Love You is the 1977 follow-up to The Beach Boys' comeback album 15 Big Ones and their eighteenth studio album overall. Almost entirely written and performed by Brian Wilson, it sharply divides critics' opinions from then and now on the project. Some feel that this record is Wilson's real return to form in the 1970s. Others feel it marks the point where Wilson seemingly lost the ability to produce and sing at a professional level.

  • Love You is the 1977 follow-up to The Beach Boys' comeback album 15 Big Ones and their eighteenth studio album overall. Almost entirely written and performed by Brian Wilson, it sharply divides critics' opinions from then and now on the project. Some feel that this record is Wilson's real return to form in the 1970s. Others feel it marks the point where Wilson seemingly lost the ability to produce and sing at a professional level. A pop/rock album full of Brian's recent songs, Love You has a unique and distinct sound. It was during the album's recording that Wilson made his awkward Saturday Night Live appearance on November 27, introducing "Love Is a Woman" for the first time. Many of the songs contained here have a very childish quality to them ("Roller Skating Child", "Airplane", and "Solar System" are examples of this) and, while attempting to be an up-beat album, it does conjure up a sense of melancholy when one considers that these naive songs are being created and performed by a man who had regressed to a child-like state in the wake of years of drug-affected emotional abuse. Not all of the songs were strictly new, a few having been written during the 15 Big Ones period, but more specifically "Good Time", which hailed from the 1970 Sunflower era, and "Ding Dang", which was co-written with The Byrds' former leader Roger McGuinn and recorded in late 1973. "Good Time" is a particularly anomalous inclusion because, unlike the rest of Love You, it features Brian's original sweet voice before that was lost in a haze of heavy tobacco and cocaine use in 1975. Indeed, on the other tracks Wilson's voice is so gruff that it can be difficult to distinguish him from his also newly hoarse brother Dennis. A trilogy of love songs, "The Night Was So Young", "I'll Bet He's Nice" and "Let's Put Our Hearts Together" (with soon to be ex-wife Marilyn on co-lead) was a throwback to the topics of the Pet Sounds era without approaching their sophistication. Considered by some to be The Beach Boys' last truly great album, others have found the release's unconventional sound difficult to swallow. Released just after announcing the band's new record deal with CBS Records, Reprise Records put little promotion into the album, and with the advent of disco and punk, The Beach Boys' commercial steam had run out once again. Peaking at a disappointing fifty-three in the U.S. (and a marginally better twenty-eight in the UK), Love You was overlooked and soon forgotten by the mainstream pop music audience. However, many Brian Wilson fans all continue to claim for it an awkward beauty and high level of musical creativity. In recent years, Brian Wilson has called it his favourite Beach Boys album.

  • ラヴ・ユー (Love You) は、1977年にリリースされたザ・ビーチ・ボーイズのアルバム。本作の大半がブライアン・ウィルソンによって創り上げられた。ビーチ・ボーイズのカムバックと謳われた前作に対し、多くの批評家が本作が本来の意味でのブライアンの1970年代におけるカムバックと考える。ブライアンが全曲の作曲に関わったビーチ・ボーイズのオリジナル・アルバムは『スマイリー・スマイル』と本作のみである。 ブライアンは1976年当時のセラピスト、ユージン・ランディ博士の助けを得て、実質的なソロ・アルバム『Brian Loves You』を、当時市販されて間もないポリフォニック・シンセサイザーを用いて創り上げようと試みた。同時にビーチ・ボーイズ用として、仮称『The New Album』というアルバムをグループで制作していた。結果ほとんどの曲を『Brian Loves You』から転用し、『The New Album』から「ホンキン・ダウン・ザ・ハイウェイ」のみを転用して仕上げたのが、本作『ラヴ・ユー』である。ブライアンは本作収録期間中の11月27日にアメリカNBCテレビの番組『サタデー・ナイト・ライヴ』に出演し、未発表だった「ラヴ・イズ・ア・ウーマン」をいち早く演奏した。
  • Love You é o décimo-oitavo álbum da banda de rock americana The Beach Boys, lançado em 1977. Quase inteiramente escrito e realizado por Brian Wilson, acentuadamente, divide opiniões dos críticos de então e de agora. Alguns acham que este registro é o verdadeiro retorno de Wilson nos anos 70. Outros acham que marca o ponto em que Wilson aparentemente perdeu a capacidade de produzir e cantar em um nível profissional. Um pop-rock cheio de canções recentes de Brian, Love You tem um som único e distinto. Foi durante a gravação do álbum que Wilson fez sua desajeitada aparição ao vivo no Saturday Night Live, em 27 de novembro, cantando "Love Is a Woman" pela primeira vez. Muitas das músicas contidas aqui têm temas muito infantis para eles ("Roller Skating Child", "Airplane", " e "Solar System" são exemplos disso) e evocam uma sensação de melancolia, quando se considera que essas canções ingênuas foram criadas e executadas por um homem que tinha regredido a uma criança, como resultado, na sequência de anos, do abuso de drogas e emocional afetado. Nem todas as canções são rigorosamente novas, algumas tendo sido escritas durante o período de 15 Big Ones. "Good Time" foi escrita na época de Sunflower, em 1970, e "Ding Dang", que foi co-escrita com o líder dos Byrds, Roger McGuinn, foi gravada no final de 1973. "Good Time" é uma inclusão especialmente estranha porque, ao contrário do resto de Love You, apresenta a voz original e doce do Brian de antes e que foi perdida numa névoa de uso de tabaco e cocaína em 1975. Com efeito, percebe-se em outras faixas do disco que a voz de Brian está tão debilitada que se torna difícil distingui-la da de seu irmão, também recém-rouca, Dennis Wilson. Uma trilogia de canções de amor, "The Night Was So Young", "I'll Bet He's Nice" e "Let's Put Our Hearts Together" (com Marilyn Wilson, esposa de Brian na época) foi uma volta aos temas do Pet Sounds sem se aproximar de sua sofisticação. Considerado por alguns como o último grande álbum dos The Beach Boys e por outros como “difícil de engolir”, Love You foi lançado logo após ser anunciado o fechamento do negócio da banda com a CBS Records (atual Sony Music), o que fez a Reprise Records fazer pouca promoção do álbum. Isso, aliado ao advento do punk e da disco, tornou o disco mal sucedido. Culminando em um decepcionante cinqüenta e três, nos Estados Unidos (e um melhor vinte e oito ao Reino Unido), Love You foi logo esquecido pelo público. No entanto, muitos fãs de Brian Wilson continuam a reivindicar para ele uma beleza estranha e alto nível de criatividade musical. Nos últimos anos, Brian Wilson disse que este é seu álbum preferido do Beach Boys. Love You está emparelhado em CD com 15 Big Ones.
