Love “Forever Changes” 1967

Less garage rocky than their previous efforts this is a masterpiece of light psych pop.

Alone Again Or is the most well known song off the album. It’s a fantastic song but the album really starts after it where Arthur Lee steps back up to lead his band.

I’ve often considered replacing my well worn thrifted copy due to it extreme crackling sound but it’s got a nice vintage charm that you can’t get with a perfect modern pressing.

Tuesday, October 1: Riot, "Don't Hold Back"

R.I.P. Mark Reale (1955-2012), Guy Speranza (1956-2003)

Fire Down Under was one of those records that, while beloved by a not insignificant cult of early ‘80s heavy metal/hard rock afficionados, only grew incrementally in stature over the decades.  Similar to the first Montrose record (which at least eventually went Gold), nearly everyone who’s heard Riot’s third full-length loved it, but it hasn’t really picked up newer generations of listeners.  But in 1981, 1999 or 2024, Fire Down Under played like a corker, and numbers like “Don’ t Hold Back” ripped with glorious and unpretentious abandon.  Guy Speranza was the very specific kind of frontman who didn’t have a super dynamic range but sounded totally awesome rocking out, and Mark Reale’s riffing perfectly threaded the needle between classic hard rock and the more energetic strains of metal emerging on the scene.  Most (and best) of all, “Don’t Hold Back” was solely focused on kicking ass and totally lived up to its title.
