Triangle

Jangle me to death this was so boring. As always, there’s merit there but I enjoyed the conversations I had over this album much more than the album itself.

not as good as Joni Mitchell’s Blue

Second time this one has come around and it's lost it's luster. Previously rated as Album 15: "Listened twice. It was alright. Would buy if it was in the dollar bin" 3 stars Over 400 albums later I am removing a star because, well, I feel qualified to do so.

Another album I couldn’t finish

I can definitely hear where later bands have taken inspiration from parts of this album. Its not bad but to me it feels old, I more want to listen to other albums than listen through this again but the album and the songs aren't bad in any way.

Gives me Beatles vibes but not in a good way Fave track: Are You Happy?

A fun 28-minutes of Americana pop!

This should feel dime a dozen with the 60s psych rock acts but there is this uncanny feeling around the album that I can't quite place. Feels both American, country-fried, and English. Interesting mix of sounds that is well produced and effortlessly catchy. Makes a lot of sense that Randy Newman was doing some early work on this.

San Francisco Bay Area band delving into psych rock with Bob Dylan-like vocals.not bad but not a standout. Needs another listen.

I have so few feelings about this album. I didn’t hate it, I didn’t love it. I simply listened to it

Very nice

60s folk rock is so nice. I didn't know any of these songs except my old Kentucky home but not this version

Not what I expected. I have Bradley’s Barn, a Nashville sound scape. Here is a psychedelic era album with some really good orchestration and individual songs from very different styles, but anchored by the vocals. “Are You Happy” and “Painter of Women” have strings, “Only Dreaming Now” has an accordion. “Magic Hollow” uses a harpsichord and is absolutely beautiful. While Valentino’s voice is distinctive, it’s dated. It remains the most connected to the psychedelic era and I don’t really appreciate it. Even though the lyrics he songs are amazingly effective anyway. “Wolf of Velvet Fortune” also feels like a predator moving through brush. “Old Kentucky Home” is a hilarious surprise.

Captures that San Francisco sound that was on the verge of turning folk into psychedelic rock that would spawn the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.

A few half decent tracks but plenty more that just passed me by. Rounding up from a 2.5

I found it an easy listen but never got hooked on any of it.

Wow that was completely devoid of any distinctive personality. Which seems entirely the opposite of their namesake, who invented trousers and died a pauper with siphillis. What a guy!

I was surprised by how good this was. It's an incredibly solid, tastefully assembled, and briskly paced folk rock album. I don't have much more for this one right now, but know that it's really good.

Actually not bad. Kinda Beatle-y.

It’s definitely strange and esoteric enough it should be on here… but I didn’t care

This album was much better than I expected. I’m not usually a fan of this genre, but it flows well and is enjoyable from start to finish. It’s not something I’d throw on just to pass the time, but I can understand why it made the list. An unexpected and well-crafted blend of psychedelic and folk rock.

This album is a bit weird. Musically, album cover and all. It's like psychedelic folk pop with some medieval-like (?) moments happening. I think the bookmarks of the album were solid, the in between songs weren't the best and were forgetful. I personally don't think this is a must-hear. This one I believe can be just forgotten to time. Highlight Song/s: "Are You Happy?" and "Old Kentucky Home"

Good moments, especially the first two songs (and, maybe, “Magic Hollow,” the single). But not a consistently strong offering.

leuke nummers maar ook nummers die net jammer zijn

Are You Happy? - 83 Only Dreaming Now - 84 Painter Of Women - 77 The Keeper Of Time - 74 It Won't Get Better - 78 Nine Pound Hammer - 80 Magic Hollow - 72 And I've Seen Her - 75 Triangle - 74 The Wolf Of Velvet Fortune - 69 Old Kentucky Home - 79 Triangle - 74

An ok little jaunt from the Sixties. It's very much but the Beatles, if that's what you're after.

Album #181: Triangle - The Beau Brummels Genre (W): Folk rock, country rock, psychedelic pop, psychedelic rock Singles: Magic Hollow I have listened to this album once before. Thoughts?: This is an extremely forgettable album. I don’t remember anything from it other than it’s a 60’s rock album and the singer sounds like Bob Dylan. Favorite tracks: None of them.

I shrug my shoulders. It's fine, but it's dated badly.

#474 I quite enjoyed this, there’s a definite Bob Dylan sound to the vocals, but that define the album, which is an engaging dose of psychedelic folk rock. Heard before? ❌ Would I revisit? ✅ Listen before you die? ✅ Fave track(s): It Won’t Get Better Rating: 6/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not bad but I think for middling 60s psychedelia I prefer the twee English variant.

Cute enough album. I'd call it hippie-slop as the kids say. I actually think the instrumentals are pretty nice but the singers' voice is so. not good. he's like if all the most banal parts of Bob Dylan's singing were wrung out and concentrated into one guy

Ngl I really liked this!! There were some great instrumentals and some cool cello and strings and it was very folky which is what I like. I also liked the guys voice to which kind of suprised me, it reminded me of bob Dylan’s. The album as a whole felt very magical and that was kind of a theme throughout the lyrics I think. My only complaint was that it was only 29 minutes long :(. Overall I would definitely listen again, 4.56667/5

Sympa country

Miksei 1001-listalla ole yhtään norjalaista black metallia? Entä missä ovat Rammstein, Weezer, Phil Collins, Whitney Houston, Misfits, Deftones ja Chuck Berry? Sen sijaan tässä on taas yksi keskinkertainen ja turvallinen 1960-luvun hippi/folk/psyke/rock-levytys, jolla ei ole yhtään kuuluisaa ja muistettavaa biisiä. Miksi tämä olisi pakollista kuunneltavaa kenellekään?

Again sort of a 2.5

A shape with three sides, three corners, and three angles.

This a lot of nos in a row

Enjoyed

унылые песни, гнусавый вокал, слушать скучно оценка: 1/5

Trash. Extremely annoying voice.

liked this more than I expected, didn't love it but it's a little more on the country-folk line of the drugged out hippie genre and I appreciate that

This album feels very average.. I had not heard of the Beau Brummels before so maybe I wasn't expecting much but that was the experience I got. Sort of like a less creative version of Donovan or a slightly folkier Momma's and the Poppa's. Nothing terribly wrong with any of it just a little too mundane to be exciting.

These guys really sound like Bob Dylan, but they have enough of their own thing going on that it doesn’t feel like they’re just straight up copying his style. I dug it, but honestly I’m much more likely to just reach for a Dylan record than I am to throw this one on again.

It's a lovely little album. No idea why it has such a low average rating, especially compared to trash like yesterday's offering. I enjoyed Painter of Women and The Keeper of Time.

It's pretty good but I don't think I got anything out of it that I hadn't already gotten from any of the other post woodstock psychadelic hippy blues folk on the list. Maybe it was significant historically

Lite Donovan

This was weird and not in a fun way. Kind of ren faire inspired but also country? At least it was short

Sounded like a second rate Bob Dylan.

Yet another 60 year old album of utter bilge

Folk rock, country rock, psychedelic pop, psychedelic rock.

Yup that's a rock record from the late 60's alright. 6/10

Never heard this band - so good find.

Vocals sounded a bit like Dylan at first. Never heard of this band before. Not bad

Just ok, not really my thing.

i thought it was quite sweet, soothing and charming and i enjoyed the silliness. good for zoning out and painting

Ehh, sounds like British invasion but they're from SF?

Gnomes and middle ages(?)

I feel like I'm in a garden with lawn gnomes and that seems exactly the intent of the album

Liked it. The singer doesn’t sound like Dylan though - more like Arlo Guthrie?

ehhhh. This one was meh. Nothing bad, but... This is not my fav.

Its ok

It was ok. Folk stuff is fine, some of it got a bit country for me though.

Favourite Songs: Painter Of Women Nine Pound Hammer

Heavily mannered vocals - influenced by Dylan, Tim Buckley, Scott Walker, and Jacques Brel - with a production style similar to The Walker Brothers, orchestral and dramatic. Although this was only 28 minutes, it felt longer. Fussy arrangements and melodramatic vocals with weird stresses on words. A curio.

Nothing that exciting here imho

Non mi convince

Answers the question: what if Robert Zimmerman’s no talent brothers had a band.

Really liked it - arguably unexceptional songs, but just a great feel to it

agradável. um country meio folk meio rockzinho. nada de muito especial, mas agradável.

Like the weird, creepy uncle coming up to you at a family holiday party and putting his hands around your shoulders while your back is turned away. Weird lyrics and off beat.

One of the more enjoyable non-Beatles albums of the era that this list has exposed me to. Not trying to be silly, just some normal songs. Far out, man

I'd probably rate it higher if the singer didn't use that voice that apparently all dudes in the genre back then used.

I'm not really sure what to do with this? It's fine a sort of Dylan lite vocal and some strange lyrics. It's very of its time but I'm not really sure I get the how this would crack the list of 1001 albums I should listen to. Once is fine. There were better bands doing similar things which are probably more worth your time. More important is this exchange from Friday Night Dinner: Yes, I was a handsome man. A real Beau Brummell, I was. What was I, Nellie? A real Beau Brummell. You see these men on TV these days calling themselves Beau Brummells. Do you? Yes. They're not Beau Brummells. They don't deserve to be called Beau Brummells, do they?

This was a fun psychedelic folk album that also had some orchestral elements from the baroque pop influence that was popular at the time. But what I really liked was the pastoral atmosphere throughout the album.

Well I Actually know the band coming into this, but can’t say they do enough of anything to be more than the footnote they actually are. There is a reason this is obscure, it’s not that good. Ok it's the start of the SF sound with a vocalist trying to sound like Dylan for god only knows what reason, that's a fair minority sub genre to start. Completely forgettable 2 Star

It's fine. Bob Dylan-influenced, sorta Beatles-y. I like Nine Pound Hammer a lot but the rest of the album is passable. Singer can be expressive when he feels like it. Not sure this is essential.

An interesting curio from one of the approximately 327 bands known as ´America’s Beatles ‘. It had a whimsical quality but lacked any real depth. Distinct lack of triangle too.

I listened to this in passing yesterday and it seemed ok but nothing special. Listened again this morning and it’s grown on me. There are shades of other 60s peers here and it sounds like a more fully instrumented Bob Dylan, only with better singing. It’s somewhat safe, but very little that I can criticise beyond that.

No fav song

Didn't get it

Holy shit enough with the country rock

Not for me 1/5

Nice bit of baroque tinged psychedelia

Not terrible, not great.

This was okay!! Wasn’t a fan of some of it but REALLY liked a couple tracks. That’s about it srry this one isn’t more thorough whoops

this is alright. i like the psychadelic vibes and all the guitar - this is a kind of rock i like, i'm just not sure if if this particular album stands out a ton to me.

pleasurable old school poetry

Short and enjoyable. Weird but not too disconnected from melody to spoil it. I don’t think I’ll be coming back to it but if it was on in the background somewhere I wouldn’t object.

Only Dreaming Now and Nine Pound Hammer were both pretty solid songs. The rest was alright, but not super memorable.

Alright album, easy to listen

nothing special about it, like toast simple easy and bland. The singer sounds like bob dylan but with out any of the angst or talent Blissfully short . Oh and that second song sounds like the theme tune to “Casualty” (not in a good way)

If you like 60’s folk rock, and I do, this is an ok lp. But it’s not one of the first few thousand lps to hear before. Every Byrds and Buffalo Springfield album is better for a start.

I thought being only 29 minutes would help, but it didn't not.

3 - BAD

Never heard of this band but they were apparently the architects of the San Francisco sound in the 60's. This album is not bad, nothing mind blowing but pretty decent music. Probably won't listen to it again but it is cool to listen to a part of history. I like many of the bands this band inspired and I can definitely see how they influenced them.

It's an okay album. Magic Hollow is clearly the best song, the rest is pretty forgettable. This is a case of right band wrong album, however— their only good album is Bradley’s Barn, by a country kilometer.

Not really for me, Clive.

If you don't like obnoxious vibrato and folksy this ain't for you.

Quite pleasant for 1967 and also not sounding like everything else of that time. Nothing memorable though
