One CD Baby Reviewer describes the Album:
"Bizarre Love Triangle" is the debut CD by Charlotte Summer. Packed with rock attitude and electro beats, this album gives Garbage and Republica a run for their money. Charlotte Summer does for redheads what Debbie Harry did for blondes... The album opens with "Cage", a song with barbed lyrics about repressive religions and a sound that reminds me of the classic "1979" by Smashing Pumpkins. Up next is the hypnotic "Dreams", a catchy piano riff that builds to an anthem-like chorus, hiding shades of 80's pop within it. "Without Me" is my favorite. It starts with a fantastic intro that builds into a feel-good, sing-along chorus. It's as if Human League's "Don't You Want Me" married Outkast's "Hey Ya!" and had this illegitimate offspring. The moody "Guilty" is next, summoning up the spectres of Sisters Of Mercy and This Mortal Coil. Beautiful and broody. "Short Time" ticks the album back into higher gear and delivers a fine sentiment in it's "live for today" lyrics. I've always loved The Cure's "Just Like Heaven" but Charlotte Summer's version takes the song into an electro direction that Robert himself would probably be found dancing to! It's as if The Dandy Warhols and Ladytron met and fell in love. Great! "Wasted" brings the rock back, ful
