It's no small feat to follow an instant classic like Common's Be (2005) but he skillfully builds on that success with a worthy sequel. The two albums share much in common, especially with Finding Forever's focus and brevity (under 50 minutes) and especially with Kanye West's musical direction. The two Chicago natives have forged a strong chemistry together, especially on songs like "Start the Show" and "Southside" where both men appear, but just as a producer, West makes his presence felt on everything from the catchy piano tinkles of "Driving Me Wild" (featuring British chanteuse Lily Allen) to the brass-knuckled "The Game" (featuring DJ Premier). As has become his trademark, Common balances heartfelt earnestness ("Black Maybe") with clever charm ("Break My Heart") though he has one too many love songs ("I Want You"). Whether Finding Forever surpasses Be is a matter of individual, song-for-song taste: At worst, it's on par--a laudable accomplishment for a veteran now 15 years into his career. --Oliver Wang
Album Description
Multi-faceted Hip-Hop superstar Common is prepping his highly anticipated seventh album, Finding Forever, for a July 31st release on G.O.O.D Music/Geffen Records. The album is the follow up to the four times Grammy nominated, critically heralded and Kanye West produced Be, which spawned hits including The Corner, Go, and Testify. Finding Forever, finds Kanye again taking the bulk of production work with help from Will.I.Am on the sultry I Want You, the late great J. Dilla on So Far To Go, featuring a surprise guest appearance by D'Angelo and G.O.O.D Music producer Devo Springsteen on Misunderstood. On Finding Forever, Common, rips the mic like a hungry newcomer. The street single The Game produced by Kanye with scratches by the legendary DJ Premier is a horn drenched, vintage NY rap boom-bap banger from the Chi-town emcee, no less. The resounding lead single The People finds Common lyrically asserting why and who he creates his music for over regal strings, delectable keys and hard to get vocals by Gil Scott Heron. This is the explicit version.

Forever found........2007-08-02
Man, this is album is easily the best hiphop release of 2007. That's not hard to be but still. THis is an album I can just put in, and let it ride. My wife loves it too and she aint really a hiphop head like that. Standout tracks for me include "Start the Show","U Black Maybe","Misunderstood","Forever Begins" & "Break my heart". Get this album, add it to the collection. Get some good music for the soul. Common is important to the game right now.
Not as good............2007-08-01
This album was highly anticipated. After 2005's flawless Be, it seemed like our boy Common could do no wrong. With Kanye West as the in house producer how could you come up with anything less than great?...right?
"Finding Forever" is less than great. Not to say that it's a terrible album because that it isn't, it just happens to be his weakest album since his very first. The songs are well produced but lacked the essence grinding of Be, the sonic openness of Electric Circus or the classic soul of Like Water for Chocolate. Maybe the bar was two high with this reviewer simply because everything else Common has done in the 2000s has been stellar.
Also particularly aggravating are the pop culture references that you count on true rappers not to make. The reference crutch is always something about Common that has been bothersome but this weakness is put in sharp relief here. Other than this, Common may be the best working lyrist in hip hop right now and he still hits lyrical highs with ease...even on Finding Forever.
It's hard to imagine a sound produced by Kanye West inspired by J-Dilla to be unimaginative but that's what it is here. Nothing on this album stands out the way "I Used to love H.E.R, Reminding me (Of Sef), The 6th Sense, Come Close, Love is... and Faithful" did.
Finding Forever is the first time Common has disappointed....still a big fan of Common's though and I look forward to his next release.
THANK YOU COMMON !!!.......2007-08-01
Before the anticipation of 'Finding Forever', I listened to 'Be' over and over from start to finish. Just yesterday, I went to BestBuy to cop the LP and listened to it and let me say that Common has absolutely stepped up his game. The album was a breath of fresh air straight through from start to finish without skipping a track. This is EXACTLY what real Hip-Hop is suppose to sound like progressively and maturely. From the reviews I've been reading thus far, most are comparing this album as a link to 'Be' which I'll admit is true, but 'Finding Forever' is definitely more underground yet progressively having more of an edge than 'Be' thus far.
To be honest, I'm not much of a Kanye West fan; however, I will have to agree with "ill-mc" that Kayne revived Common career after that risky experimental move of 'Electric Circus' LP that had fans going WTF? Common needed to get that Chi-Town swagger back from Resurrection, and One Day I'll All Make Sense, and who better to capture that Chi-Town vibe than Kanye. With this album, not only are Common and Kanye are officially a powerhouse team holding it down for the Midwest, they are carrying the flag of repping true Hip-Hop in general. Hip-Hop might be on life support, but with 'Finding Forever' Common is injecting it with enough new and improved oxygen for Hip-Hop to breath on its'own again.
Welcome to the southside.......2007-08-01
Once again Common did it again. Great follow up album to "Be" This album displays hip-hop at its best. It is refreshing to hear that arists are still amking real hip-hop music. This album has a nice mix as songs ranging from more gritty songs "like the game" to more relaxed songs like "drivin me wild" This is a must have album for any common fan or hip-hp fan in general.
Welcome to the house of Common!!.......2007-08-01
"Finding forever" is the follow up to 2005's multi-Grammy nominated Billboard #2 hit "Be", and like its predecessor, is largely produced by Kanye West.
It continues the smooth, retro soul sound, coupled with (largely) social conscious lyrics. Each song stands out actually, but I'll highlight a few. Like "Be", I like that "Finding forever" isn't overlong (it is under 50 minutes) with loads of time wasting interludes.
"Drivin' me wild" with its rolling marching beat features an unlikely guest vocalist, England's Lily Allen, and humorous lyrics about people living desperately unreal, even comparing one lady to "that astronaut lady".
A nice organ intro leads into the smooth midtempo "People" which features Dwele's calming harmonies and great organ/keyboard work, and manages to name check India.Arie, Nemo (the fish), and Obama while telling the tale of people struggling, the unsung heroes.
The will.i.am produced "I want you" is a woozy, psychedelic sounding lament of love lost. The jazzy "Misunderstood" (featuring a Nina Simone sample that fits in perfectly, the last time someone did that was Mary J Blige), "Southside" (great guitars), "So far to go" (with D'Angelo), and the lyrically assertive "Black maybe" are other standouts on this brilliant CD.
Comman, along with Kanye West, and The Roots, is one of my favourite rappers, and on the strength of this CD, it's easy to see why.

classic music CD.......2007-06-27
The CD was well represented by the clips on the Amazon website and came in time for our event. We did have a problem with the charge but that was taken care of promptly. Great service.
Good for beginners.......2007-02-15
It is an excellent collection of classical music. I would recommend this CD if you have a friend who don't like classical music, since it has the most beautiful overtures and portions of famous artists. If you are a Classic Music Savvy you probably will not be impressed by it, unless you want to play the CD as background music in a friends gathering.
Great mix.......2007-02-14
All the best composers! Over an hour of music. A samble of the greatest pieces.
Good for first-timer.......2007-01-22
This is the first time I have ever bought a classical music CD and I was very pleased with this one. It has a good variety of selections. I would buy it again.

Enjoyable Listening.......2007-07-26
Patrizio has a charming voice which he uses to full advantage in these classic Italian songs ... Very enjoyable...
"Extended Resolution CD" (what's this?).......2007-07-23
Being familiar with Patrizio Buanne's beautiful voice from purchasing his 1st USA release (that included 4 DVD video samples, but not any whole songs), was inspired to purchase his new CD. Since I could not find it anywhere local or thru Amazon upon it's initial release, I too decided to order from outside the USA. What I got was an "Extended Resolution CD" I thought, great, even better sound quality. Found no difference in the sound, so not sure what Universal is implying. What I did find was a total shock or surprise. This is the Hong Kong Universal Release. It contains 2 CD's, disc A contains most of the Forever Begins Tonight program, but it also contains 6 extra cuts ... they claim it to be Mr Buanne, but I know it's not..it's Robbie Williams from his Live Concert CD at "Live at the Albert Hall" doing "Beyond The Sea" the other 5 cuts are from Robbie's various rock CD's (which do not belong in this catagory of music choice). The 2nd Cd is Patrizio's "Il Mundo" Has the same 15 tracks from the USA release but has an additional 5 more. Those last five are not Patrizio singing at all again, they are of Michael Buble, from his first CD. I do own both of the CD's (of Michael and Robbie)they took these cuts from,and love them both, but it would have been nice to know what I was getting, giving me an option to purchase as such.... This comment is not meant to review the "Forever Begins Tonight" CD, but more so just to say shame on Universal for putting out something that is obviously not acurate. Piracy, as I see it!...... I was excited to hear Patrizio's version of Beyond The Sea, Let Me Entertain You, Moon Dance, For Once In My Life, Summer Wind, Come Fly With Me and Crazy Little Thing called Love, as is indicated on the album description back cover. I wont name the last 4 titles included, as they are "hard rock" and do not belong in an album of this format. I wonder if either Robbie Williams or Michael Buble are aware of this. On the positive side, you do get both the Forever Beings Tonight and Il Mondo CDs in one package for the price of one, and if you don't mind the included errors, then this Hong Kong version would be a good buy.... for me just too disturbing. This would be my only reason for not giving it the 5 stars. Otherwise, I agree, Mr Buanne is one great talent with a big future ahead of him. I'd like to find a USA(none PAL) release DVD.
Patricio.......2007-07-18
This is my second CD by this artist and I truly enjoyed all the songs.
Just as good as his first CD.
I CAN'T STOP SMILING!.......2007-07-18
I just discovered Patrizio here on Amazon while looking for other CD's. My first purchase was "Buanne The Italian". I suppose being Italian didn't hurt my choice. : ) It didn't take long for me to fall in love with this incredibly talented young man. I decided to purchase his second CD too. Well, it's 7:55 AM (eastern time) and i'm sitting here at my computer listening to "Luna Mezz 'O Mare", or "Way Ma Ma". I've listened to it about 6 times already and I can't stop repeating it. I remember this song from way back, probably from my parents and I just wish they could have heard him. They would have loved him. I'm not saying you have to be Italian to enjoy Patrizio, but it helps! I don't speak any Italian (with the exception of a couple of words), but I enjoy him immensely. He really mixes up the music and his romantic songs are wonderful. What a voice he was blessed with and his personality goes right along with it. You will know what I mean when you see his DVD. Incredible! I just wish I could see him in concert. I know I said too much, sorry!

One of rock's most overlooked masterpieces, this third album by the L.A. folk-rock outfit led by inscrutable singer-songwriter Arthur Lee sounds as fresh and innovative today as it did upon its original release in 1968. With David Angel's atmospheric string and horn arrangements giving the work a conceptual underpinning, Lee explores mainstream America's penchant for paranoia ("The Red Telephone") and violence ("A House Is Not a Motel") with songs that are as sonically subtle and lilting as they are lyrically blunt and harrowing. Add two gems by Love's secret weapon, second guitarist Bryan MacLean ("Alone Again Or" and "Old Man"), and you've got one of the truly perfect albums in rock history. Rhino's deluxe reissue serves up seven bonus tracks, including outtakes, alternates, and the "Your Mind and We Belong Together"/"Laughing Stock" single. --Billy Altman
Customer Reviews:
The Summer of Love, inverted.......2007-07-24
One of the great, inexplicably overlooked masterpieces of the 60s, Forever Changes is a collection of dreamy, ethereal pop songs with a dark, foreboding undercurrent. The music is lush and moody, soaked in atmosphere and dripping with dark color. The lyrics are pure hallucinogenic poetry, full of striking images and verbal mind games. The instrumrntation, although mostly accoustic, is as vibrant and nuanced as any Jimi Hendrix guitar solo. The arrangements include light orchestration, but the swirling violins and ominous horns don't sound out of place or pretentious. They mesh wonderfully with the songs, creating a series of dense, textured soundscapes that sound more and more engrossing with each listen. The end result is something akin to walking through a gorgeous and dreamlike meadow where the grass screams in agony whenever you step on it. In other words, this is a darkly beautiful classic, a unique and brilliant colection of songs that belongs in the posession of anyone who is even halfway concerned with collecting good rock music.
As far as highlights go, I've always loved the low-key catchiness and irrepressable menace of "A House Is Not A Motel," as well as the icy, bittersweet "Andmoreagain." "Alone Again Or" is a haunting portrait of loneliness, and an enticing soundscape that incorporates dazzling flameno guitars and a tense, ominous string section. There's also the stark, apocalyptic beauty of "The Red Telephone" and "The Good Humor Man Sees Everything Like This," as well as the hazy, hifting textures of "You Set the Scene." But really, every song here has something to reccomend it. From start to finish, Forever Changes is a truly great album, and one that you'd do well to pick up as soon as possible.
A Classic!.......2007-07-12
A classic album that needs to be part of your collection. Could'nt revive my plastic. Don't miss out.
LOVE's apex.......2007-07-04
"Forever Changes" has appeared on the "top 100 album lists" of many major rock reviewers. Why? There are elements of other great bands in this album, which raises the old "which came first?" conundrum. The simplist and safest resolution to this argument is to say that these bands (THE DOORS, BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD, etc,) were all influenced by, worked in, and contributed to the "melting pot" (no pun intended) that was the LA music scene at that time. In addition, there are even a few "touches" of British influence here, but those were also evident on their first album. Overall, this is an album that is unique enough to have withstood the test of time and continues to provide aural pleasures to new listeners. It has been suggested that drug use may have contributed to the oblique lyrics on this album and, yes, the breakup of the original (and best) incarnation of this band. Beyond this explanation, however, is the poetic aspects of the lyrics which allow us to impose and fill in our own intrepretations of the songs. That quality has contributed to their lasting appeal and is at the base of much good art. Like all great artists (whether it is Picasso or the Beatles) it was their ability to combine old things in new ways that made them unique and transcend the obvious and mundane. You either tell a great and universal story that everyone can relate to or you create an environment in/on which people can superimpose their own experiences. LOVE could certainly tell a straightforward rock and roll tale, but it stood out for its ability to do the latter.
Highest Recommendation.......2007-05-26
The best acoustic guitar rock/pop album of all time. Sure, at times its sentimental, cheesy and sixtyish, but WTF, so am I. About the remastering job from Rhino, you're absolutely right, it should have been much better. Oh well. Peace
Forever Changes forever!.......2007-05-17
Greatest Album Ever! There's so many versions available these days though, I thought I'd chime in and recommend this one for the music. The sound is a great improvement over the first single CD release AND there's bonus tracks. Don't fall for the more recent 2007 release. No extra tracks and the print is so small you won't be able to read who did what witout a magnifying glass. If you've never bought this album, I suggest buying this CD version along with the Sundazed vinyl release. Sundazed puts out a killer re-issue with excellent art reproduction and quality vinyl. It's actally fun to play the vinyl and CD at the same time and switch back and forth to see if there's any difference. CDs are so intrenched in todays culture that people forget that a clean vinyl copy on a good turntable sounds just as good, and sometimes better. All this talk bout digital this and digital that also makes folks forget that speakers as well as human ears are, and always will be, analog!

Sousa's marches.......2007-06-28
Excellent CD! I'm happy with the speed in which it arrived at our home.
OK, But Not As Good As the Original.......2006-08-12
It's OK, but doesn't have the quality of Sousa's original songs which were also played by a United States Marine Band.
Sousa Marches, MC Band.......2006-08-04
I was totally happy with the CD. It was everything I expected it to be. Thanks Much
This is so great!.......2005-03-27
This music speaks to my inner being, my father was a Marine with the ETC, and it was not an easy time. Music like this helped him think about how the best things in life are two doors down on the left, just a shade away from peace. I love this music, track 13 speaks to me so much that I am not sure if I have the time to listen as much as I want to! Such great music!
A Great Sousa Collection.......2004-12-15
These recordings seem to date from the 1960s and reflect a style of play that is impossible to find today. Some people might consider the sound to be too bright, the entrances too aggressive. But I think this is more authentic for Sousa than what one generally hears today. Sousa himself is known to have preferred "enthusiastic" entrances from his players, to have favored an "orchestral" sonority for his band and to have played his marches in strict tempo with no ritards or tempo changes. That is what you have on this disc, which features the Marine Band under Lt. Col. Albert Schoepper, who also conducts on Volume 3 of Altissimo's Sousa Original series.

Guster's formula is quite simple: Take time-tested harmonies à la Simon and Garfunkel or the Hollies, pour them over pleasant acoustic guitars, and add a pinch of congas for toe-tapping made easier. Lost and Gone Forever all but screams "radio friendly!" (especially with hit-producing wunderkind Steve Lillywhite at the knobs), but luckily the final product is more palatable than that. The musical plan is occasionally augmented by an electric guitar or strings, but generally follows harmonious sounds over articulate voices. Some people will listen to Lost and Gone Forever and find it too slight and completely corny, but others will fall under the spell of Ryan Miller and Adam Gardner's full-bodied vocal blend. --Jason Josephes
Customer Reviews:
The best guster CD if not the best CD ever.......2007-04-28
I have bought this CD a year ago and to this day it remains in my stereo all the time. Every single song on it is an instant guster classic and each song is very catchy in its own way. What you wish for is easily the best opening song on any guster cd to date. The bongos perfectly blend with the acoustic and electric guitars creating the most perfect musical sound i have ever heard, even better than the catchiness of oar or even dave matthews band.
The barrell of a gun is easily my favorite guster song of all time and i have listened to it 95 times on my i pod alone. Either way and FaFa are both extremely catchy but either way is mellower. I spy is short leading into the cuter sounding center of attention and all the way up to heaven (the whistling is very catchy i whistled this song in the halls of school one day). Happier so long and two points for honesty are on the mellow side but they are still great listens. Rainy day starts off mellow and builds up to being another one of gusters best songs.
Bottom line, this CD is possibly the best CD ever made. Barrell of a gun is one of the best songs ever made. Look at their live album and notice that almost every song from this cd is played on that live album and they all sound amazing. Guster is an amazing band and once you listen to this cd it will be imprinted in your head forever.
One of my favorite albums EVER.......2007-02-05
I love all types of music (rock, alternative, folk, jazz, country, bluegrass, etc. etc.) and listen to a little bit of everything. Having said that, if I was on a deserted island for a year, this would be on my top 5 of CD's to listen to repeatedly. The harmonies are amazing, the songs are Beatlesesque, and the pacing is great (except for the last song, Rainy Day, which I think even the band admits is kind of a "downer" after the rest of the (fairly) upbeat album). I've liked every CD they've done since then, but I'm not sure if they will match the brilliance of this CD. They are great musicians, they seem to be great guys (in interviews, in concert, etc.), they have a sense of humor about themselves, and they deserve their success.
This album sucks.......2007-01-16
After buying this album based on the excellent reviews, I will always, from now on, look at the negative reviews before buying. This album sucks. This music consists of brain-dead lyrics with a presumably emasculated lead singer(this surely is a modern guy capable of crying). This is not chill-out music - it is properly classified as "modern whining". And it's not good.
the best music is somtimes found by accident :).......2007-01-04
If you are tired of all the same music you hear on the radio all day, then you should give a listen to Guster,they are original in the most perfect way.I love the powerful lyrics and great sound. just give it chance for the love of great music :)
An AMAZING album!.......2006-06-29
This is the only album I have ever voted 5 stars in my entire life. Guster is a great band, and this is the pinncale of their works. If you are new to Guster, THIS is the album to get!
See the other reviews, listen to the samples, and you will know THIS is the one Guster album that everyone should own!

I wanted to purchase this cd when it first came out but I procastinated and I was sorry because it is an excellent cd. I especially love all of the jazz rendentions of Luther's compositions. I listen to this cd almost every day. I loved Luther singing the songs and now I love listening to the music.
...for Luther II.......2007-03-11
I loved it. Anything by Luther Vandross, and particularly by these musicians, is wonderful and soothing to the soul. Thank God he left us so much of his music.

LOVE IT.......2007-05-17
THIS IS A GREAT CD. ITS FULL OF FREESTYLE HITS FROM THE LATE 80S AND EARLY 90S. MOST OF THE SONGS ON THIS CD DONT EVEN GET PLAYED ON THE RADIO ANYMORE. IF YOU WORK OUT THIS IS THE CD FOR YOU. I HAVE A COUPLE FAVORITES ON THIS CD- "TWO TO MAKE IT RIGHT" AND "SPING LOVE". 2 SONGS I GREW UP LISTENING TO. I WOULD SPEND MY LAST $20 ON THIS CD AND I THINK YOU SHOULD TOO.
Freestyle.......2007-04-11
This is great. It's has all the freestyle hits that I grew up with. It's brings me back to a happy carefree time in my life. I think everyone should get it.
For those among us whose Fever for Dance Burns Hotter then Saturday Night.......2007-03-17
This CD has many great popular Freestyle songs .There is no reason to not get it.
Although I recomend the two disk version, this CD is also very good but not as long. I would give the 2 disk set a 5 star rating.
The one disk will make you feel cheated compared to the 2 disk set.
Any freak would beg for the full pallette of songs.
This one disk version omits the biggest Freestyle star .
Ms.Judy Torres is not on the CD.
Judy has been feeding us Freaks the beat for our feet for a long time and still does.
Where would Freestyle be without her and all her sexy vocal Latinaness.
Her missing may hurt sales.Whoever caused that made a big mistake.
It gives me many hours of dance pleasure a week.
I wish that a volume 2 and more of ths CD becomes available.
I would also like to take this opportunity to say Thank You to all the Freestyle singers who provide this pleasure to us Freaks.
I also appreciate all the reviews that are posted so I can also learn.
Well, I do hope that this review helps .
It has been a pleasure to supply input.
Respectively,
Michael
Now go play the CD and Dance. Express yourself .Dancing to that music even takes the blues away. Freestyle Music is like Medicine.

Worship Together CD.......2007-05-19
This is a must have CD for Christian families. We play this CD over and over on long car rides and sing and praise the Lord. Even the little ones know the words to the songs by heart now.
Great CD!!!.......2007-05-10
this is the first Christian CD I've bought and I LOVE IT!!! My 5 and 3 year olds love it too. I wouldn't even know it was religious music if there weren't lyrics. Awesome!
Loving it!!!.......2007-01-12
I love this Cd I feel I made a good choice with purchasing it. I love most of the songs on this CD. Thanks again Amazon..
Amen to this music!!!.......2006-11-10
I bought this CD because there were a couple of songs on it that we sing in our Church that I really liked and have to say that I received it on Friday and it is now Thursday and I have not stopped listening to it. It is playing at work, in my car, I am singing along with it and singing the songs alone without it. I love love love it. I have also recommended it to a couple of co-workers. I HIGHLY recommend it to you.
The Best music I own.......2006-09-26
This truly is the best Christian music collection I own. If I could only have one Album to listen to, this would be the one (it is actually a 2 CD Set). I have purchased 4 copies to give away and share this inspiring collection with others. I only take time to rate things that stand out, and this does! It is a Beautiful Collection of Contemporary Christian Music that everyone can enjoy.
