I didn't mind the solo album, if anything he's just trying to establish his own style, if you want the strokes... listen to the strokes.

Love - Da Capo



Pretty much a turd with a few semi-gloss moments.

To me, it's not that much of a turd, but in a way as there are only four great songs, this was clearly one of those "Transition Albums" which are usually difficult to get through in my book. Some are really worthwhile, but sadly Love's second album missed the mark to my ears. The revolving line-up did not do much for them either.

As much as I seriously love the debut and Forever Changes, I'm sure that this one really made people do a double take when it was released. "7&7 Is" is a classic, "Stephanie Knows Who" is wonderful as well as "She Comes in Colors" and even "The Castle." It's an EP's worth of greatness when all is said and done, but then...

"Orange Skies" (Bryan's major fumble of the early Love albums) and "Que Vida!" (Sorry, fans, but to me that's easily Arthur's brief drop in quality on the first three...good lyrics, but the music did not fit) sound like serious MOR stuff for Hippie Boutiques of the time and the worst of the Lee-MacLean era, obviously showing their talents but sadly proving that there was still a lot of fine tuning to be made in order to get their serious music aims in gear and that meant dropping the happy happy sounds that they were hardly good at in my opinion right away and going into something more mysterious (Come to think about it, I'm not too much of a fan of "The Good Humor Man..." on FC either, but that song is not bad and it is surrounded by greatness everywhere else on the album so it's cool). And I don't care just how "Revelation" made it, no matter what the story was or how much talent the track shows off, a side long snooze is a side long snooze, and it was a song that should have been recorded live in it's true element.


And then, thinking more about the music released in '67 by the LA Class of 65/66, there was one album that seriously makes it as a major fail...

To be fair, at least it was not the Flower Children fiasco that was The Seeds' Future, an album with a couple of good tracks surrounded by a hunk of manure...and Tubas. After two kicking Garage Punk greats, Future was the stuff that made the listener turn into a non-believer. At least Love went through their fumble in style.

The Fascinating Turnip

I couldn't even finish this, sounded like plain, boring, overhyped drivel. And what's with those mind numbingly long songtitles?
Won't delete it just yet though, you never know.


Thought I'd like this chap, perhaps I chose the wrong album.

I give it credit for being decent enough to take me somewhere, I just didn't like where it took me.

yeah, i agree with this. honestly i only really liked the title track, but i may give it another chance in due time

Same here really.

Yeah I know you posted it already, I just think the other one is too focused, too specific. Plus in that one people were talking about albums that are annoying them when they're at the mall or something. Here we're talking about albums that we're listening to intentionally that just aren't quite doing it for us.

Merge 'em if you want, but the OP in that thread doesn't inspire the same responses as this one does.

well not everybody can listen to that many albums in succession

but really, i like this thread idea, tbh i can't really list four albums that i listened to recently that crawls up my skin. honestly, this is a little more lenient than a thread asking for four.

How bout merging the two threads already. We already made that same conversation in the other one, and I was surprised none of the two were closed.
