		American Beauty was the band's fifth studio album (they also had released their first live album by this time) and was released in November of 1970.
		Most of the album is awash in acoustic sounds, with minimal electric flourishes that nonetheless accomplish the ultimate goal of fleshing out the songs without making them feel bombastic.
		American Beauty was reissued in 2001 with bonus tracks tacked onto the end.

	American Beauty : Music
		The beauty of the band was that these guys had jammed together so much that they communicated together through their music and had a real chemistry.
		This album is a snapshot of the Dead during a wonderful moment in their creativity, both musically and lyrically.
		American Beauty shows the Grateful Dead´s transition from psychadelia rock to more of a folk-country rock.

	Filmtracks: American Beauty (Thomas Newman)
		American Beauty: (Thomas Newman) Hot off the film's remarkable success, Thomas Newman's arthouse score was not only nominated for a Golden Globe, but has been elevated by many to critics to award-winning status.
		Newman's score to American Beauty is practically interchangeable with this year's The Green Mile, seeing as how he employs just as many funky instruments as he did in the score for the Darabont film.
		American Beauty is quite functional as a score during the film, but as was the case with The Green Mile, this score isn't one which can be listened to over and over aside from the film.

	The Grateful Dead - American Beauty/Aoxomoxoa - Rhino/Warner Records (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		American Beauty is the definitive Grateful Dead release.
		With a largely acoustic approach to their songs and a move away from a live jam applied to studio music, The Dead were working to redefine themselves, bringing maturity to their years with a combined attempt to translate that to vinyl (hey, the medium of the time – still cool if you ask me).
		Aoxomoxoa, the band’s album prior to American Beauty, is a jam extravaganza.

	Low priced American Beauty and More
		If I were to discuss a list of albums that qualify as `life-altering', I'd have to say that few albums meet the grade as well as American Beauty.
		As many people have already stated this album is one of the best if not the best Grateful Dead studio albums recorded, containing the perfect mix of rock blues and country.
		This album has influenced so many other artists like Ryan Adams, his album cover for Cold Roses is a copy of this American Beauty's art and the music is a reflection of the Dead.

		In what has to be wonderful timing, Dreamworks Records is releasing a score album in January - just in time for all the voters to check it out separate from the film.
		A unique film, American Beauty showed us the darker side of suburbia, and that not all is how it seems.
		Running about 37 minutes long, this album really didn't need to be any longer - it was quite enjoyable as is. American Beauty looks like it might do rather well at the Golden Globes, and come Oscar time, I'm sure it will do rather well then as well.

		The album prominently features Garcia's pedal steel playing--there is not a single Garcia guitar solo to be found anywhere!--and friend David Grisman adds mandolin on "Friend of the Devil" and "Ripple." Songs like "Sugar Magnolia," "Friend of the Devil" and "Truckin'" became permanent fixtures in their live shows.
		As history would have it, American Beauty is simply a masterwork, as complex and wondrous as the rose for which it is named, combining optimism and realistic expectation in a manner that embraces the complexity of life and translates it into a musical means of expression.
		It should be noted that before this album was released, the Grateful Dead had amassed one true work of art (their previous studio album, Workingman's Dead), and it was all too easy to assume that it might have been a fluke of nature, a one-off that would never be equaled or surpassed.

		As for the songs, they are generally not at all unpleasant, and most of them actually had some role in the film.
		One minor disappointment is that with a trailer campaign that made such genius use of "Baba O'Riley" by The Who, it is unfortunate that they didn't include it on this album.
		Not only is there to be a score release, but the song album is quite enjoyable as well.

	Grateful Dead-American Beauty (DVD-Audio) (1970)
		Recorded in a very brief period only 7 months after their previous album Workingman’s Dead, American Beauty is more of the same folksy, thoughtful acoustic ramble with some haunting lyrics.
		Not as melancholy as its predecessor, nor as involving, this album feels somewhat lost and with less clear direction than Workingman’s Dead - it is also less wholesomely musical, a quality which struck me about their earlier work.
		Given that both albums were produced in the same year of 1970, and presumably by the same people, this is something of a disappointment.

	Grateful Dead - American Beauty [DVD-Audio]
		American Beauty was originally released by Warner Bros. in 1970 and is widely regarded as one of the high points of the Grateful Dead’s long career.
		The album showcases the Dead’s acoustic side and growing confidence in their vocal abilities -- as well as some of lyricist Robert Hunter’s greatest songs.
		In the process, many previously buried vocals and instruments came to the surface, and several songs were extended significantly by removing the original fades.

		Three of the album's four bonus tracks are lengthy studio jams; the sublime "Clementine Jam" has hints of John Coltrane, an obvious influence on Garcia's free-form guitar work.
		Hardcore Deadheads may disagree, but if it hadn't been for these two albums, the Dead would probably be just a footnote in the history of rock and roll.
		Unlike Live/Dead, which is very much a product of its time, Workingman's Dead and American Beauty are for the ages; they sound just as good today as they did thirty years ago.

	TANGMONKEY.COM [ REVIEW: Grateful Dead: American Beauty ]
		With American Beauty, the Grateful Dead succeeded in recording a genuine album: it's got good songs, less good ones, beautiful odds and silly ends.
		American Beauty shows a committment to songs that lets the Grateful Dead's talents - their familiarity as musicians, their intimacy - blossom into a handful of truly beautiful tracks.
		This reissue sounds gorgeous, looks beautiful, and is a testament to the Grateful Dead's importance as musicians, as creative (and heartfelt) artists.

	The Music Box: Grateful Dead - Golden Road (1965-1973) - Part Six: Workingman's Dead/American Beauty
		The songs on American Beauty were a bit more elaborate in their construction than those on Workingman’s Dead.
		And, the sometimes breezy beauty of the harmonies and instrumentation belied the crumbling world in which the Grateful Dead lived, at times hiding the air of sadness that hung over tracks like Box of Rain and Ripple.
		Although more than thirty years have passed, these two magnificent, epic albums remain as powerful as the day they were released, and as such are two of the finest recordings in the history of rock ’n‘ roll.

		It is among the most satisfying and enduring of the Grateful Dead's studio recordings, expanding as it does on the engaging mix of country, blues, and folk materials they first coined earlier in the year with WORKINGMAN'S DEAD.
		Rolling Stone (12/24/70, p.52) - "...the album is American beauty of the best possible kind....A complete contentment shines through the vocal work....The instrumentation is rich with sound that moves through, under and into the listener..."

		Now, down the road here we get back to their roots and have an album called American Beauty, and boy what a beauty it is. What a colection of songs, finely crafted and very cohesive together.
		American Beauty along with Workingman's Dead are astonishing works of sonic bliss.

		AMERICAN BEAUTY tells the story of Lester Burnham (Kevin Spacey), a suburban father who snaps when he becomes disgusted with his stale, repetitive existence.
		Burnham lets us know in voice-over from the film's opening that this is the day he dies (using the SUNSET BOULEVARD flashback approach), a technique that adds an inevitable tension to the proceedings and keeps the story moving forward at all times.
		AMERICAN BEAUTY composer Thomas Newman won a Grammy for Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.

		The playing is supurb, the singing is exellent, with harmonys who's beauty the Dead have never exeeded.
		This album has a wonderful feel to it, each song is perfict to precede the next song, and to follow the previous one.
		American Beauty also features a perfict blend of acoustic and electric instruments, each song is arranged in such a way as to bring out the fullest potential possible, The only problem with this album is that most of it did not translate well to the Dead's live shows.

		Bewildered by loss both personal and social--the hippie dream was quickly crashing by Beauty's 1970 release date--the band put its querulousness ("Box of Rain") and wry humor ("Truckin'") into the service of a masterwork.
		I would venture to guess that more people were lured into the magical, maniacal world of the Grateful Dead through American Beauty than any other way.
		More times than I can count, I've seen a non-Deadhead listen to this album, be blown away, and slowly join the rest of us in our nirvana.
