Triumph - Rock & Roll Machine (1977)

The second album from this band from Canada.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and vocals.

Some guests added keyboards and vocals.

I have come to the second album in my reviews of all their albums. Their debut album did not sound convincing as it is a pretty substandard album.

Rock & Roll Machine turned out to be their best selling album and they even got a hit single here. The hit single is their version of Joe Walsh's evergreen Rocky Mountain Way.

This three quarters of an hour long albums includes a mix of hard rock and some more pastoral rock songs. There are even a ballad here.

The music is pretty youthful and hard. The band were a proto-heavy metal band and that is evident in their music.

This album is an improvement on their debut album and a good album for those into hard rock and heavy metal. I am not but this is still a decent album.
