Love Forever Changes
Love Forever Changes release date February 2001

One of rock's most overlooked masterpieces, this third album by the L.A. folk-rock outfit led by inscrutable singer-songwriter Arthur Lee sounds as fresh and innovative today as it did upon its original release in 1968. With David Angel's atmospheric string and horn arrangements giving the work a conceptual underpinning, Lee explores mainstream America's penchant for paranoia ("The Red Telephone") and violence ("A House Is Not a Motel") with songs that are as sonically subtle and lilting as they are lyrically blunt and harrowing. Add two gems by Love's secret weapon, second guitarist Bryan MacLean ("Alone Again Or" and "Old Man"), and you've got one of the truly perfect albums in rock history. Rhino's deluxe reissue serves up seven bonus tracks, including outtakes, alternates, and the "Your Mind and We Belong Together"/"Laughing Stock" single.

Comments on Love Forever Changes

I like the music. In my personal opinion, this group it's one of the best of the sixties.

Love's Forever Changes showed the spiritual mystical side of the 60's no other album captured. This was much deeper than the other great "acid" inspired recordings of the day as it still stands the test of time. Songs like Alone Again Or & Between Clark & Hilldale have a Latin/Mexican sound of today. Bummer in the Summer sounds very much like an Indie band of today as well. Each song is different yet follows the thread of greatness & was I think the first "concept" album ever released. Another first for love.
All in all a complete masterpiece every music fan, regardless of genre should own.
