From late-1976 to early-1977, Brian made sporadic public appearances and produced the band’s next album, The Beach Boys Love You . He regarded it as a spiritual successor to Pet Sounds , namely because of the autobiographical lyrics. Released on April 11, 1977, Love You peaked at number 53 in the US and number 28 in the UK. Critically, it was widely praised, though it initially met with polarized reactions from the public. Adult/Child , the intended follow-up to Love You , was completed, but withheld from release. Following this period, his concert appearances with the band gradually diminished and their performances were occasionally erratic.
