One of the best albums that i discovered Via BEA. Alone again or is an amazing song, but it is not better than "The Red Telephone" or "A house is Not a Motel". Very Great

I've never been able to like this one. I've found the sound doesn't work for me in the past.

Pretty much totally brill.
Track after track is pretty great, flows well, amazing horns and unique instrumentation throughout. The vocals are so amazing - sort of sarcastic at times and very emotional in others and always cool. Some really great anti-establishment shit here too.
Really really like it, maybe even love could be used.
De Capo and Self Titled debut are also fabulous. I'd rank it
Forever Changes > Self Titled > Da capo personally.

"According to the New Musical Express, The Stone Roses' relationship with their future producer John Leckie was settled when they all agreed that Forever Changes was the "best record ever"." (wikipedia)
"Forever Changes was praised by a group of Members of the British Parliament in 2002 as being one of the greatest albums of all time." (wikipedia)
"The 1979 edition of The Rolling Stone Record Guide gave the album a rating of five stars (out of five). It also received five stars in the 1983 edition of the guide and in the fourth edition that was published in 2004." (wikipedia)
You can go on and on listing the accolades of this album, but that's not enough. You have to like it too. I am glad I do.

Wow, sudden and absurdly high jump in quality for the AOTD lately. This album literally displays the best songwriting I have ever heard. It's what most non danceable pop music should long for : simple, catchy songs, with actually unique and complex, yet natural, chord progressions, extremely delicate and efficient melodies, excellent and diverse musicianship, without it taking over the forefront (which would ruin it all) and of course a never-ending replay value, with loads and loads of elements only revealing themselves with time.
It is my third favorite album of all time, behind our lord Antony, and of course Johnny Hallyday.

It was the album I couldn't get in at all for a long time despite I listened to a lot of 60s albums. The song structures, the instrumentalisation, the lyrics were all so unusual and different, I couldn't understand it.
Since then I discovered the greatness of Forever Changes. It is one of the strangest, most beautiful and most haunting records of the 1960s and one of my personal favourites from that decade.
Favourites:
Alone Again Or
Andmoreagain
Old Man
The Red Telephone
Live and Let Live
You Set the Scene
