Forever Changes

by Love

The 11th greatest album of all time

Forever Changes (1967) by Love blends folk rock, baroque pop, and subtle psychedelia into concise, orchestral-tinged songs. Arthur Lee's introspective and often unsettling lyrics sit against intricate acoustic guitar work and horn and string arrangements, creating a warm but melancholic chamber-pop sound that stands out in late 1960s American rock.
