The West Coast group The Beau Brummels return to form with Triangle that mixes country, pop, psychedelic and folk rock. Despite some good reviews it barely dented the US album chart. (US:197)
“The songs on Triangle represent the full music spectrum of The Beau Brummels, with folk-rock, country-rock, and British-pop all mixed together. Many of the songs deal with the mystical aspects of dreams, but the end result is more a consistent theme than a cohesive whole.”
“This album effectively mixes country, pop, psychedelia and folk-rock. It is a lavish work, with strings and horn arrangements that are certainly grand by any estimation. The songs are intricate, well crafted and diverse tales of mystical characters and dreams, mixed with commentaries of a more contemporary focus, complementing each other beautifully.”
“It remains one of my most treasured musical possessions. It is one of the early concept albums, and the instrumentation and vocals are beautiful, but it is the haunting sound, lyrics and melodies that have become securely etched into my memory.”
“I have to admit that I was somewhat disappointed with this album. Triangle has been referred to as a classic album, the best by the band. It does feature several fine strings arrangements, but the overall lack of really good songs, makes the album a pretty dull experience.”
“This music is haunting and deep. I am amazed at the quality in the music, all from a time when albums contained a hit, maybe another good song or two, but were mostly filler. This one is great from the beginning to the end.”
