Reviews (page 7 of 7)
It's the kind of folk music that made me think all folk was boring and not good 4/10
Definitely not my cup of tea. Very clear Medieval Manor vibes on this album. Probably one of the picks that may have been big in England but never caught on in the US that some people have mentioned in reviews of the book. Sounds like movie/tv/musical theater tunes from the 70s.
My familiarity with The Beau Brummels is quite sparse, but on this 1967 record they sound miles behind their folky contemporaries. The songs are underdeveloped, and throw in an uninspiring and sloppy production and the end result is a truly unremarkable record. 'And I've Seen Her' and 'Old Kentucky Home' tempted me to give this a 1/5, but the 'The Wolf of Velvet Fortune' luckily manages to raise this to a 2/5.
Never heard of this group before, but I really didn't enjoy this. It just seems to me like the worst of Neil Diamond and Bob Dylan combined.
Nah this was a snoozefest. Dylan-esque vocals and standard stoned hippie vibes. Next.
No es lo mío.
Kinda meh
Good time, all sounded similar tho
They say you shouldn't judge an album by its cover, but having looked at this album cover and then listened to the album I have to say that I got exactly what I thought I would.
White sixties sounds to the highest degree. Sounds like the Byrd's, Velvet Underground, and the Yardbirds' stylistically, with some interesting horns mixed in. The vocals are a bit samey throughout. It's not all that bad, just doesn't have anything special going for it.
Absurdly boring. 4/10
1967, here we fucking go again lol. Ok, to be fair this was *almost* on the bearable side of the whole late 60s folk rock psychedelia bullshit. But the guy's voice was really, really grating. This gets a 2/5.
Meh, ekki mitt stöff. Ágætur flutningur svo sem, en lagasmíðin ómerkileg.
I thought it was ok then I was like, would I listen to it again? No. So 2 it is
This really ain’t my thing… twee, folky, 60s nonsense. I think you had to be there!
Boring hippy shit
Good but not really my cup of tea
Genre: Folk Rock 2/5 A mid-to-late 60s UK Bob Dylan ripoff. The style is so delightfully ripped off that it became miserable to listen to halfway through. Bland, uneventful, shallow pop folk that sometimes feels like you're trapped in a renaissance fair. An album so bland and uneventful, my girlfriend and I hadn't realized that the playlist was set on repeat and the album had started over again until it was 2 songs deep again. This is yet another example of an editor masturbating himself over a deep cut album with no merits beyond its copy-and-paste style of the times. "You've never heard Triangle??? DUDE! It's so BLAND, you'll LOVE IT!" Totally skippable, not essential, and I still can't believe Days of Future Passed is not in this book, and this Beau Brummels deep cut made it.
Didn't love it.
A few tunes I enjoyed, but overall just not my style. Glad I got to know them, an interesting folk + british invasion vibe.
Bit prunesy for me
Only a touch better than prunes.
ok
hm
This had a fun sound but its not going to upstage the Beatles as an album I pick out regularly or anything.
I don’t think this one would make my list of 1001 albums to hear before I die.
2 1/2
Ha, don’t know about this one. Not sure I took it seriously. Lighthearted early ‘pop’ sound from the 60s. A little reminiscent of the Monkeys? Lead vocals are unimpressive, none of the lyrics really reached out and grabbed me and Painter of Woman reminded me of Bob Dylan, a few songs even, who I’ve never been impressed with. Was hoping to maybe find a diamond in the rough but gave up on that after the inspiring ‘Magic Hollow’. Surprised it’s in the 1001 before you die list; pretty sure I could have died happy without ever hearing this album. Almost went with a 1 star but figure it’s a product of it’s time. ‘Old Kentucky Home’ may have also saved the 1 star rating but song still wasn’t anything to write home about.
First off: weird album cover. Second, the singer's voice reminds me a lot of Bob Dylan, but somehow quite worse. Nothing really stuck with me on this album, save for maybe one or two tracks. Favorite track: "Magic Hollow"
like the byrds
50. Triangle - The Beau Brummels 11 tracks. There were elements of this that I liked, (strings at start of Only Dreaming are amazing), & strings consistent throughout the album, but despite me also liking the vocals I wanted more.... punch! 2/5
Wanna be Bob Dylans try their hands at folk/psychedelic rock with fairly bland results. 60's reverb abound. Best Tracks: Are You Happy?; It Won't Get Better; Magic Hollow
Never heard of this. It was alright I guess
I had never heard of these guys, nor the album. It was fine, late 60s US folk.
I had never heard of these guys, nor the album. It was fine, late 60s US folk.
Passable 60s psychedelic rock, stylistically clearly based on the British band invasion but this is mostly forgettable and occasionally dreadful. The Wolf of Velvet Fortune is a rare diamond in the rough.
Tjemig, dat was veel van hetzelfde..
Ene oor in, andere uit. Niet vervelend, niet goed, niet slecht, gewoon saai ben ik bang
Beau Brummels? Nog nooit van gehoord. En dat het wat mij betreft ook een reden: Ik snap echt niet wat dit was. Het klinkt als een soort persiflage. Maar het schijnt bittere ernst te zijn met die Brummels.
Zonder die vibrato in de stem zou het een stuk beter te pruimen zijn.
Sounds like The Zombies with the lead singer doing a Bob Dylan impression... I like the style but nothing really stuck to me.
Song 1, 4, 11: not a fan. Song 2, 3, 5, 8, 9: ok. Song 6, 7, 10: enjoyed them. Many songs are a bit too country for me, and as mentioned before I'm not a fan of vibrato, but overall it was decent. Difficult decision, but ultimately 2 stars as I don't really like it enough to listen to it again.
Didnt h8 didnt luv
No … that voice gets on my pip
Hmmm, jo. Jag hör likheter med deras samtida Beatles. Lite sång i kör och dylikt och känslan jag har under stora delar under albumet är att jag lyssnar på budget-beatles. Under dom partier blir det lite småtråkigt och dom övertygar mig inte varför jag ska lyssna på dom istället för originalet. Men det är andra gånger där soundet går lite åt ett annat håll och det genast blir lite intressantare. Bäst: "The wolf of velvet fortune"
pretty cool alubm, but just really not my thing tbh.

Nothing Special
Pssss, ni fu ni fa.
Not my thing. Glad it exists, but not my thing.
Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Are You Happy?, Only Dreaming Now Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Sure. Fine. Bob Dylan esque vocals. Whatever. 2.5 rounded down cus it's ok.
Bootleg Bob Dylan, not very interesting. A few catchy songs but nothing substantial enough to warrant talking about.
Tasapaksua folk-poppia, ei jäänyt oikein mitään käteen. Ainakin levy oli lyhyt, eikä turhaan koitettu pidentää!
The singer sounds a lot Dylan. The arrangements are good and while I like a few of the songs, The Wolf of Velvet Fortune, and Magic Hollow, for example, overall the song-writing doesn't grab me. I can't put my finger on it, they seem to be written in a more traditional format.
Hat ein paar schöne Momente, bringt mich aber im großen und ganzen wieder zur alten Einsicht: Folk ist nix für mich, erst recht nicht wenn er nach Mittelalter-Troubadouren klingt.
Very easy listening folk rock/country rock. 3/10, didn't like this one but it could have been worse.
It was over and I didnt even realize I listened to it
2.5 | Navegando a ciegas de nuevo. Lo primero que es obvio es que de nuevo estamos metidos en psicodelia, aunque no se siente tan pronunciada; como tal se oye mucho folk más de inicios de los 60s todavía entremezclado, e incluso un poco de música pop. Esto hace que la música se escuche psicodélica pero de alguna forma inocente y alegre; como si estos hippies estuvieran más preocupados por que "todas las personas sean amigos y se unan" que por "expandir sus horizontes de percepción." Las canciones tienen una tendencia extraña a parecer que alguien le bajo al switch y se apagó todo... terminan como de golpe sin sentido. El siguiente punto bien notorio... parece que está cantando Bob Dylan, enteramente se siente como una imitación (no se si deliberada o incidental) solo que en lugar de "maullar" aquí mete un vibrato grado guajolote correlón; se oye como un Dylan cantando un poquito mejor, pero nada impresionante. Las letras normales para lo que se espera; interesante ver tanta cosa de fantasía alta tal cual se siente Tolkienano en algunas partes. Me siento un poco como cuando escuchamos a Moby Grape... Grupo psicodélico bien hecho pero tampoco espectacular. Me agradó bien el disco pero tampoco me queda mucha tentación de volver a escucharlo o añadirlo a listas.
Meh. 4-5/10
Meh
Like a mix between Bob Dylan and the Beach Boys....not for me.
Es dos pero pudo haber sido tres y también pudo haber sido uno. Difícil.
Sinceramente hubo un par de canciones que me latieron. Esperaba menos
This was weird and not in a good Way.
Kinda fun, did not know who/what sang Laugh Laugh but form some reason I remember it from Uncle Buck.
1.5| Hijole, yo escuché una copia de Dylan. Su Folk psicodélico no me agradó tanto
Worth it for the history. Not my American cup of tea
Blaaaaaah. Eipä jäänyt jälkipolville kerrottavaa tästä levystä.
Ei herättänyt tunteita
Catchy, not for me
2/10 = not for me sorry to the brummels, again if i liked bob dylan i would probably like this a lot more but i dont particularly love his voice so i didn't really like their attempt at his style, some nice instrumentals and riffs but nothing i would feel compelled to come back to, tried reheating maxwell's silver hammer nachos and burnt them
Music for the Dungeon Master’s after party. Is that dueling lutes, I hear? Fun fact - Playing this album today can keep you from getting laid just as easily as it did 500 years ago!
Decidedly "Knights of the Round Table" – not for me
Sry, no.
This is absolutely bloody awful. I quite like some of the 1960s San Francisco hippy scene music like Jefferson Airplane or Country Joe & The Fish, but they had vocalists that could sing in a style that fits the music. The Beau Brummels do not. Sal Valentino has a Bob Dylanesque voice on here that was actively painful to listen to. I wasn't able to get over it to enjoy the jangly psychedelia of the music. At least it was under 30 minutes.
Temu Velvet Underground
Nope
Zzz
From the cover over the band name to the music, this is not good.
another boring 60s rock album for me.
p107. 1967. 1 star. 60s white folk songs with no redeeming features. Bland as milk. On the plus side, it's short.
Just not great and not for me
A boring album with annoying shitty vocals. "The pAIYnter of wumeeeeeeeen." At least this was less than half an hour. Favorite Track: The Wolf of Velvet Fortune
Could get no further than 2 songs in - boring
I didn't like it. So low effort, so bland. It's kinda like a boiled unsalted potato. No flavour and just basic.
No reason for this album to be on this list.
I did my damndest to listen to this record, I knew little of this band beforehand. Maybe a random play of a single from their first LP on the radio when I was a child, but nothing that made an impact. I pressed play and got that uneasy feeling, the kind when your schoolmates sibling had to give you a ride home from school and your bones felt every bump of their wooden bead seat covers. The cigarette smoke burning your eyes, the nonsense blaring from their tinny speakers. This is the Beau Brummels, this is that nonsense. Like a Renaissance Fair cover band, a drill to your eardrums. I would only recommend this record to someone if I didn’t like that person. I hesitate to even give it a star. -TomB
23 - The Beau Brummells - Triangle - Rating = 1 Folky jangly acoustic guitar and melodic 60’s male crooning… not offensive but not that interesting either… Jangly Dylan? Violins… gypsy accordion… spoken word crooning… urgency… not really… This is just something I would never listen to. Too folky, too whiny croony, Dylan-like… just nothing that grabs me at all…. Skipped through most of this as it’s just not what I want.
Hmm
i couldn’t finish it, boring
When you order bob Dylan from temu
Pseudo psychedelic nonsense
So first 10 mins I thought yeah it’s music from 67, it is what it is. Next 10 mins I’m thinking it belongs in 67, it’s just not aged well. And the final 8 mins I’m convinced it’s a pretty shit album full stop
Mit Triangle (1967) entfernten sich The Beau Brummels deutlich vom Beat-geprägten Frühwerk und wandten sich einem introspektiven Folk- und Baroque-Pop-Sound zu. Die US-amerikanische Band nahm das Album in den Columbia Studios in Hollywood, Kalifornien, auf. Die Arrangements setzen auf akustische Instrumente, zurückhaltende Rhythmik und Streicher, was dem Material eine kammermusikalische Note gibt. Songs wie „Magic Hollow“, „Painter of Women“ oder „The Wolf of Velvet Fortune“ stehen exemplarisch für den gereiften Ansatz: weniger eingängig als frühere Hits, dafür melodisch vielschichtig und textlich reflektiert. Der psychedelische Einfluss bleibt spürbar, wirkt jedoch kontrolliert und in die Komposition eingebunden. ür mich wirkt Triangle wie ein leises, in sich stimmiges Album zwischen Folk-Rock und Psychedelic Pop, das mehr durch seine geschlossene Atmosphäre als durch einzelne herausragende Momente auffällt, mich letztlich jedoch nicht wirklich erreicht.
This was so dull I feel like it’s a prank that it’s even on here. The most interesting thing about it is the album art and even that feels derivative.
Não gostei, vocal chatinho... Talvez funcionaria bem pra cena de filme, música de estrada ou de transição para personagens trabalharem em algo...! :P
What the hell - thought this was from a mighty wind!
Bosta
Too many late 60s/early 70s albums on this list that all sound too similar…
Nope
Sounded like a bad monkees album trying to be Bob Dylan
Nope.
The guys voice was annoying
Ein bisschen langweilig. Sehr kurzes Album.
Meh
This was annoying – the music itself, but also that there are so many of these albums on this list. There's nothing special that elevates them, or even any distinct quality that sets them apart from the hundreds of other bands that sound exactly like this from the same time period. Also, the lead vocal is too forward in the mix. It's aggressive and obnoxious. But squint at that album cover a little, and you can see the faces of Charlie, Dennis, and Mac, and if you keep that Always Sunny trio in mind for a song or two, it becomes very, very funny. (Or maybe I just haven't slept enough lately.)
Complete waste of time
1. happy - 1 2. nouu - 1 3. uuomen - 1 4. time - 1.5 5. better -1 6. hammer - 0 7. magic - 1 8. her -1 9. triangle - 1 10. velvet - 1.5 11. home - 1.5
3/10
beautiful cover but boring
Aucun intérêt pour moi !
very 60's very folky, almost feels like a pastiche of itself
"Are you happy?" - Yes, but mainly because the album is only 28 minutes long. Their album cover looks like it was made by someone in primary school. What a rubbish album
Absolute guff, there is a reason no one has heard of, or talks about the Beau fucking Brummels, and that is that they stink. Dull as dishwater, dweeb music, the kind of music that you put on whilst driving around San Francisco in the 60s, and hope the Zodiac killer finally puts you out of your misery. Magic Hollow is the one saving grace on this album. Just put something 4 the weekend on repeat instead.
Music to torture your worst enemy to
Meh
Dire
If zero was an option ….
The first Temu Dylan track wasn't too bad, but the rest was pretty annoying. Not sure whether this is a low two or high one. Will go with the latter
Wow, this is everything I hate about 60s music. The lead singer sounds like the Temu Bob Dylan and his goatish vibrato is nearly intolerable. The music vacillates between too jangly and too psychedelic for me. Some of the melodies were ok minus the vocals. I should’ve trusted the band when they told me on track five “It Won’t Get Better” because they weren’t lying. I refused to give up on the album though because I haven’t done so yet in my project and aim not to, no matter how much I dislike what I’m hearing. The only positive from this listening experience is I learned who Beau Brummell was. When I was assigned this album, I recognized the band name from the line “Well you could really be a Beau Brummell baby, If you just give it half a chance” in Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me.” Considering that’s one of my favorite songs and I’d never thought twice about the significance behind that line, I’ll call this a win.
Weird, and awful.
Pass.
Bad
One-sided triangle.
Any person that can play and write music to me is worthy of admiration, and any person/band making a list like this is a true talent and credit to artistic achievement. Not every album on this list is going to grade well for me, and this is going into that pile. I struggle to see who would listen to this in 2025. Sure, it’s hard for me to hate on this and be a fan of a band like The Decemberists, but they at least have some edge and catchiness. This is like something you hear in the background at a Ren Faire.
Started off weak and somehow got worse. There's something decent behind some of the music, but the vocals are shocking and warbley. Rocky, folk, whale blubber built on magic mushrooms and tree hugging, cocaine sniffers. Boring.
I couldn't be any less interested in finishing this album.
In ancient times, hundreds of years before the dawn of history, lived an ancient race of people – the druids. Nobody knows who they were, or what they were doin'. But their legacy remains, hewn into the living rock of Stonehenge.
Felt like an early Beatles album fronted by Dylan, but no in a good way. Didn't like it maybe I'm missing something
The only positive here is that the album is only 27 minutes long, although it does feel longer
My joy at noticing this album came in at less than 30mins was short lived.
I had never heard of these guys before and was excited about discovering a new (to me) artist - especially as this was a tight 28 minutes, so my normal objection to self indulgent over long songs couldn't apply. Alas from the first held note, which unfortunately occurs 6 seconds into the album, it was apparent I HATE his wavery vibrato. Like "have a visceral reaction to his warbling nonsense" level hate. I tried to stop listening to him so I only heard the instrumental, and honestly that was helping a lot until I hit Nine Pound Hammer. The "tink" sound (that I assume was supposed to be a hammer, but which actually sounded like someone tapping a 10p coin against a teacup) was nearly as annoying as his wibbly wobbly crooning. If I were to mark this on the songs, it'd probably get a 2.5/5, but I was pleased it was over, so: 1/5
#11 Triangle ~ The Beau Brummels The Beau Brummels were a band in the 60s that rode the wave of psychedelic rock. It's a real shame about the lyrics, cause everything about this record is as dry as white toast. It was a bit of a snorefest to get through this album, with the somewhat outdated instrumentals and lazy vocals. Is there really anything to say about this album, about from the lyrics, that I found worthy to talk about? Verdict: ...
1 stern
Why the fuck is this here
Might be okay on shrooms but otherwise I never want to hear it again.
Take a dose of Dylan and add horrible song writing and you have this album. The best thing about it was that it was only 28 painful minutes long.
Kinda ok but nothing I'm going to revisit. Cool to read their Wikipedia page and learn about them since I'd never heard of them before.
Notable for being a sort of generic 1960s folk-rock-pop with very up-down-up-down vocal lines, telling stories about painters of women and timekeepers and suchlike. Always on the verge of achieving a certain likeness to Cat Stevens or even Syd Barrett in sound and quality of songwriting. But not ever getting there by a long shot in the end.
I would have been perfectly fine having never heard this , the music is boilerplate for the time and it’s mediocre at best .
Eén van die honderden bands die in de slipstream van The Beatles hetzelfde succes wilde beleven, maar door pure middelmaat en weinig unieke capaciteiten hebben ze niet echt een onuitwisbare indruk achtergelaten op het pop-landschap van de 60s. Toch hebben zij deze lijst gehaald, in tegenstelling tot zoveel van de bands die hetzelfde lot ondergingen. Ik ben er niet achter gekomen waarom. Het is geinige muziek voor de Muppet Show of iets dergelijks, meer niet. 5/10
Terrible.
More of this maypole shit.
From the band name and album cover I was expecting worse, but the first song is defying expectations. Folk/rock/country in some measure, similar to Manassas or CSN or The Flying Burrito Brothers or the Eagles, each with a different level of success. Only Dreaming Now is not as good as Are You Happy? This album is getting worse and worse. Nine Pound Hammer is better. All the songs are short and the album is only 29 minutes long which is a huge plus. This is like psychedelic Simon and Garfunkel, in the worst possible way. Simon and Garfunkel probably stuffed these magic loving dorks into a locker when they saw them. It's like trippy Jim Croce. Only 29 minutes and I'm still counting the seconds until it's over. I don't hate the cover of My Old Kentucky Home.
Listened twice and I honestly didn't think about what I was listening to more than once or twice. Maybe I'm stressed, or maybe this album just isn't that good.
Temu Bob Dylan
I really didn't want to listen to this album. 1. I've never heard of them. 2. The album cover is stupid. 3. The Wikipedia description states that ther are a psychedelic band. 4. Some reviews compared the vocalist to Dylan. All reasons to stay away. Well, as it turns out, my trepidation was completely warranted. This album is the quintessential definition of 'not for me'.
Gear: Grado Hemp Artwork: 🌷🌷🌷 Production: 🫢🤔🤷 Music: 🤔😮🤯 Rating: 🔺(🔺)/5
Why the fuck is this here, did they just add any old album written by white people in the 60s? 1*
this album sounds like a musty attic the fact that this came out the same year as sgt pepper, are you experienced, velvet underground & nico….makes you appreciate those records more some people should be bullied more
A forgotten band’s fourth album after more talented people left the group? Bad, thin vocals and odd, jangly psychedelic country folk rock? This is clearly not an album anyone needed to hear before they died. 1⭐️
Music for people who say they don't listen to music. Another faceless, uninspired, unremarkable band attempting to cash in on British Invasion hype.
Seltsames Gebrummel!?!
This sounds like an alpha test of Colin Melody. Glad they eventually worked all the bugs out
Not good! Should've heeded the warning that "It Won't Get Better." Basic 60s folk but not like Bob Dylan or Jimi Hendrix or the good stuff. I listened twice and gave up.
(Mutters to self, within a record store) “Hmm need something new…” BAM! A know-it-all curmudgeon appears and gives unsolicited advice: “Have you heard of The Beau Brummels? They’re in-creeeeedible”. (Me, being nice) “Ah, I see they’re in the clearence section. I’ll give it a go!” *Flash-forward to one day later. I’m in heaven, in a water aerobics class with Elvis, the entire 27 Club, and OJ Simpson’s wife (turns out, he DID do it?!)* Elvis: “Hey bu-bu-bu-baby, what are you in for? (Strikes pose). Me: “Uhh Elvis, that’s not the move we’re supposed to be doing. I was killed because I listened to the most generic 60s music imaginable. It was like forcing Bob Dylan to run up a mountain, then immediately jamming a pencil in his hand and screaming ‘WRITE DOWN SOME WORDS AND SING IT WITH MY COUSINS, BOBBY.’ Kinda like what that would sound like.” Elvis: “Oh mu-mu-mu-man, that sounds like a real drag, man. What band was it?” Me: “This band I’d never heard of that made it on the 1001 Albums list. You’d think with so many great bands left off the list that when a critic goes out of their way to include something fresh, it’d be interesting and unique at the very least. Nope - it was some band called The Beau Bummels?” Elvis: “DAMN man, when I died on the can that’s what was playin’!” Entire water aerobics class: “SAME!” Entirety of heaven: “SAME!” Uhh yeah, all to say: 1*
Nah
Garbage. Never heard these nerds before, and I hope to never again. 1/5.
The stuff of nightmares.
No
No creo que este disco de Beau Brummels debería estar en la lista por múltiples razones, pero la más importante es que es un esfuerzo sumamente olvidable, sobre todo para una década en donde se estaba lanzando música que revolucionaría el panorama del pop por décadas. Este disco no influenció a nadie. No es lo suficientemente country, no es lo suficientemente folk, no es lo suficientemente experimental o psicodélico. Sálteselo, realmente es una pérdida de tiempo. PD: La voz del vocalista es INSOPORTABLE. Y te lo dice una persona que disfruta de casi todo el catálogo de Bob Dylan y Neil Young.
Incessantly dull. Not psychedelic enough to be Jefferson Airplane nor talented enough to be The Mamas and The Papas; not old enough to be Geoffrey Chaucer nor interesting enough to be Scott Walker. This is what racists might pick as typical white person music.
Forgettable hippy stuff
Not for me
Weak 60s folk music, sung in an annoying whiny voice. Somebody’s picker is off to think that I had to listen to this one. A 1.5 but I can’t stretch it to two starts.
Terrible stuff. Not offensively bad, just so boring and nondescript that it completely faded into the background. I couldn't tell you anything about it now. There's a reason so much of this psychedelic and folk music has been memory-holed.
Just a lot weird...
No joy with any of those songs.
Maybe it’s ok but there’s so much way way better similar stuff out there
Bob Dylan’s squeaky little brother leading a band who tried to use every 60’s instrument- badly.
As soon as Apple Music compared the lead singer of this band to Dylan, I knew it was going to be terrible. It sure was disappointing.
Nicht meine Richtung
Nah
Pretty sure that all the Spotify plays for the first track of this album came from this horrible list generator.
Bleh
Nope nope nope. So boring. Not a single song worth going back to.
Groupe inconnu. Bon, seconde révélation pour moi : après a folk, la country n'est pas pour moi non plus ... Heureusement cet album est court, mais j'ai eu du mal à l'écouter jusqu'au bout. En plus je n'aime pas la façon de chanter (trop de vibrato). => 1/5
Mary, Mary, quite contrary, playing this album is unnecessary.
Never heard of these guys. Interesting to see what they sound like. Figured they would sound like what they look like for that era. Not sure how long I'll last listening to this. eh. not for me
It’s a cross of country, bluegrass, Bob Dylan, and psychedelia. Thought this was okay at first but his vibrato become increasingly piercing to the ear in an icepick way as the album continued.
yeah nah, this shouldnt be on this list...
I wish I had died before listening to this album. The only good thing about this is 28 minutes was long enough for me to locate and load a gun but not long enough for me to pull the trigger. Bland instrumentals and boring vocals with a repetitive structure :/. A couple of okay songs at the end weren't enough. Fav songs: - The Wolf Of Velvet Fortune - Old Kentucky Home
kjedelig
Not only cliched but more than a bit creepy on content. Why so much of this?
This is some freshmen team shit. All I had to do was hear their version of nine pound hammer with tiny hammer backing. It sounds like the scene with Ben Stiller in the mines in Zoolander. Sorry dudes.
NO standouts on this album
Not my style
Goddamn snore fest bro
Not really for me. Too slow, too homo. 1.5
Just no.
Not sure what the hell this was.
Really annoying. Did not like the vocals at all.
I don’t know if I have a bad day and then I get an album that I judge to be lacklustre, or I get an album that’s sub-par and I have a bad day. Either way - bleah.
Enhhh
First time listen. I see the influence on coming San Fran sounds, but this is not yet formed and the lead singers voice is quite annoying.
3/10 "highlights": The Wolf of Velvet Fortune
Tambourines, tubas and trumpets... and Triangles... with lots of la-di-da campfire folkiness. Just didn't appeal to me. Not a single song, I'm afraid. It has to be 1 star so
Boring stuff dude
no, i am not happy! the beau brummels' triangle album is not good. it's nearly indistinguishable from other sixties music, and it's unremarkable, to boot. the voices of the two singers leave a lot to be desired. i'm not claiming that singers must have clear voices, because a not perfect voice can be amazing, but like. c'mon.
Boring
I didn’t like this. Very boring but thankfully it was short.
I didn’t like it that much.
Not my kind of music. Pretty repeatitive.
There are so many of these 60s psychedelic bands on this list. And almost all of them should have just been given by time. This is one of them. There is nothing of value here.
Forgettable
Awful
blud meni levykaupaan ja sokkona valitsi yhen kirjotti kirjaan ja luuli etten huomaisi smh.... 28minuutin teos ei sentään tuhlaa aikaani, paitsi 28 minuuttia heh....This list has a lot more of these records than necessary. I just got one of these psychedelic folk albums two days ago, and here it's the same quiet jangly sound, the same shaky vocals, and the same ’60s Woodstock vibe. tykkään tuosta arvostelusta..sanoihin laittoi kivasti paitsi väärällä kielellä heh WRONG TONGUE I SAY...heh jumala loi kaikille oma kieli, ei voi vaihtaa.... wolf of velvet fortune
Nah. Tried to listen but just couldn’t get into it, although The Wolf of Velvet Fortune is a bit intense-I liked that one. Listen again: no Purchase for my collection: no Favourite Song: The Wolf of Velvet Fortune
Nope. Like a poor man’s Violent Femmes sitting on a sybian.
Yuck hippies
I lost interest in this album about 3 songs in...
Blergh
Sounds like what one would expect out of a recording of a bunch of kindergarten kids randomly bumping into one another.
Imagine if you took Thr Velvet Underground and removed everything good about them, and mixed with early Dylan (with everything good about him removed) - that’s what they sound like
Jopas on Tarinaa ja eri genreä, mutta silti tosi tosi 60-lukua. Plääh tosi tylsä
Tulee mieleen joku nykyajan retrobändi, joka onnistuu kusettamaan tietämättömiä ihmisiä sillä, että heidän musiikkinsa edustaa muka "aitoa" 60-lukua.
This was just weird...and not in a good way. It sounds sort of like a movie, and sort of like one of those books I got as a kid that came with a play along record. Either way, it was not good.
It's just kinda boring, it doesn't really do anything new or interesting. There's a bit too much bland folk on this list
More psychedelic nonsense I bet
Another folk album. This was not great. Sounds like Bob Dylan but not as good
First track - skip. Country. Second track - skip. Accordion. Third track - do I listen to this? It's a bit psychedelic. A blind gentleman who's the painter of women? Skip. Fourth track - OK. Let's give this a crack. There's an unfortunate ukele (or is it a banjo?) backing. But I didn't skip. Fifth track - take the pretty young girls, they don't get better. Yeah, seems a bit paedo. All the pretty girls -stop crying because you can look better... So paedo and misogynistic. Double win. Sixth track - I think I'm losing the will to live. Skip. Seventh track - skip. No comment needed. Eighth track - is this over yet? Ninth track - oh, gods it isn't. Ten. Let's channel our inner Zorba the Greek and combine it with our very best corn-worshipping guff. Last track - at least this is a bit more upbeat than the last one. Overall. Did not enjoy. Won't listen again.
Boring and so so American sounding. Not my type of music at all.
No, è una noia senza fine.
Can't stand the vocalist, a tough listen
Bob Dylan should either sue or be sued...
Sorry, I don't like country music.
gefällt nicht wirklich
Whoever put this album on this list was having a laugh. Absolute toilet.
What on earth is this? Medieval, folk, gallic, psychedelia. Very sparse sounding. No oomph. Too weird for me. 1/5.
Nope. Not for me.
nope
An album from the 60's that has no standout moments. Ruined my Sunday morning.
Boring.
An unpleasant and boring 1960s pop album.
a little too hippy but nice background cleaning music
do i look like a cowboy
AWFUL!!
Poor, very thin, lacking any real substance.
Tired of this boring psychedelic rock 60s bullshit lmao I just don't like it
Cannot stand that way of singing

Too dated in my opinion. Might need some psilocybin to make this more listenable.
Nah, not for me
Ni al caso
I can't tell who this band wants to be more: Bob Dylan out Velvet Underground.
Sounds adjacent to lots of music I like, but just not doing anything for me. I can hear why the singer's voice is compared to Bob Dylan; maybe it's just an acquired taste, but I haven't acquired it yet in the same way that I have for Dylan or Geddy Lee. Overall not terrible, but didn't find much in terms of bright spots.
some shit beatles sound alike (
