.

Plus, the harmonies and counterpoint he uses in some of the songs is just gorgeous on their own in my opinion...
