  Forever Changes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Forever Changes (1967) is the third album released by the Los Angeles-based quintet Love.
Rolling Stone magazine ranked Forever Changes 40th in its list of the 500 greatest albums of all time in the December 11, 2003 issue.
Forever Changes was ranked 83rd in a 2005 survey held by British television's Channel 4 to determine the 100 greatest albums of all time.

 Forever Changes by Andrew Hultkrans - Book Review - Stylus Magazine
Andrew Hultkrans’ contribution to the 33 1/3 series, Forever Changes, describes the multitude of reasons Lee was convinced of his (and the world’s) impending doom and analyzes the landmark album as a document of the enigma that excluded himself from every revolution except his own beautiful one, Forever Changes.
If there are some moments of Forever Changes I still doubt, I at least realize why I doubt them; Hultkrans provides a solid explanation of not only the specific ambiguities, but also the reason for the album’s general inscrutability.
Moreover, Hultkrans defines Forever Changes’ uniqueness through Lee’s psychological and spiritual aversion to “going with the flow”, as so many hippies did, which further supports his argument that Lee was “‘not of this world’”, as Elektra boss Jac Holzman put it.

 village voice > music > Love, Forever Changes by Richard Riegel
Forever Changes held a message of dread up to those pretty melodies, found the void behind the Carnaby faces of those pastel vocals and guitars.
Forever Changes, but one is an actual outtake—the fully finished "Wonder People (I Do Wonder)," a love song as gorgeous as anything on the album, yet without the ominous undertone of the other songs (perhaps accounting for its 1967 exile).
The Forever Changes track best known in the marketplace thus far is its opener, the lilting "Alone Again Or." I've heard it both in a Miller beer commercial and in the ambient none-dare-call-it-Muzak mix while dining at Wendy's.

And if Love's Forever Changes isn't it, it is as close a facsimile as I could hope for.
The core founding group was on hand for Forever Changes, Love's third album, made in a relatively stable period for the band.
Lee is the unquestioned visionary at the center, serving as writer, singer, arranger and guitarist.

To the uninitiated, it helps to know that Love was Jim Morrison's favorite group; when "Forever Changes" was first issued in 1967, it was their third album for Elektra, who eventually signed The Doors and released that group's incredible debut the same year.
This album, Forever Changes, has now been played so many times that it long ago attained legendary status and generations of listeners now attest to the power, mysticism and beauty of this album.
Finally I want to note that one of the things that makes FOREVER CHANGES so important is that unlike any of the Beatles albums from the same time, it was created in and from the raw social upheaval of the time without the protective walls of material wealth that the Beatles enjoyed.

 Love: Forever Changes ---Ink Blot Magazine
Nothing on Forever Changes is what it seems, and if Lee's acid wisdom is compelling, it is also frightening, the negative image of a vulnerable psyche driven insane by too much pain.
His excellent band, Love, was in tatters, with none of the members even willing to learn their parts; his already sensitive soul was overburdened with misery and drugs; and the hippie dream had imploded in LA's summer heat.
But Forever Changes leaves us not with Lee the obsessed taskmaster, Lee the drugged lunatic, or even Lee the twisted drop-out.

Forever Changes is one of my all-time favorite albums and is one of the few I listened to as a youth that I never tire of hearing.
Most people I know who really like Forever Changes are of a thoughtful bent, so I would think that most who want to get beneath the surface of Lee's lyrics would be delighted by the approach here.
Bleaker and far more inventive (musically and lyrically) than most of its psychedelic peers, Forever Changes is a prophetic work, according to the author, because it described the seeds of destruction present in the naivete of the flower power movement.

It is the experience I encountered discovering "the Forever Changes concert" by Love.
Recorded at England's Royal Festival Hall, the concert is mostly a song for song rendition of "Forever Changes" with a few bonus tracks thrown in.
"Forever Changes" starts off with "Alone Again Or," the magnificent flamenco guitar and trumpet sounds like it could be released today and still be innovative.

Such was the spirit at the Royal Festival Hall, where, on January 15, 2003, Lee and Love recreated the Forever Changes album live in London for the first time.
What could have been a pathetic display -- Lee, the onetime star, performing old hits by rote -- actually becomes a transcendent experience through two virtues: inspired string and horn accompaniment from a Scandinavian eight-piece, and the sheer shock and relief that Lee is able to hold himself together despite his years of well-documented self-abuse.
The Forever Changes Concert does not take any liberties with the content of the legendary Forever Changes album, preferring note-for-note replication over re-imagining.

Thirty-five years after the release of his masterpiece Forever Changes in 1967, Arthur Lee performed the album live in London on 15 January 2003.
There was not much reason to expect any further noteworthy dispatches from Love, and hopes of a meaningful comeback by Lee were repeatedly dashed as he seemed unable to sustain the occasional flashes of brilliance in his infrequent post-1970s efforts.
The Forever Changes Concert is an excellent album with or without all this context, but, for people who have followed the ups and downs of Love, Arthur Lee, and Bryan MacLean, there is no finer pleasure than listening to Arthur Lee's triumphant return.

 The one true love - theage.com.au
In the annals of rock, Lee usually sits in the category "genius", though whether he belongs in the sub-category "eccentric" (alongside Beach Boy Brian Wilson) or "casualty" (next to Pink Floyd's Syd Barrett) is open to question.
The music on Forever Changes is powerful, exotic, surreal, occasionally demented and suffused with the unmistakable and heady scent of 1967 California.
By the time Forever Changes came out a year later, the band had shed much of its garage aggression in favour of something entirely different, music with a much lighter feel courtesy of prominent acoustic guitar, strings and horns.

Love also displayed a heaping dose of the Beatles circa "Rubber Soul," folk-rock via L.A. compatriots the Byrds (Lee originally linked up with MacLean because MacLean was a Byrds roadie and Lee thought he was likely to draw their crowd), and the lush, orchestrated soundscapes of Hollywood film scores.
MacLean quit Love after "Forever Changes," which was a commercial disappointment upon its release (though in the decades that followed, it would eventually reach gold-record status).
"'Forever Changes' were my last words of Love," he told Creem magazine in 1981.

 Forever Changes
Forssi said the latter took time as there were many chord changes in the song.
The theme of the song is clearly the repetitious nature of life ('look we're going round and round'), and the need for drug induced change.
The listener is urged to accept change through drugs and join the hippest.

Love's Forever Changes, a 1967 album widely hailed as a masterpiece of the psychedelic era, will be reissued in February, with seven bonus tracks added to remastered versions of the disc's 11 original songs.
"The songs on Forever Changes consistently hit the places where the political chaos of the time became indistinguishable from the psychic chaos," Werner said, noting that Lee's abstract lyrics were a perfect fit for the era.

Their last album to feature most of the original band, 'Forever Changes' was a concept album, and the only Love album to rely heavily on horns and strings.
You simply will not believe how good this bugger is! Lee speaks little between songs, but when he does, he's cordial and humble (a far cry from the egomaniacal self-destructive Lee of the past).
This set includes 'Forever Changes' in its entirety, and adds live versions of six more Love classics, including "7 and 7 is", "Orange Skies", "She Comes in Colors" and, the last cut on the disc, "August".

Recorded amidst a storm of drug addiction, ego battles and downright weirdness, Forever Changes remains both a cult classic and a fascinating document of the strange flip side of the Summer of Love.
It was written in a Hollywood mansion which had belonged to Bela Lugosi whilst under the influence of vast quantities of drugs.
Perhaps it was the shock of this that prompted the band, in the parlance of the times, to 'get their shit together' - Young and the session musos were banished and Love began recording their masterpiece.

Hell, Forever Changes is the result of a few guys with nothing to do dropping too much acid and thinking they should try out this music stuff, maaaan.
And making wrong things right, let me tell ya, is something that Love, that fabled Psych-Folk band based around the disturbed persona of Arthur Lee, specialised in: Forever Changes is the most pastoral album made by a racially integrated group ever, and it is (one has to admit) one silly motherfucker.

 Love / Forever Changes album review
The album Forever Changes is widely recognized as their pinnacle, a collection of songs that were perfect then and still are now.
Forever Changes fit right in with the new crop of adventurous, more serious rock that was being offered by groups like the Beatles, Byrds, and Zombies in a mind-expanded musical world of 1966-1967, where artists were finally figuring out that there was more to rock music than sunshine, lollipops, and fluffy million-selling singles.
Among the original 12 tracks that appeared on the vinyl release, there isn't a single weak song—a requirement for any album that tries to live up to the label "masterpiece" (which Forever Changes does easily).
