Customer Reviews for Forever Changes
Strange music
Rating:
Some 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 isn't about creating a bunch of sing-along tunes. It has to be regarded as a whole to be fully appreciated. FOREVER CHANGES is about creating something (at least back then) unheard of. The songs are often mystical and a bit weird, both in terms of music and lyrics. And the arrangements are sometimes peculiar but in an interesting way.
If you want some easy-listening, then forget this. But if you want something really original that works on other levels than great hooks, then chances are you're going to enjoy this. At least I do.

Many 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.
Editorial Reviews for Forever Changes Audio Cd

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. --Billy Altman
