Love
Forever Changes
One of the first pop albums to become a cult classic Love's 1967 masterpiece Forever Changes' is the pinnacle of the LA freak scene Singer songwriter Arthur Lee's lyrics are increasingly fragmentary and paranoid foreshadowing the band's eventual drugfueled collapse Yet these dropdead hip tunes are set in arrangements featuring Herb Alpertstyle mariachi horns lush middleoftheroad strings and other tropes of the easy listening scene creating a more unsettling sense of tension than if the songs were given the usual heavy rock instrumentation Every single track is a stone classic forever changes belongs high on any halfway serious list of the greatest pop albums of the '60s LP 180 Gram Vinyl LP Limited to 3000 Copies on White vinyl
