I own a couple of Love albums but this is not one of them. A first-time listen would point to this maybe being my new favourite of theirs. The self-titled debut was brash and 60s-ish; but also kind of samey and somehow uninspiring. "Forever Changes" was beautifully put together, but lacked a certain energy. "Da Capo" manages to tick both boxes, with some great rocking tunes that feel like they 'do something'.
Not entirely sold on the gargantuan "Revelation" that takes up the whole second side of the album, I'm more of a fan of concise songs that say what they need to say without mucking about. long songs are fine if they kind of have some motivation for being long, like they take you on a 'journey' or something. There are actually moments of brilliance in it, just not enough to carry the full 19 minute weight of the song.
