M.I.U. Album is the 22nd studio album by the American rock band the Beach Boys, released on September 25, 1978 by Brother/Reprise. Characterized for its easy-listening sound, the album was produced by Al Jardine and touring member Ron Altbach during one of the most acrimonious periods in the band's history. It sold poorly, peaking at number 151 in the U.S., and was met with confused reactions from critics and fans.
