Review

Entertainment Weekly (8/11/00, pp.78-9) - "...BIG ONES brought Brian back for the dubious mission of arranging '50s oldies....far better is LOVE YOU...a primitivist, Moog-driven goof-fest that would forever cement Brian's legend as a not-so-faux naif savant..." - Rating: B-/A
Q (11/00, p.122) - 3 stars out of 5 - "...Marks the first 'Brian's Back' campaign....LOVE YOU did bring Brian back as the elder Wilson dominated proceedings....a flawed near-masterpiece..."
Mojo (Publisher) (10/00, p.120) - "...LOVE YOU is the group's one essential post-HOLLAND album....joyous reminders of what [Brian Wilson] was capable of writing. Fans of denim and deadpan humorists should seek it out ..."

This two-fer, which compiles two of the band's late-period albums, 1976's 15 BIG ONES and 1977's LOVE YOU, should give both critics and fans much to chew on. While not up to the caliber of milestones like PET SOUNDS and SURF'S UP, both sets contain the hallmarks of the Boys' best material: irresistible melodies, inventive, intricate arrangements, and melting harmonies from heaven.

15 BIG ONES, the album on which Brian Wilson re-teamed with the rest of the band after a hiatus of many years, alternates originals with covers such as "Rock and Roll Music" and "Chapel of Love." As usual, Wilson's compositions outshine the rest, as on the pop carousel of "It's OK" and the delightfully quirky "TM Song." The real treasure, however, is found on LOVE YOU. Though the brilliant studio sheen of classic Beach Boys production is absent here, what remains is an album of honest, original, idiosyncratic pop songs. A trip through Brian Wilson's warped, sunshine-splattered funhouse, LOVE YOU delivers up gems of sweet melancholy like "Let's Put Our Hearts Together" and the ridiculous, amazing "Johnny Carson." Ragged and intimate, LOVE YOU alone makes this disc a must for fans of the band and scholars of alternative pop.
