Well, I'd have to say, who am I to judge if he's tormented or not? It's not like I have ever seen him, nonetheless seen him in an out of the public eye setting. Who am I to even begin to crack the surface of the man? I don't think I have the right to decide if he has angst or not. I can't tell him he does or doesn't.
The only thing I don't understand - where's the need to compare any of LB's work to anyone else's? It's not LB's "Pet Sounds". It's LB's Tusk. He wrote half the album, Brian Wilson did not. When he produced the album, Brian Wilson wasn't in there with him. I think one would get FM fans pissed if they called Rumours "FM's [Beatle's] White Album". Both are comparing apples and oranges and more importantly comparing to bodies of work that shouldn't need to be compared. They stand alone for a reason.
