Forever is the second studio album by English rock band Cranes. It was released on 26 April 1993 by Dedicated Records.
Critical reception
Melody Maker ranked Forever as the 24th best album of 1993.
In a retrospective review for AllMusic, Ned Raggett stated that Forever saw Cranes building on the mixture of "elegant restraint" and "brusque power" that characterised their 1991 debut album Wings of Joy. He noted that Forever "went to extremes in both directions – the quieter moments were even more hushed and shadowed, the louder points all that much more whip-snap cruel."
