2008-12-23I know-this needs no detailled intro or extensive review-I'll just say it is one of the greatest albums ever made and it got me through some of my best worst times as a teenager. This album has always been an important peice of work, and I must have listened to it 1000's of times in my life-as a matter of fact I just listened to it in my car! The greatest album by the master mind and GENIUS ARTHUR LEE.
2008-11-12Some people (well, not too many I suppose) have put this album down because of its lack of memorable songs. I can understand that, the songs here don't hold up on their own as classics. But this album isnt about creating a bunch of sing-along tunes. It has to be regarded as a whole to be fully apprieciated. FOREVER CHANGES is about creating something (at least back then) unheard of. The songs are often mystical and a bit wierd, both in terms of music and lyrics. And the arangements are sometimes peculure but in an intresting way.
If you want some easy-listening, then forget this. But if you want something really orginal that works on other levels than great hooks, then chances are you're going to enjoy this. At least I do.
2008-11-06Many of the negitive reviews seem to focus on what a waste of money they spent. And warn others not to fall victum of the same mistake.
Well here's what, this is such a great album that I'll send anyone the money to buy it, if that's the only issue.
Howdy, Russ.
2008-10-26This is certainly one of the more creative efforts to emerge from the late '60s scene, blending a varity folk, psychedelic and pop styles. Yet the disc simpley doesnt live up to the lavish praise criticists have heaped on it since its reissue. There are too few hooks, and the production sounds both slick for its time and outdated for this time. Witness the Herb Alpert-style horns and the kind of string arangements that turned people off of The Doors' "Soft Parade." If you're looking for a forgotten masterpeice from this era, you're better off searching out Quicksilver messanger Service or Moby Grape.
2008-07-31"Oh, the snot has caked against my pants/It has turned into crystal."
That's how 'Live And Let Live' begins, and it is easy to see why this was Jim Morrison's favorite band. Acoustic guitars everywhere and beautiful harmonies The Beatles would love, and I could not recomend this anymore.
I have listened to "Pet Sounds" and while I tolerated it I didnt see what all the big deal was, but this...My introduction to Love was the song 'Always See Your Face' in the movie "High Fidelity" and instantly I had to know what it was. I listened to the song quite a few times, but this album is even better. After "Alone Again Or" I was hooked. While this album could easily be a soundtrack to a great music film never made, the closer 'You Set The Scene' plays like a film on its own.
"There's a private in my boat and he wears
Pins instead of medals on his coat
There's a chicken in my nest and she won't
Lay untill I've given her my best"
Does it really mean anything? I don't know, but I like it. And I think you will too.
