On this episode we let you, our loyal listeners and fans, pick the album we reviewed. That's right, its our first "Listener's Choice!" and you all picked a doozy: Forever Changes by Love.
Love's third album has come to be appreciated as a classic. Released around the time of the "Summer of Love", the album's lyrics and themes are not the "peace and love" you'd expect. Rather they seem to dwell on the inevitability of breakdown those lofty ideals.
Forever Changes is considered by many to be one of the greatest albums of the 1960s, and by some to be one of the greatest albums ever recorded. Regardless of whether you agree with that, there is no doubt that Forever Changes stands out as a truly unusual and unique artistic statement.
