This album marked the point he definitely went into pop territory. It was only after listening to Dirty Mind and Controversy and then going back to this one I could see the genius in this project too. But this one is in my opinion not the one you should start with; it doesn't present his legacy as good as his earlier albums. When you realize your focus should be on the percussion, it becomes clear, but Purple Rain has too much distractions to notice that. Sure, a lot of people are already sold when they hear a rich instrumentation, extremely convoluted song structures, or an intelligent concept throughout the album. But if you're amongst the few beautiful ones that still listen to music for the music, then start with Dirty Mind first and maybe listen 1999 and then come back here before you make up your mind about Prince."  [+]  Reply

The noisy underpinnings remain, and on top is an alt rock inspired soundscape that lays the foundations for politically driven, seriously good lyrics. As albums go, few are quite as well structured as this; it flows extremely well from song to song, never gets boring, and it's finale is one of the all time greatest. One of the most genuinely satisfying records I've ever listened to, that sounds way ahead of its time, and who's true significance and brilliance is often underestimated."  [+]  Reply

Forever Changes is their 3rd album, and the band was so strung out that the album was mostly played by session musicians and Arthur Lee. It's a classic. They take a more acoustic approach than on previous albums,and the results are amazing. "Alone Again Or" is stunning, and although some of the songs sound dated, it all still works. Neil Young was slated to help produce the album, but he quit to fulfill commitments with Buffalo Springfield. He did the arrangement on "The Daily Planet". After the album, Lee couldn't keep a steady lineup together, and Love became basically a solo project that never really took off again. But Forever Changes is one of the best albums of the 60's.

Although glued together from some singles, and the film's soundtrack, Magical Mystery tour holds together. Although psychedelic like Sgt. Pepper's, Mystery Tour relies less on narrative and more on atmosphere. The heavy instrumentation of Strawberry Fields Forever, the druggy layers on Blue Jay Way. Even the straightforward ballads feel more put together than usual for a Beatles' LP. (Your Mother Should Know, Fool on the Hill). Even the title track (a less successful version of Sgt. Pepper's opener) and Flying (a simple instrumental) are solid. But when this album is good its amazing. Strawberry Fields, All you Need is Love, and I am a Walrus are not only some of the Beatles' best, but some of the greatest songs of all time. P.S. I would recommend any Beatles fan get this record on vinyl. It comes with a large and gorgeous twenty page picture book."  [+]  Reply

I think great music has to have the ability to make you feel something, and Closer definitely has that. It's impossible to listen to Closer and not feel something intensely powerful, a oppressive sadness runs through every fiber of the album. Martin Hannett's production is spacious, and feels like it's being played from within a giant empty cathedral, yet still feels claustrophobic at the same time. There's nowhere to run or hide from the bleak nihilism, it washes over you and through you with every track. A truly sad masterpiece."  [+]  Reply
