LOVE.......2005-10-13

thier lyricism is something you must get use to and some people probably just dont like them because they are alittle out there. i like this album because the music is really good and #4 I STILL WONDER is such an awesomely flowing song, it is worth buying the cd. also the drumming is really great and the drum solo towards the end of the album is just AMAZING. love is an important band to the 60's and LA scene and this is a good album in my opinion.

Worthwhile........2005-09-03

So, i thought it was about time i checked this out since it was the only Love cd i've never heard and i'm glad to report this is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people make out. In fact, it's actually pretty great if not a little flawed.

As you no doubt know this is a collection of Love's two post-Elektra albums on the Blue Thumb label "out here" and some of the best songs from their finale "false start". Like the previous "four sail" album this is the more blues-rock Love but with some throwbacks to the first 3 albums. Indeed, many of these songs were actually recorded during the "four sail" sessions but weren't used until they'd gotten out of their Elektra contract. When "out here" and "false start" were released they both were reviled by Love fans and flopped commercially barely breaking into the billboard top 200 and signalled the end of the band.

Which is a shame because there are some real gems on here. "I still wonder" is more complex return to the sound of the first album; The electric version of "signed d.c" is far less haunting than the acoustic original but still just as effective; "Love is coming", "stand out", "the first everlasting" (featuring Hendrix!) and "gimi a little break" continue the melodic wah-wah guitar-ed out rock of "four sail"; "nice 2 be" is a funky little song that would've sounded at home on "da capo", ditto the superb "willow willow" and "listen to my song" is pure acoustic THAT album era Love sans the orchestra.

And then there's the two most interesting songs on the album. The 12 minute "doggone" is an ode to Arthur's beloved dog who'd gone missing, his former girlfriend and the previous incarnation of Love that starts out as good and then degenerates into a horrific 9 minute drum solo that's absolutely unlistenable. And, finally, there's "love is more than words or better late than never" which starts out in the same vein as one of the more fast-paced songs from the debut -"you i'll be following" for example- that suddenly breaks into a screeching guitar solo and plunges deep into nearly 10 minutes of acid-rock guitar freak-outs. This discs version of "revelation", then, i guess. Sure, as long songs go it's no "voodoo chile" by Hendrix and three minutes or so could've been snipped from the running length to make it more potent, perhaps, but it still works. An acquired taste, though, i'll give you that.

As an album this collection and the best tracks on here are as good as the best songs on any previous Love album and as with all the Elektra reissues this includes a fine set of sleevenotes and pictures. The only thing holding me from giving it 5 stars is the damn never-ending drum gymnastics on "doggone". The excellent "love is coming" (possibly my favorite song on here) only being 1:23 long while featuring a 9 minute + drum solo in another track..? One can only imagine what was going through Lee's head when he made that decision.

Not too bad for what it is........2003-12-17

What you have here is basically a "sampler" of Love's "Out Here" album with a couple of songs from the band's "False Start" album thrown in to round out the CD. As for Out Here", it is unquestionably the best of the works recorded by the "non classic lineup" Love. If you're a fan of the band, you will definitely enjoy this CD. If you are not already a fan of the band, it's a 50/50 gamble. This CD will have to hold Love fans over until "Out Here" is re-released on CD.

People who think Love ended with Forever Changes are idiots.......2002-02-09

After Forever changes was released the next album was "Four Sail". This had some great songs on it like August, Nothing, You Will Always See My Face, Singing Cowboy, and Good Times. After that, Love moved to Blue Thumb Records and although not as consistant in quality, it had GREAT songs. This is truly the best of both recordings Arthur Lee/Love did for Blue Thumb. Idiotic Love fans who wanted Arthur to stagnate in the folksy/psychedelic beauty of Forever Changes (granted a true masterpiece) were selfish that they would want to refuse someone the right to grow and experiment with other types of music. These albums ROCK! If the best of "Four Sale was included on this compilation" it would be a definite 5 star CD. To hell with all the idiots who think Post Forever Changes material is trash. This is a must buy for TRUE Love fans. Someone should release "Four Sail" on CD as well.
