Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })M.I.U. Album (Maharishi International University) is the twenty-second album by The Beach Boys. Released in 1977, it was recorded in the meditation center it is named after, although some of the material was previously recorded on previous album sessions.Before this album's release, the band originally planned two albums: First, Adult Child, another Brian Wilson solo album with little involvement from the other Beach Boys (in the same vein as Music/The Beach Boys Love You) which was ultimately cancelled after Brian's entourage thought it had no commercial viability at all (notably his cousin Mike Love who bluntly told him "What the fuck are you doing?"). After this, the band attempted to make a christmas album (simply titled Merry Christmas From The Beach Boys) but after their label Reprise Records requested an original studio album, it was also cancelled. However, some of the recorded songs were reworked (read un-Christmasified) which leads us to M.I.U. Album serving as some sort of compromise between those two previous cancelled albums, as well as the last album the Beach Boys made for Reprise Records. The album's original title was "California Feelin'" in reference to a song Brian recorded in 1974 (and would remain unreleased until 2013).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Recording the album at the Maharishi International University (located in Fairfield, Iowa) was suggested by Mike Love who was deep into transcendental meditation ever since he met the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi back in 1968. Mike and Al Jardine had way more influence on the album and Brian was demoted to the role of executive producer. Wilson brothers Carl and Dennis had very little involvement into the album's recording (especially Dennis who would consider this album an Old Shame) and Brian's mental health started to deteriorate since his psychiatrist Eugene Landy was fired two years ago. Some parts of the recording sessions were filmed for a making-of documentary called Our Team. You can watch an edited version of it here.Released with little to no promotion, the album charted at the 151st spot and received the lowest critical reception a Beach Boys album could get up to that point.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })
