Currently the "Tour Dates Guru" for Black-Sabbath.com, I was also the webmaster and creator of Sabbathlive.com. I have been playing guitar and writing music criticism since age 10. While I was raised on a heavy diet of Heavy Metal, Prog Rock & New Wave, my voracious appetite for music has made me open to music of numerous genres. I strive to be honest, but also judicious and fair in my musical reviews, while trying to avoid being too hateful.

Rob Dwyer's Album Reviews

FOREVER CHANGES is a psychedelic masterpiece that deserves much more attention in the 21st century. It’s almost shocking how much Love evolved since their DA CAPO album. The opening song "Alone Again Or" (which was excellently covered by UFO) is a surprisingly well arranged song, very much in the vein of the Spaghetti western music that was showcased in movies from this era. While not every track on the album amazes, the highlights are incredibly moving. “The Red Telephone" is classic psychedelia and “You Set The Scene” is wonderfully arranged and contains some soulful & beautiful themes.

The diversity of their influences is startling and the arrangements are quite progressive and infectiously interesting to the ears. Arthur Lee was a genius. Timeless, ageless, absolutely beautiful stuff!
