Da Capo

they wish they were The Rolling Stones. (They were not)

pretty good psychedelic album, had a little folk sound.

Interesting but not amazing

Sounds like the 60's which normally I like a little but this didn't hit at all

Oh man, this reminds me of the days I'd go out by the countryside and go fishing with Pa. Good, if a little unmemorable besides the last song where he sounds like he's having a mental breakdown part way through.

The album feels like it was all building to the last song, but what a last song it was lmao

This feels like a 3 or 3.5 on some songs, then kicks it into high gear on some others. Not boring though! I am actually finding that to be my main criteria in going through the 1001. Since so many are bland as fuck! Anyway, this one is like a 3.5 because I like it, but it's not *great*. Some songs are definitely not my jam. But I'm rounding up because I've never heard anything quite like it, so even if it's not GREAT, or not quite my jam at times... It's still cooler than most of my 3s. 🤷 And yeah, the last song seals the deal on the 4*s. It's batshit insane, and I love it. 👍

Enjoyably chaotic

One of, if not my favorite, thing about Love's other album, Forever Changes, was the strings present that made it stand out from most other psychedelic rock that was around at the time. However, this earlier album seemed to be going for a more forward thinking stance on the genre. That is not a bad thing, as there are some songs here I like just as much if not more so than Forever Changes, but it also blends in more with artists like the Rolling Stones and other hits from the time. None of that is more evident than with the needlessly long final tune on the album that feels like a jam session that really didn't need to be on the album and got quite annoying after a while. Is it interesting for 1966? Perhaps, but it really brings down the rest of the albums pretty rock solid line up into something that feels more "holier-than-thou" in its production, and I lose interest in the four star I was thinking for the album. Had it been the beginning or even the middle of the album then perhaps I could forget about it and still warrant the four, but putting it at the end leaves a sour taste in my mouth that really middles the album out. Hearing people having sex (or pretending to) has never been one of my favorite genres of music, and someone yelling in my ear about it for nineteen minutes is, I imagine, no one's cup of tea. This is a cool album, in theory, but at the end of the day hating half the album really doesn't seem fair to my other four stars.

opening track gave me immediate joy. it's very theatrical. i like the flute!

Is nobody going to talk about how the guy in the center of the album cover was clearly the inspiration for Han Solo?

Something about Love just hits right for me. Psychedelic haters be damned.

The songs vary quite a bit. They’re intriguing. I imagine it would have sounded amazing in 1966.

Love is one of the greatest.

Strong 6

This was nice and short thankfully. The last song gave me anxiety

'She Comes in Colours' DISGUSTING ONE STAR

Sorta fine init

ok 60's tunes

This sounds like it’s from a musical I think. Hard to describe what I mean. Maybe I’m losing it.

I thought it was INTERESTING but Forever Changes is substantially better and also that album isn't like hard panned left Favorite Tracks: Stephanie Knows Who, Que Vida 3.5-4/5

Between a 3 and a 4, I could appreciate its imagination and energy, but wouldn't want to listen to it too often

"Seven and Seven" is a great song. "The Castle" was catchy and "Stephanie Knows Who" is pretty good as well. This album sounds like they got caught between psychedelic and what would become "classic" rock. Good when they're good, forgettable when they're not.

Eclectic 60s rock album that goes through a lot of styles such as garage and folk but is mainly a psychedelic album kind of like an early Doors. It took a while to get used to the vocals and the songs are not always my favorite but it was a decent album. Revelation is also very long but was mostly enjoyable to listen too as long as you’re in the right mood.

Okay, NOT what I was expecting. Not bad - would listen to it again if someone wanted to, but not going on my regular rotation

Loads of elements I like but the way they’re mixed here just doesn’t work for me. Admirable stuff, but I don’t think I’d listen again.

It's starts a bit mediocre but it ends in psych epicness. Oh how to score!

I listened to this album essentially right after I got up for the day so it was different to listen to something in the morning vs the afternoon. That being said I feel like this was the perfect album to do that with. It's very peaceful but still upbeat. I thought it was pretty decent! The closing song on the album takes it down a couple points for me though, I personally think there's better psychedelic bands/albums.

Better than the other one

Some of this album is ok, some of it is pretty good. The last tracks goes pretty hard and it's over half of the runtime of the entire thing. If some of the shorter songs had better singing or had more substance I would've really loved this one. Score: 60 Art: 70

Sounds of the era - I liked the flute. Could do without the B Side. 2.5

Was ok. Nice gentle guitar. Did not compel me to relisten

Pretty good early psych

A psychedelic rock album that had some trouble knowing what it wanted to sound like. It was short which is good.

Another example of an album that is an important stepping stone to make rock more interesting and sophisticated. While labelled as psychedelic rock it can also be put under the subgenre proto-prog rock. I love the works with the flute. But the vocals! Argh! No, that doesn't really work. I stay with the actualy classics of the genre(s).

Love is a tragically under-appreciated band.

Interesante concepto para su tiempo con canciones faciles de olvidar.

It's not as good as Forever Changes, but I guess we have to take Love in whatever form it comes. Side one is a nice eclectic journey through the subgenres of 60s rock, doing most of them pretty well. Funny that Revelation was unanimously panned by the band members. I mean, I also care very little for 18 minute jam sessions, but loads of people seem to lap that kinda shit up.

groovy

It's like what happens when someone takes too much acid.

Classic rock album, the finale of which is nearly 20 mins long and features some impressive musicianship

I feel like this might have all the elements to be a 5 star album in there somewhere: There’s some whirling organ in there, funky flute, protopunk yet jazzy vibes. Ooh but the delivery really isn’t doing it for me, I’m not usually one to use the word as an insult but damn this shit is gay at times. Interesting to read that She Comes in Colours came before She’s Like a Rainbow though. Seems like one had a pretty heavy influence over the other, but I would have guessed it was the other way around. Side one could almost make it to half marks but the 20min shouty jam on the B-side is not my bag at all.

The first album generated that I had never heard any song from before. I like the punk-y songs. I loved the opening song. The closer is really good, if a little long. I don’t love the baroque pop aspect like I do the faster punk stuff. I bet this is an album that would grow on me the more I listened.

Too many genres and weird vocal choices by the lead singer

Mfs be scared to moan i be in her ear like:

Another band I wasn’t really aware of. I’ve gotten more appreciation for the style of music through this project.

Jazz and medieval infused rock from 1966. Side 1 is a mostly listenable set of songs, side 2 comprises a single 18 minute track that decends into the band taking turns to play approximations of animal noises. Experimental, especially for 1966, but the creativity is perhaps at the expense of enjoyment. Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: ¡Qué Vida! Date listened: 17/05/23

Always a sucker for this era, and this had some really forward-thinking and bold stuff throughout it.

Love still equates to my feeling about this group.

It’s the same every time: some of it I really like, and some of it not so much.

Noe bra, noe mindre bra

Wtf så bra!! Aldri vært borti før

I liked it I think? it was pretty good

Ok

This album could have been an email.

It's good but I wish it were better. It jumps too often between garage, psychadelica, surf, lounge pop, blues, and so on to be really consistent. I liked the songs but I wish they were slightly tighter, either with more catchy and accessible hooks, or more obtuse and intellectual. But I'm now very excited to hear their next album on this list. 28/04/23

Love is a band from L.A., USA Genre: Psychedelia, hard rock, jazz rock 2nd Studio from Love Singles from Da Capo: ----------------------------- 7 and 7 Is / No. Fourteen (#33 USA) Stephanie Knows Who / Orange Skies (Did Not Chart) She Comes in Colors / Orange Skies (Did Not Chart) ¡Que Vida! / Hey Joe (Did Not Chart) Rating: 2.5

listen

wow the music feels so ancient. not for me. wtf is the explosion sound in the middle.

Very 60s. I felt like I was in an Austin Powers movie. Psychedelic. Not for me.

Yep, that was definitely Love. 60s flute aplenty. Last track went on a bit.

This one was ok, at time the sax solos stood out, but it was mostly unmemorable Appreciated that it was fairly short 2.5/5

I'm so torn here. These guys were obviously pushing the boundaries, and "7 and 7 Is" is really a bop, BUT I dunno. That out-of-tune flute on "She Comes in Colors" docks a star immediately. There's the germ of genius here, but it comes across as accidental much of the time.

Dnl

- Only ever listened to Forever Changes before and that was years ago - Thought this was really good, much better than I'd expected - The second half of Revelation was the highlight - Fav songs: Revelation, Orange Skies, The Castle

I was not familiar with this album at all, having really only known about the follow-up to this album, "Forever Changes," and of course being familiar with the single "7 and 7 Is" from watching Bottle Rocket my whole life. This album is great, it's tight and it's weird and rocking, before settling in to the sprawling closer. Definitely enjoyed it and happy to have more context to this band.

5th April 2023 Listened while working from home and had the kitchen fitted. Heady mix of folk, punk, blues and chamber music with soft melodic vocals. Not particularly memorable though.

Let's go! I loved it from the first second. Baroque harpsichord, rock and roll sax, a waltz, staccato guitars and the lead singer in the throes of a very entertaining frenzy-slash-nervous breakdown... There’s a lot to like here. There is a syrupy, Dusty Springfield-esque ballad, a proto-punk banger, abnormal song structure, HARPSICHORDS, etc. They kind of sound like the Doors but before the Doors. And I love the Doors! Also, in doing my reading about this band I found out they were one of the first racially diverse rock bands ever. I can get down with that. Nonetheless, I wanted to give this a 4 but am knocking it down to a 3 because the last track ruins all the goodwill of the ones that come before it. Horrible song.

I expected to like this but it didn't really hit the mark. So many other psychedelic bands did it better and with more memorable songs.

Ok so its a Door's sound. cool a 45 minute jam session on the back. The last track is actually not the worst jam I have ever heard and I didnt mind it on the album. I also didnt think too much of the album but such is life I guess.

This isn’t the Love album people should listen to. It’s a bit thin.

More fineness

Vreemd album, beetje barok soms

This is like if the Rolling Stones were doing too little or too much cocaine, instead of just the right amount. Not a fan except for the last song which has an instrumental bit that's kind of cool.

Side 1: Standard non-engaging US psych reminiscent of the musical "Hair". 1-2/5. Side 2: Holy smokes, what a track 'Revelation' is! Clocking in at 18.57, I was completely captivated during its entirety. Around the 5-8 minute mark there is a section strongly driven by the bass, where Ken Forssi is as close to being too early on the 1-beat as you can get while still being on time. The groove shift at 12.40 is pure bliss, and of course the whole thing concludes on a ridiculous baroque ending. This is everything I want from a psychedelic track.

This is a semi-bumpy ride. The first side is quite forgettable but still shines on tracks like “Orange Skies” and “The Castle”. Then there’s the B-side - entirely made up of one single 19-minute song. Where on Earth did that suddenly appear from? An absolute beast of a track. Luckily it takes up half the album and completely overshadows the somewhat lackluster first half.

Ummm… no.

Ahead of their time but it doesn't male it good. 2 good songs so 2 stars.

It's pleasant, but I wanted to make an album that was a spoof of early psychedelic music - it would sound like this.

This album grew on me the further on it played

Track 1: Unhinged version of \"What's up, pussycat\" by Tom Jones. Track 2: Sick flute, vocal verse is very odd Track 4: I kind of like this one; manic psyche punk rock? Overall, pretty interesting. It devolved a little too much into psychedelic rock in the second half of the album, so kind of started to lose my interest.

Pretty good album, only brought down by the last song. Without last song 4/5 With last song 3.5/5

I’m familiar with Forever Changes, but Love’s other stuff has eluded me. I really liked the extended jam on side B, which sounds like a refined “In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida”. The first side also has some good songs, and a surprising amount of variety and solid musicianship to it. When I think that I don’t like hippie stuff, it’s really just Grateful Dead, and mostly Jerry Garcia’s voice. Otherwise, some of it is pretty cool. B

Cool stuff - 3 stars

not sure of what I'm hearing

It feels weird to hear my name in a song. The vocal style is definitely interesting, and the music itself isn't bad. It might just be the vocals throwing me off, not sure. For sure psychedelic. Fave track(s): Stephanie Knows Who

The mess is nothing short of funny here. I'm tempted to throw a bone out of interest, but far more interesting is the gap between this effort and Forever Changes. The terrible harpsichord as a closing not really did it. Meanwhile 7 and 7 Is passed by essentially in silence.

Preferred their next album but this is solid

Cool grooves, but too much self-indulgent cheese.

Gotta love a Harpsichord! Most of the album felt light and fun, Revelations would probably be awesome live, but here felt like a bit of a slog.

Con letras y un sonido hermoso que se derrumba y se transforma en anarquico en el lado b, este disco sabe mostrar lo que es un disco de rock. Experimenta, habla y sobre todo deja huella de canciones hermosas y destructivas. Un disco que parece vigente y de los 70 casi 80, cosa que no es poco para un lanzamiento del 1966. Por eso y por muchi mas esto es un 8/10

Twiddly and fiddly and twee and long. Was glad when it was over. I don't like psychodelic rock.

Ok

Dull, mid-sixties gumpf. And that last track just goes on forever... Best Tracks: Orrange Skies; Que Vida!; Seven and Seven Is

Oh man. Who came first? These guys or the doors? They sound so similar.

I just really don't know what to say for this one. It's a bit all over the place. Oh that's cute! Oh that's weird! My, that's a long solo! We're screaming now? Was that one of those old cow mooing toys? I haven't seen one of those in a long time! Six songs and then an interminable jam? I have said before that I love the spirit of experimentation that was so free and unselfconscious in the late sixties, but also know that lots of it didn't work out. This was my first album by Love, and from what I can tell, they were indeed working to find their sound. Some worked here, some didn't for me.

The album started out with some enjoyable rock from the 60s with kind of a psychedelic feel. Then something changed and I started to not enjoy it. The final track with a jazz vibe was kind of nice, without the screaming. Overall, just not something that I found all that delightful.

The first few tracks I can only describe using the non-word "prancy" --- maybe it brought to mind circus ponies? I came into "She Comes in Colors" expecting something like the Stones' "She's a Rainbow" but got Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" instead --- either would have been fine and this is by far the best track. I don't think I'll remember much about the rest.

Wow this is quite an album… I loved the 60s feel, then at the end “Revelation” goes totally wild… 19 minutes of groovy goodness! I love that this project is serving up some really amazing 60s music that I have never heard of before.

Very 60 / hippy style music. Overall not bad, bit entire album too much for me.

I listened to this yesterday and now I'm struggling to remember what it sounded like, so I guess I was pretty neutral about it? I was surprised to find out this was made in the mid-60s. I thought it was about 10 years newer. Either way, this was alright!

good album.

An interesting album I'd never heard before. Strong proto-punk elements, especially 7 and 7 is. Second half is a 40 minute jam session. Bit rambly, but interesting in places

Not quite sure what this band was going fit when they made this. One of the jazzy parts were actually okay but that was about it. It seemed that the various song styles and weird lyrics had no direction at all. I didn’t enjoy this much and probably won’t revisit it. 4.3/10

Dobar :Psychedelic Rock:, početak bar što se tiče ove grupe jer su nakon ovog albuma napravili veoma jak preokret i napravili odličnu psihodeliju od albuma, kvalitetnu. Ovo je pohvalno isto, ali nije u istoj ladici.

Pretty standard psych rock I think. Enjoyed it but didn’t think it was spectacular.

а ну, как-то не так, никак, норм

A really enjoyable 60's sound. Can hear where The Doors got their influence. But Side B really didn't do it for me

Conocía su famoso "Alone again" este disco no está mal, pero no tiene nada que destaque para mi gusto. Se va a quedar en un 2. No lo veo imprescindible. Como interesante el tema de 19 minutos final con solos de ¿saxo o clarinete? que me han recordado a cosas actuales como "Black Country, New Road".

Usually I like psychedelia in hard rock to a certain degree and then it sort of gets a bit much for me. A bit much weirdness, unpleasant dissonance, lack of direction, etc. While it definitely has some parts I enjoy (notably the parts where they sound rather similar to Genesis), this album crosses that line for me. 3.5 rounded down. Definitely not horribly - but I'll rather just listen to Genesis instead.

What a journey

This doesn't really stand out for me with most music from that time period, so it's ok.

really early rock where a bunch of white guys are just trying stuff a la blues

this is a uniquely diverse album for the 60s. "seven and seven is" is definitely one of the hardest rocking songs of the 60s and probably one of the best proto-punk songs. the lyrics of "she comes in colors" were definitely ripped off by the rolling stones' "she's a rainbow" but both songs are still good in their own right. some of the slower songs don't do it for me as much but when they work, they really do. "revelation" is a great blues jam song to end the album though i don't know if it quite justifies its length. overall, this album definitely surpassed my expectations.

Ahead of its time in its protopunk leanings, *Da Capo* is also a good example of early psychedelic rock, with a few great tracks on side A. I'm glad I have this album at home, along with *Forever Changes*. But if the latter obviously needs to be in this list, I'm not so sure about that other record. That long overlong jam on side B has its moments, but it sounds more like an interesting curio than a masterpiece today. On a sidenote: I have always felt that "critcs" did unfairly malign the record following *Forever Changes*, released right after the band's line-up dramatically... changed. To me, *Four Sails* was at least as good as *Da Capo* when it came to point towards the future. And it had incredible openers and closers. Maybe someone should write a book named "1001 *Underrated* Albums That Deserve To Be ListenedTo". Some records in Dimery's orignal list could find their way into it. And others he snubbed could either go into that 'B' list OR in a brand new 'A' list. Number of albums left to review or just listen to: less than 700, I've temporarily lost count here Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens:  approximately a half so far  Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: a quarter (including this one) Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): the last quarter

Aside from "Seven and Seven Is", this album is largely even with contemporaries and doesn't stand out. The notable thing from Love is that they were a racially integrated band when that was and still is far too uncommon.

Klassisk rock, helt ok.

Music felt pretty par for the course of this era. Story behind some of it is more interesting but eh

Revelation is like Yoko Ono's screams but instrumental

4.0

Weird but really good

I didn't really get into this album. The singer would have been a great punk singer, but I didn't like his constant screaming in this psychedelic album. And the instrumentation was all over the place. I just didn't really get it.

Why, why, why [Delilah]? It's not the worst album ever handed to me here, but it definitely ranks at or near the top of "why the f*ck is this album here in the first place" department (an all too popular department, I have to add).

Raar geval: kant 1 is oersaaie pretentieuze babyboompop, en daar loop ik me te ergeren aan de stem van de zanger. Kant 2 is veel leuker, daar jammen ze gewoon een eindje weg en lopen ze lekker te blèren. Vanwege de matige A-kant toch maar twee sterren.

Het meeste klinkt heel simpel. Een paar uitzonderingen. Dan zit het er weer helemaal naast.

Het is me het weekje wel. We krijgen het goed te verduren met semi-obscure, zweverige snob- en/of boomermuziek. Ik denk vol weemoed terug aan de weken van Sjors/Elten/Broes en Sam/Aretha/David.

Forever Changes e nog bättre men dehä va helt jännä

Eeeeeeeehhhh

As someone who knew this band solely for Forever Changes this was a suprise. And I’m all for more varied, experimental and complicated songs. Perhaps it doesn’t reach the highs of the previously mentioned album but it’s certainly up my alley

Kool

This album was all over the place, but I was strangely down for it! From the first song that reminded me of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror...to other songs that were Rolling Stones-esque...to the chaos of the last song - it definitely seems like this band couldn't figure out what they wanted their lane to be but at least it was interesting!!

I was actually a fan of this album. Certainly not one of the best albums for the 60s but it was a fun listen.

Something on Spotify described this as “Baroque pop” and that’s actually quite accurate. This is a very mid 60s British sound with the Baroque twist.

Not exactly sure what I just listened to... it was weird. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it.

Da Capo means da top-o. Not really my thing but it wasn't terrible.

Psychedelic sound: just not my jam.

Really interesting album. Hearing a lot of different styles and unusual melodic turns (Que Vida, for example). Lots of variability in tempo and feel. All in the first 6 songs. And then the album finishes with a 19 minute jam track. I need to be in the right mood to come back to this, but I hope I do.

J'ai trouvé ça correct, mais j'avais un peu l'impression de tourner en rond. Ça ne m'a pas vraiment interpellée.

Terrible stuff, even worse than The Doors! I thought "7 and 7 Is" and "The Castle" were alright. The latter half of "Revelations", after all of the whooping and masturbatory grunting was finished, was fairly passable. Other than that, it's a no from me. I'm tempted to give this a 1, but I know they probably did influence a lot of later 60s bands. I can't think of anyone else who was making music like this in the mainstream pre 1967.

Because it was so short, I gave this a second listen. My first opinion was I want whatever the lead singer is on, the lyrics are all over the place. I enjoyed the music overall, although I don't think I'd listen to this again after a second time.

Barn síns tíma, en jú, ágætis stöff á köflum.

You can sometimes tell the genre the band comes from by their name. Love certainly gives it away. The harmonica is interesting. Otherwise, 60s sound.

I think very highly of Forever Changes and was hoping to find more here to enjoy. Unfortunately this is not my cup of tea. It is still a sound of its time and doesn't really have anything as catchy. And then... 19 minutes of Revelation push this off the cliff. No interest in more.

These songs are so rambly, I'm having trouble caring about them. This thesis - or lack thereof - seems appropriately summarized by the 18 minute noodly jam a the end. Who needs it?

Just happened to have picked up an old copy of this at a record sale a few weeks ago. Side A is fantastic. They have such a dynamic range! They can go from an incredibly intense, almost proto-punk energy, to sweet baroque pop on a dime. Always enjoy Arthur Lee's unique arrangements, structures, and phrasing. However, I feel the album is held down by the loose sidelong track "Revelation." It comes across like filler to complete a contractual obligation and piss label execs off.

This album started out a 3 but as it went on I was more and more into it. Around 7 and 7 is I was like "wait, is this Malcom Mooney from Can"? Definitely some similarities on some of these later tracks with the free experimentation of Krautrock which I was into. Revelation was nuts, a bit too long but I can appreciate the energy. Apparently the next album is their most acclaimed so I'm hoping that comes up on the list!

From most to less liked: 1. She comes in colors 2. Orange Skies 3. Revelation (Some parts are "meh" tho) 4. ¡Que Vida! 5. The Castle 6. Stephanie Knows Who - LP / Stereo Version 6. Seven and Seven Is

I don't quite know why, but this shit slaps! Revelation almost carried this to a 5

Favs: -She comes in colors

actually muito nice overall só bati mal com o facto do spotify ter uma deluxe version com as músicas umas vez em mono e outra em stereo e eu a achar que eram músicas diferentes :thumbsup:

I quite enjoyed this but wouldn't return to it

Not for me I’m afraid.

You don't have to listen to this for more than a few seconds to easily identify this is 1960s California.  (if the band's name didn't already get you there). It has some pretty good instrumentals including guitar and harmonicas.

I "loved" the Forever Changes album (that 1001 sent us) so I was disappointed after the jarring vocals on the first track and then again on "Seven and Seven", which is might make them a candidate for being a pre-punk band. The rest of the songs, outside of the needlelessly long "Revelation", sound better to my ears and are moving in the direction of that elegantly produced psychedelic meets baroque pop sound that they nailed a year later.

For me the 60s is like a lost decade. I prefer the music from the 50’s and 70’s instead. In the 60s many bands were transitioning to proto garage/psychedelic and this album exemplifies this. For some reason music in the 70s just sounds more appealing to me.

Me aburrió

Listens: 2 Enjoyed: I didn't hate it Most of the album just seems messy. The last track is the highlight

Uh, yeah not sure what's going on here.

Well, this is kinda a mess, but also not completely without charm! Psychedelia, but occasional dips into heaviness. I can almost, but not quite, stretch to a 4. 3.5, if that were a thing.... Fave track - "¡Que Vida!" has quite a fruity melody that threatens to become an earworm...

Heavy metal Beach Boys? All hail the drum solo!

Good band, bad songs.

An interesting first side with some exotic colour added via flute and harpsichord but it's let down by the indulgent jam taking up the whole of side two. A wasted opportunity.

Hippy nonsense

It was all going okish until someone thought an 18 minute unstructured mess of a track was a good idea. It wan't.

I like Love's sounds they are a lot more raw than other acts of the time and their big hits are fantastic. Nothing in this album particularly moved me though. I can only assume Forever Changes is somewhere else in the list of greatest albums? And the one with Just Be Thankful For What You Got on it?

During the first 6 tracks I was thinking why is this a noteworthy album, then the closing track is 18 minutes long... and that sounded like a overindulgent jamming session. It's not terrible, just not that interesting.

Kind of wierd, but at least nice and short! Jaunty. Weird pauses in the songs?

Absolute blast.

I wanted something different and I got it. Although I'm not that ecstatic about what I got. This is proof that not everything that came out of the 60's was great. It's a bit average to be honest. I think Forever Changes was a lot better.

Nope

As I lay here listening to Da Capo, I wonder why this uncomplicated poppy 60s fayre has been included on the list. At which point Seven and Seven Is starts being a pre-punk, pre-surf punk delight that genuinely surprises me by being from 1966. We then go straight back to uncomplicated 60s pop fayre that - wait a minute - is actually complicated quite a lot by an awesome bassline and some tempo variations that I proper was not expecting. Thumbs up.

Appreciated the energy, but the album sounds all over the place and lacks any cohesiveness

Just because you can include an 18 minute long psych rock track, that doesn’t mean you should!

very limited patience for this kind of psychodelic rock, the jam in the end was my favorite part by far

Short songs but with a lot of quality except for the last song which is long and at some point it could boring, however in general it's an album that I enjoyed a lot, relaxing but with a lot of energy.

Another solid album fits right in with what I expected of Love

Ugh

An album that felt like it could've been important in 1966 but doesn't last the test of time. It is faded. An album to be found at Goodwill for a $1 to set a vibe at a '60's throwback party without everyone going... oh! that's the Beatles!

They use different types of instruments to make simple melodies sound more intriguing.

ahhhh. not my jam. maybe a bit too much free love? will probably check out their other work

Really enjoyed this. Not sure why I hadn't heard of this before. Happy to have "discovered".

A couple of good singles. This should have been an EP. Best track: Seven and Seven Is

well, it's certainly a choice to have six short songs on the first side, then the second side have one nineteen minute song. arthur lee and jethro tull have something in common. this was an interesting album. i could hear similarities with other artists from the mid-sixties. "relevation" sounded like the rolling stones crafted it. "stephanie knows who" is a little too harsh for me, but the harpsichord presence is of its time. "she comes in colors" could have been a beatles track. a big treat for me with this album was "7 and 7 is." as a huge alice cooper fan, i recognized the song immediately from his special forces album (a deep cut). i do enjoy comparing covers in my spare time, too.

I didn't care for this. Due to the psychedelic nature and the vocal style, it reminded me of off-brand The Doors at several points. They failed to be as interesting as The Doors, though. The tracks are all very short, and you think you're going to escape with your life...but wait, the final track is over 18 minutes long, accounting for over half of the total album length. Honestly, this album was not the worst listen, but it was just forgettable and unremarkable.

Very first song reminded me a little of the Doors. Thought this was an interesting album. A mixture of "kind of" punk and psychedelic to a little rock. I can't say I loved, but I did enjoy listening. Favorite song was Revelation. A good 3 for me

3.5 Pretty solid 60s fare. This album seems to have found a nice middle ground between The Beatles and The Who and I dig it for the most part. Not much else to say because it’s nothing I haven’t heard before but it is pretty well done even in that sense. Favorites: Stephanie Knows Who, 7 and 7 is, The Castle

3 For a 60s band named "Love", this album went pretty hard. Musically it was a little all over the place - it bounced pretty abruptly from psychedelia to surf rock to finally an 18-minute blues closer. The punk in me really enjoyed Seven and Seven Is, and I see how it could have influenced punk in the years ahead (The Ramones even covered it at one point). Other than that, nothing in particular seemed to jump out, and I don't really think the closing track was quite interesting enough to justify its length. Favorite songs: Stephanie Knows Who, Seven and Seven Is

Niet te doen, tegen het agressieve aan ben ik..

Beetje moeilijk te plaatsen soms, maar uiteindelijk toch een dikke voldoende voor Love; Boeiend en op een fijne manier ouderwets klinkend!

Dit kon ik wel waarderen. Heel sisters, maar wel tof.

Onbekende plaat voor mij, maar vond het wel tof eigenlijk. Ik hou wel van die beetje psychedelische 60's sound.

Ik ken een ander plaatje van hen en ik geloof dat ik dat net leuker vind. Desalniettemin: fris en fruitig.

3.5 to be fair, I hadn't listened to this one before. A couple of good songs but not my favorite.

Muy de los 60. Hermoso

It was aight.

It grooves and it swings and the first few cuts have a slightly exotic feel, but then vibes its way into a sorta generic ‘60s energy. Glad to know it (if only for the epic “Revelation”) but one won’t be playing it at one's funeral.

Psicodelia que não chega a ser iteressante.

ikkje lika fra som forever changes

Sjøl om da ligne på ein del andre ting eg kan setta pris på, så va da kje heilt for meg denna gangen. Bra med orgel då

Great stuff, beautiful, chaotic and full of charm

OK, wasn't a fan at the start but middle of the album really grew on me. Harmonica let it down a bit. but glad I listened.

Strangely pleasant - i was surprised as dont really like the 60s style as a general rule

Not great... not terrible. I actually really loved the first song. Had kind of a mix of punky, folky, and psychedelic sound... rest of the album didn't seem to measure up to me.

5/10

Decent album. The Rolling Stones song “She’s a Rainbow” sounds a lot like “She Comes in Colors.” This predates the Stones’ song.

Not good listening

Didn’t love this one. Felt all over the place. The 19 minute jam track at the end was unexpected for sure. Just ok overall for me.

Solid late 60’s psych/garage. Definitely of its time. Fans of The Velvet Underground and Can will probably find something to like here, especially of the more garage-y tracks like ‘Seven and Seven Is’ and the side long ‘Revelation’.

Very summery and psychedelic, and very very dated. Daft lyrics, clichéd music, but fun and enjoyable in spite of that.

Duidelijk de jaren 60. Zeker van kunnen genieten. Ook het nummer van 18 minuten lang verveelde niet

Dude, if you're gonna be consistently flat on the second song's high note, sing a different note.

Love is great, though I’ve never heard this particular record before. “Stephanie Knows Who” is a whirlwind of several music styles and approaches. Folk, Baroque, proto-funk, proto-punk, garage rock. Arthur Lee’s energy is infectious. “Orange Skies” has a nice classic 60’s vibe as it starts, reminding me of Peggy Lee and other 60’s loungey jazz-inflected pop. Though the songs on this album evoke other musical styles, the result is something especially unique and unparalleled in style and vibe. “Que Vida” is especially lyric-forward, introducing a collection of questions with the exception of the last verse which ends in an assertion about death. We move from loungey 60’s pop to garage roc/proto-punk on 7 and 7 is! So 7 and 7 is certainly 14, though I’m not sure what else the title could be referring to based on the lyrics. Lee is known for expressing societal and philosophical truths in his lyrics, though this one is especially hidden. From what I’ve heard thus far, “The Castle” is my favorite of this record. The acoustic guitar riff is lovely, the lyrics are engaging, and the harpsichord is a fun witty harkening back to times in which there were castles. Again, “She Comes in Colors” has great lyrics and a unique yet accessible melody. Lastly, we have “Revelation” which is 18 minutes long! All in all, this is a record that I’d love to return to and listen closely to the lyrics, as Lee is very much a wordsmith.

It would be easy to that this album does psychedelic folk rock by the numbers, but that fact is that Arthur Lee and Love wrote the rules then broke them as many times as they could. How does an album so syrupy on one level exhude such punk as f**k energy?

Hippy rubbish.

Best wel lekker, helemaal niet verkeerd en catchy

Special I'm glad that I got to listen to it 3 Little too Rolling Stones for me 2 "Revelation" is really special Last part of "Seven And Seven Is" is really good

Before Forever Changes, the band Love were rocking out pretty well. For the time, this is pretty good, but I can't say the 19 minute long Revelation was worth the length. Favorites: "Stephanie Knows Who", "Orange Skies", "Seven and Seven Is"

A band ahead of their time. I really enjoyed this album.

This album starts off strong, unique, and pleasantly surprising. High energy vocals, beats and melodies consistent with the 1960s --- a real solid effort at slightly above a half hour total listen time. That is until the final track at 18:58 of those minutes. Nineteen minutes of artistic expression that would have fared better on a B-sides, however in all fairness, that may not have been an option. The final note on this album ending with a 18:58 track is sour. Half of the album is tied up into this experimental, at times primal, and useless composed (if that) amalgamation of sounds that ended as unsatisfactorily as it began.

It was good, the last track was a bit out there and long, but the first 6 tracks were great.

Not good

Well forever changes is like a boarderline classic but this I don’t know what to expect… The album opens with Stephanie knows who a rather fast paced rocker ( well for love) with some sorta off key sounding instrumentation. Other than the screaming nothing matches to forever changes though. Following is the rater mellow orange skies the song is closer to what they would make forever changes it’s a nice slow song with drugged up lyrics and amazing flute work in particular. !Que vida¡ again goes in this direction I love the guitars in this one still not matching those. Seven and seven is, is what I would say is love’s heaviest song amazing drums and amazing bass work not what I expected from this band. Love goes full on folk at the start of the castle being a bumbling Simon and Garfunkel like song at the start but slowly loses all of this with the second half being a unique spiralling instrumental piece. Ending the first side of the album is she comes in colours, it’s no red telephone, but it’s still a nice rock song with off lyrics and great flute work ( which seems abandoned in forever changes). Side two of the album is only one song revelation a nearly 19 minute long thing it starts off as a pretty formulaic rocker then is filled with so many other layers at points completely warping the song as a whole, vocal work is good slightly echoey and doesn’t fill up the song all too much for a song of this length. The bit where it’s like he’s having sex is rather awkward for the listener. But eh I really don’t like it but it’s unique. It’s half proto forever changes and half a mess not dreadful or forgettable though.

amazing

For the time it came out its pretty good.

05/21/2022 Another one that's just not for me.

Decent disco but nothing special for me

Of moderate interest musically, but lyrically pretty silly. “Stephanie Knows” is overstuffed and not representative of what’s to come, most immediately, the dreamy “Orange Skies.” “She Comes in Colors” is a Stones rip-off, no? The most interesting song, the epic, slow-jam closer “Revelation” suggests the darkness of the ‘70s to come, with some guitaring that sounds like Neil Young was sitting in and a soprano sax (or clarinet) solo for the ages. Those bits are way better than the extended vocal improv bit in the middle of the 20 minutes, and the strange transition ending – drum solo into harpsichord nod-off.

60's freakout rock with every hippie cliche imaginable. Still fun though and rocks pretty in places. Could have used better production and edit down the final track.

Jamais entendu parlé C'est pas mauvais. Le chanteur et le bassiste sont faux et le drummer est loin d'être clean mais sinon il y a de belle trouvailles. Clavecins, beats en 5/4 à la take five, sax pas gossant Étonnamment heavy par bout, c'est quasiment punk avant l'heure (seven and seven is) Sur spoty il y a les versions mono et stereo J'aime de plus en plus le mono, pour le jazz c'est magique et pour le early stereo c'est franchement mieux que des hards pannings waks de contraintes technique et non de choix artistiques. Tellement hippie d'appeler ton band Love😄

Un album de 36 minutes avec une toune de 19 minutes qui n’est autre chose qu’un jam qui ne va nul part. Ça ne laisse pas grand place pour présenter autre chose. Autrement, il y a les chanson quétaines dont on est pas certain de l’intention. Est-ce que c’est sarcastique ou sérieux ?? Bref, ce n’est pas passé à l’histoire et il y a une raison. Ce n’est pas un trésor caché.

C’est pas mauvais. La face A est la plus intéressante. Le jam de la face B est trop long même si certains moments sont intéressants. C’est varié et différent de ce qui se faisait à l’époque. Je ne crois pas que j’y reviendrais d’emblée, mais je ne skipperais pas dans une playlist.

Pretty good rock/pychadelic that I haven't heard of, but not going to make my rotation.

Pretty groovy. One song really wanted to be "What's New, Pussycat?" but couldn't quite get there.

A sharp and compact overall sound, with relatively melodic compositions. The arrangements are among the most eccentric of their time. (7/10) FT: Seven and Seven Is

this was a fun listen, nothing that really stood out to me though

Kolejne stare nowosci z hameryki, tym razem Da Capo od bandy Love, nazwa znajoma, bo wczesniej juz slyszalem ich Forever Changes, album z podobnego okresu, bo capo wydany byl w 66, a changesy w 67, sklad na obu plytach jest taki sam, wiec jakiejs rewolucji w brzmieniu nie bylo, ale nie zmienia to faktu, ze oba albumy znaczaco sie roznia i wyjasnilo sie czemu changesowy jest o wiele popularniejszym wydaniem, pierwsza sprawa jest jakosc remastera do stereo jednej i drugiej plyty, da capo wypada tutaj fatalnie, ale jednak na spotifaju jest on dostepny zarowno w wersji mono jak i stereo, wiec nie ma tutaj problemu z wyborem dobrej jedynej drogi, kolejna sprawa jest sama struktura plyty, 35 minut grania podzielone na 7 utworow z czego pierwsza strona brzmi podobnie jak changesy z swoimi psychodelicznie popowymi utworami tak popularnymi w latach 60, ale druga strona to cos calkowicie innego, potezny 19 minutowy utwor pod tytulem revelation, ktory byl prawdziwym objawieniem tego albumu, ktory bez niego bylby wybrakowany i raczej szybko zapomniany, a tak na tym 19 minutowym jamujacym kawalku slychac w dluzych ilosciach, to co juz bylo modelowane na wczesniejszych utworach, ale podane w takich ilosciach i z taka energia, ze banda brzmi zupelnie jak inny zespol, malo wokalu, a wiecej instrumentali, jesli jakies wokale sie pojawiaja sa to raczej dzikie wrzaski, ktore tylko hajpuja instrumentale niz jakies liryczne spiewy, bo lirycznie raczej nigdy wysoko nie stawialem pana Arthura Lee, a ten album tylko mnie w tym przekonaniu utwierdzil, wiec banda przypomniana i cos nowego sie uslyszalo dodatkowo, perelka ktora zapamietam z tego odsluchu bedzie utwor b sajda, ktory leci na plejke

Not for me, just ain’t doing it

At first I was quite sceptical, but after a second listen I'm pretty convinced of the quality of this album. Love the instrument selection - they created some lovely harmony throughout the record (special kudos for harpsichord - you don't find it often outside of classical music). I also enjoyed the psychedelic style which reminded me of The Doors and Jimi Hendrix. To sum up - a really pleasant surprise and a time well spent. Highlight: She Comes in Colors Bonus: Revelation (for psychedelic vibes)

Powoli przestaję pisać recenzje, bo w każdej z nich jestem zmuszony pisać dokładnie to samo i tu nie będzie inaczej. Średniawa.

Meh

Niektóre kawałki były słuchalne i dałbym 3 za te nietypowe instrumenty czasem, ale ostatni kawałek (czy raczej kawał, bo ciągnął się przez długie 19 minut) kompletnie zepsuł mi przyjemność z tej płyty.

Not as good as forever changes. Some nice pop psychedelic stuff and the 20 minutes song on the second half was fun, but lacking in great song writing.

We happened to be on vacation in Arizona for this one and it was great for a scenic drive on our way to the Grand Canyon. I like folk rock like this and I appreciate that Love has two lead singers with pretty different styles - the rocker and the more melodic folk singer. The rocker almost sounds like Screamin’ Jay Hawkins at times! Wow, that last track “Revelation” covers a lot of ground! An epic 18-minute jam! I’m looking forward to spending more time with this album.

I enjoyed having this album on in the background while doing busywork because it just kept me moving. So interesting that the final song was so expansive! I feel like you never really see that these days, so props for a unique album format.

Pros: - Very cool sound! It's my first time actively hearing this band. They are very dynamic and the overall sound does a lot of things right. - Even though it's 1966, the production is really crisp. - It's a dynamic album while also existing inside of a defined sound. Track 1 is a "tough" psychedelic rock song with a harpsichord shred part. Track 2 is a gushy ballad, Track 3 is another sweetheart track, and then Track 4 is a "The Who" type rabble-rousing shout-off. That's a lot of moving around. Cons: - Some tracks' lyrics are not exactly bad but a little uninspired. - I'm assuming it's a victim of the time period, but man I can't comfortably listen to hard-panned instruments and layers for very long. Track 3, "Que Vida", has the FULL drumset 100% in the left ear, and guitars in the right ear. I'm personally a big believer in symmetry in production and while panning is a great condiment to add to your flavors, you can't have things sound balanced with 70% mustard in your right ear and 30% ketchup in the left ear. Don't put condiments in your ears. Misc: - Interesting that the total length of the album is 36 minutes 9 seconds, and the final track is over half of that, coming in at 18 minutes and 58 seconds. This track is mostly a jam though, as the vocals leave around the 3 minute mark and only come back briefly before leaving again.

They're alright.

"Seven and Seven is" and "She Comes in Colors" are very good tracks and made me into a fan.

not immediately grabbing me

The precursor to Love Forever Changes roars with all the might of its proto-punk attitudes and the rollicking saga of its 19 minute long Revelation. Do not overlook this part of Love if you want to understand how they came into being what they were on their way towards their masterpiece. Favorites: Stephanie Knows Who, Orange Skies, Seven and Seven Is, She Comes in Colors, Revelation.

Look, their next one is MUCH better.

Pompy pomposity. Quite fun actually.

Meh.

Never heard this album before, but it was pretty decent. Not as good as "Forever Changes", but still good. I love this album cover, by the way.

Some good songs on this one, but as a whole it didn't grab me and pull me in like I thought it would. A fine document of some late 60's psych-pop-rock and it gets kind of jammy to conclude the record. Nice touch.

There was nothing for me here.

Da Crapo. (But seriously, what's going on here? Because I absolutely adore the follow up album. This one feels so unfocused and messy. Even the biggie, 7 and 7 Is, sounds half-realised. The biggest bum note, though, is Revelation. They're simply not a good enough or interesting enough group of musicians to pull off an eighteen minute-and-change track. Hell, even the best struggle at times. Do yourselves a favour and head directly to Forever Changes where Love is concerned.)

All around groovy

Really nothing redeeming about this album. Have no idea why it would ever show up on this type of list...1/5

boring

Cool album, I really like it's psychedelic sound!

Did not enjoy. Sounded like a random jam session with no direction.

Gostei bastante. É um álbum para baixar.

0/5 Pants. Flared pants. I think I possess 1001 better albums which are not on this list. It should have been consigned to the archives a long time ago. Cover art 1/5

Pure random. This is a very odd album. There is no set style throughout. It just sounds like 15 different ‘writers’ came up with 15 different tracks. And not one of the 15 are any good to add salt to injury. I am saddened knowing that this album exists and that people actually enjoy it. For a band named love I’m certainly not loving this album

Great 60’s album.

With all the legendary bands from this era, it’s hard for an album like this to stand out. It was really disorganized and the track Revelation really gets annoying. I respect the musicianship and use of the harpsichord however.

Typical 60s with some psychodelic pop edge. Not bad but in the end the album is just going to be one of hundreds that are not bad but listening to them once is enough

Now THIS is the combination of psychedelic, heavy rock, folk, and baroque (dig that harpsichord solo!) that the 60s is known for, I love it!

Every single song went hard, but “!Que Vida!,” “Seven and Seven Is,” “She Comes in Colors,” and “Revelation,” especially.

Never heard of them before but I guess that was the other side of the coin - You either rode a Vespa and listened to the Beatles or you had a glimpse into the 70th..... Not for me

I don't think I had ever heard this before. It felt ahead of it's times.

Hectic then mellow, then hectic, then cool, but always mono.

Very 1966

Side 1 and side 2 are very different and it works up to a point. I really like this album - always have - but the side 2 single track, "Revelation" could do with a bit of editing; I've never been a fan of rock drum solos. That would give room for another track perhaps. Side 1 is a little patchy but contains some great tracks, particularly "7 and 7 is".

At once frightfully earnest and obtusely satirical, they aim for bonkers and hit their target right in the ghoulies. The quiddling lyrics, frenetic drumming, and puckish pipe-blowing play their part, but it wouldn't be anywhere near as successful--or listenable--if they weren't incorrigible melodists. That means there's always a firm point from which to depart from on one of their zigzags. They find the temptation to return irresistible, too, even if the melody has changed after they've returned from outer space. Also: One more for the small pile of albums where the stupidly long closer is rather good.

Very interesting.

Ah man I started writing a review and then lost it! I really enjoy Love and I haven't spent enough time diving into their work. It's very exciting and kind of picks you up and drops you all over the map, is it psychadelic? Rock? Electronic? Punk? Jazz? I like how it gives you so much.

Well, this was great. I do already like Love. But this was upbeat and fun and a different.

I enjoyed this. I'd never heard of it before and it's pretty up my street. Can't complain!

I first heard Love almost 20 years ago. Swooned over by Rolling Stone and their ilk as ahead of their time I checked out Forever Changes (I suspect we will meet again eventually) and I hated it. Well I still hate Love. Of course this is a different album and I hoped it would be a better experience, but it was not. My entire listening experience left me making the face of McKayla Maroney (Google that if you need to) as I was very unimpressed for the duration. There are a few scattered moments that I didn't hate but they were fleeting. I didn't like one song in its entirety. The 18 minute jam was especially bad. Surprsingly, I did like the drum solo snd unless I was hallucinating I swear I heard Chewbacca like noises briefly. 5 stars for Chewbacca. 1 star for annoying hippie crap. Don't believe the hype: the were "overlooked" for a reason.

Really enjoyed!

damn hippies

This is the second album from Love that was recommended to me by 1,001 albums generator. I almost forgot about the previous album. On "Da Capo" I can still hear a notably late-60s characteristic to the music with prominant psychodelic sounds. This album seems to venture into progressive rock a little more that the last record I listened to. For example, "Revelation", which was the track I enjoyed the most, is 18 minutes long and takes up the entire B side of the album. The progressive sound is not just a matter of length. The shorter tracks on the album also experiment with progressive rock layers and transitions. My enjoyment of the music was periodically interrupted by some of the delivery of the lyrics, and sometimes the content of the lyrics. I'm not a big fan of songs whose themes revolve around "ooo, baby" or "hey, mama". I have a soft spot for the occasional odd lyrics, but after hearing "Oop-ip-ip, oop-ip-ip, yeah" a couple of times I was feeling a little confused about whether I liked "7 and 7 is" or not. For the moment, I'll say that I like the track. After a first listen, this album is 3 stars, but there might be room to grow with a re-listen.

Rock suave de los 60-70's. No lo conocía. Fácil y agradable de escuchar. Grandes partes instrumentales

Eh- I made it through two songs. I understand how this album matters... I'm just not at a place to be able to appreciate it.

Nothing special. Inoffensive but forgettable.

Lovely (no pun intended) 60s psych rock. Woud listen again.

De muziek komt wat rommelig over. Verder wel aardig voor op de achtergrond. Zang voelt soms wat onzuiver. Andere liedjes zijn weer verrassend goed. Favorieten zijn "Que Vida!" en "She Comes In Colors" ***

Highlights: tracks 4 and 6. An 18-minute final track is a bit much in this case.

J'avais attribué la note de quatre à ces hurluberlus la dernière fois, j'étais donc particulièrement curieux de voir ce qu'ils nous avaient préparé cette fois-ci. L'album commence de manière assez banale. Les pistes s'enchaînent à une vitesse très curieuse. C'est une fois arrivé à la dernière piste que l'on comprend dans quel piège on vient de tomber. 18:57 minutes. C'est la durée de celle-ci. Une éternité pendant laquelle le chanteur et les musiciens font absolument n'importe quoi.

J'étais très content de relancer ce groupe que j'avais particulièrement apprécié sur leur autre album présent sur le générateur. Malheureusement c'est un fiasco total, qui atteint son paroxysme lorsque le groupe tente tout simplement d'imiter Led Zeppelin, dans une performance absolument désastreuse. J'ai à ce sujet contacté Robert, qui m'a mis en relation avec le chanteur du groupe Led Zeppelin. Ce dernier m'a déclaré que Love n'était, je cite "qu'un groupe de sac à merdes". Les mots sont lourds mais nécessaires.

Liked the harpsichord, harmonica player good.

Better than the last 60's rock group that we just saw. I figured we would have heard all the rock groups by now with the amount of unknown bands we are getting but there's always more. Creepy man in the middle, looks like a morlock or the giant from Equinox.

As if to test my statement about getting bored with '60s psych rock, the list claps back. This one is much more lively and interesting than the Blue Cheer album though. Lots of cool instruments at play; a bit folksy in spots. It closes with a super long jam song, which was actually one of my favorites. I like this one though, good stuff. Favorite tracks: Orange Skies, She Comes in Colors, Revelation. Album art: Framing is a bit goofy, but I like this one overall. The band photo is menacing, reminds me of Night Gallery. With enough makeup and blue paint, the guy in the middle could have acted as one of the Morlocks in the Time Machine. I want to befriend these bruisers. 3.5/5

No. There's nothing about this that I dig. It's not HORRIFIC but it ain't good.

Un disc de contrastos. Els temes més melòdics, 'She Comes in Colors', 'The Castle', 'Orange Skies'... són del millro que va composar mai la banda, la resta està a un nivell alt també, tot i que mai he estat fan del single '7 and 7 Is'... Lastra el tema de 18 minuts de la cara B, una amalgama de sons precursor del rock progressiu que es podrien haver estalviat

I liked one song

Got a vibe of The Zombies, House of the Rising Sun here. That being said, it's nowhere near that good. First track is musical discomfort. There's just a vibrant frenzy all over it. Not a bad thing, but I'm not really feeling it. Orange Skies is a total time capsule. Jazz flute, psychedelic vocals, weird song. Again, I'm not feeling it. Que Vida is jaunty. It feels like it's making fun of itself though. A this point - I'm feeling this album did not stand the test of time, but it must be influential in its own way. I see a lot of comparisons between Love and The Doors. I guess I see it...but The Doors is fully realized music. Yes, there are organs, horns, and psychedelia, but it just doesn't work. Seven and Seven Is is interesting. The rhythm section is solid. I like how it "blows up" at the end into something else. I'd have liked to see where that musical interlude goes. The Castle is the best song on the album. I'm not sure where Love went after this, and if they pursued more ballad, guitar driven baroque songs, but that's where they are strongest. She Comes in Colors and Revelation are bluesy and decent. Revelation really is the crux of the album, but I'm not really sure if this album works in the first place, and then to end it with this opus is a little unusual.

An existence that matches The Stooges in timeframe and albums recorded, this is to me VASTLY superior to Funhouse (which I just listened to). This album is a solid listenable slice of the sixties, though "Revelation" is about 14-minutes too long. Added to my library, regardless.

Like his voice First track wild It's good Many styles Like it
