![[UNCUT] The Loyal Pin ปิ่นภักดิ์ EP.8 (1/4)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/7OwUsMs0M5s/mqdefault.jpg)
Crisis What Crisis is a criminally underrated album. I love it.
This is probably my favorite Supertramp song. I love the beat of it and really love the piano playing.
A very strong part of the live show back in the day with Rick killing it on a piano jam to end it!!
Really strong track off of Crisis, to be followed up by "Lady", and even stronger one! "Another Man's Woman" has that intriguing quiet piano phrase that always stays in my mind.
Supertramp will always be up there at the top for me, along with The Beatles, Yes, Rush, Genesis, Tears For Fears and handful of others. I'll still be rocking Supertramp in another 30 years.
Do you like XTC as well?
@@donlopeaguirre112 Not much of theirs I know. I'll have to check them out.
I'm a fellow heretic on this one 😁. Crisis What Crisis and Even In The Quietest Moments are their best albums IMHO - a perfect blend of poppiness, bluesiness, rocky grooves, progressive invention and extension, and that quintessentially Supertramp undercurrent of melancholy and edginess. 👍
Agreed that "Crime" is a brilliant 3rd place on this list.
It's so hard for me to say which is my favorite, but if pressed, it would have to be Quietest Moments. But they didn't make a single less than amazing album with Roger In the band.
Love this one fondly. Rick shines so great on piano. But the others are even as great. All is perfect in this song. And in live context, Rick made his solo bigger and longer, a fantastic song!
Another great Supertramp song I’ve never heard
Very good energetic track with its construction all in progression and tension.
Crime of the Century was a superb album however I prefer Crisis? What Crisis? which I find more direct and catchy.
The band members weren't very happy with it at the time of its release due to pressure from the record label during the recording, however a few years later Rodger Hodgson admitted that Crisis? What Crisis? was his favorite Supertramp album and I totally agree with him !
This is almost the exact comment I was about to make...you just saved me some typing. I also wanted to say "awesome" for using the word "favorite". I never indulge in that "best" or "greatest" talk.
Back in the days when everyone thought Crime of the Century was their first album and Even in the Quietest Moments... was their next album, I was loving this album more than all the rest. So glad you're on board with this Crisis. Don't wait so long for the next one...
And please think about The Day the Earth Caught Fire. I know City Boy has their detractors (and I think you've seen that every artist has some haters), but there are a few of us out here who love these guys a lot because they're a talented group, a very talented group. I'm sure someone will snidely remark that there's no accounting for taste. And that's exactly right, there is no accounting for it; that's why we all get to enjoy the tastes we want to enjoy.
Carry on, Justin! Thanks for your time and insights...
I referenced CB b4 seeing your comment! How peculiar...
@@HippoYnYGlaw Kismet! If it's in the air, it's important, n'est-ce pas?
I absolutely love City Boy to death, the whole Day The Earth Caught Fire album is great, especially Ambition and the title track
One of the big underrated gems of Supertramp, to be sure.
If you go ahead to watch the live in Paris version, you'll see that:
- they accelerated the tempo to a frantic one (and Hodgson performs his guitar duties just as fine)
- they had the good taste of adding a conclusion, where the woman actually gives her answer
I forgot how much I liked this one! I used to think it was too long, but life has taught me that the feelings expressed persist and that it's perfectly normal that this musical interpretation of them should persist, too.
Roger Hodgson was the smile. Rick Davies was the brain. Glory to this fantastic band. Thank you Justin for that so beautiful track coming back again to us.
The best track on the album...and live versions are even better...
Justin… of all reactors you are in my view in the top tier not only how you listen to the music but the people following you and commenting are so knowledgeable. 💥
They do a live version of this song at literally twice the tempo. It makes it feel like a whole new song.
Happy New Year!!!
The New Year song for you!
Diana Ankudinova - What a Wonderful World
The reaction bloggers have already called this cover the best performance of this legendary Louis Armstrong song!
You have hardly heard a voice of such rare beauty in your life. Enjoy!
She is called the queen of goosebumps, a unique voice - contralto with polyphonic overtones. Full vocal range - 4 octaves (E3-E7).
Best contralto voice in the world!
She has insane and unique vocals and great stage presence and her performances have over 10 thousand reactions (all of them are collected in my playlists).

Fantastic album amazing song
I subscribed a few days ago. I am really enjoying your content. The people in the comments are so awesome! I hope everyone has a fantastic day.
Like I said way back, this album is legit underrated. Can't wait for your response to Lady, the song that the medium of cassettes tricked me into thinking was the album opener as a kid.
Always loved this album and this track in particular. Live it was amazing as they piled into the huge jam at the end delivering more energy and pace than the album cut.
Crime, Crisis, and Quietest moments are like three children to me, all beautiful and my affection wanders between them depending on my mood but I cant rank them, then on occasion my favour will fall on their brasher bolder American cousin ‘Breakfast’ but never for long always come back to these three albums.
I love this song. Such a great outro
To me, "Crisis? What Crisis?" was the "Wish You Were Here + Animals" of Supertramp's career, while "Crime of the Century" was "The Dark Side of the Moon", and "Even in the Quietest Moments" was their "The Wall". A lot of great songs on this album!
You're not wrong. "Crisis? What Crisis?" is Supertramp's best album...at least in my humble opinion. And yes, I love this track.
Same here !
100% agree
Yo! ✊️
Absolutely agreed! And it is very hard to understand why was this brilliant album underrated by the critics in the 70's. But who does it care? 😁
Yes Sir! Maybe the best album my older brother ever bought.
_Crisis?_ has always been one of my favorite albums from the Tramp. For me, it is only slightly behind _Crime_ in terms of quality songwriting. But in the overall scheme of their discography imho, _Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis?_ and _...Even in the Quietest Moments..._ are pretty well interchangeable as their top three albums.
Loooove this song. The breakdown about 2/3 of the way through in some ways reminds me of some of the stuff Dire Straits did on their "Love Over Gold" album. Builds up a great atmosphere. PS - great T-shirt!
I hope you'll react to "Child of vision" which is the best Supertramp song imo, so groovy with a fascinating atmosphere.
Still love your video, you're so chill and nice !
Your tee shirt ! I thought i recognised the image on it. The Uffington White Horse is a prehistoric hill figure,, 110 m (360 ft) long, formed from deep trenches filled with crushed white chalk.
Absolutely fabulous album, throughout!
Both very good albums in their own right. All depends on when you discovered them.
It’s about time Justin!! My favorite track on the album, glad you enjoyed it. While I disagree that it’s “better” than Crime of the Century, I think we can agree that they are both great albums.
Hello, thank you for the video. I advise you to make, if you haven't done it yet, a reaction to the wonderful young singer Diana Ankudinova. This girl will surprise you with her artistry and rare timbre of voice. She has covers of famous songs, and also performs her own songs.
You said something in your reaction to a previous Supertramp tune, when you said their music just makes you feel good. I think that is what makes them one my all time favourite bands. Their lyrics, musicianship, sound, stage presence (saw them twice) and catalog just puts them in my top 5. Hit as many of their songs as you like, I’ll be here. Thanks.
From Crime Of The Century to Breakfast In America, they made 4 classics albums who deserve your attention JP.
This would fit perfectly on Caravan’s “Waterloo Lily” album. Kinda jazzy, kinda music hall, kinda whimsical. Good song!
Love their jazz chops. Like Blood, Sweat and Tears it is easy to forget what really good musicians there were and how far their roots were dug. They could swing and rock at the same time.
This is one of those songs where I have to say that the live versions are better. The faster tempo really makes it so much more catchy.
I actually don't like the faster paced live version- I like the version that's on Retrospectacle. It's similar to the studio version but the Solo is what sells that one.
I've always loved this LP and it is so hard to find any reactors doing any songs off of it, since there were no commercial hits, that I appreciate the fact you are slowly getting around to reacting to them! Please don't wait so long for the next one! Cheers,
It's like a mirror image of Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album: pressure for a follow up after the massiveness of Dark Side of The Moon/Crime of the Century; a feeling that they had nothing to say...and then smashing out of the park with something that, to my ears anyway, is more repeatedly listenable to than Dark Side or Crime of the Century.
And then the main co-writer spat and breakup and eternal tension and legal disputes. Heavens, there's even a Roger and Rick fallout in both bands!
Bob Seibenberg is such an on-point drummer! Traditional grip, plays in the pocket and inserts ghost notes (galore). Love his build-up in the last few minutes of this tune. My fave ‘tramp LP. Peace from Toronto
Hi Justin !! Great XTC cover !...
Always a treat to wake up to Supertramp. They didn't overwhelm you with guitar instrumentation, they seemed to always know what sounds to put where. While I can't agree with it being better than Crime of the Century, it's nearly as good and definitely underrated. I like Rick Davies grittier vocals/songwriting as a counterpoint to Mr. Hodgson's lyrics and delivery. But I like both, to be sure.
I think that Wurlitzer piano was the key to Supertramp's sound. And Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson both have very distincive voices. There is no way you could hear this or any song for the first time and not say, or at least think, "Yep, That's Supertramp."
It's kind of funny how some groups have such a distinctive sound that you can hear a song for the very first time and know who it is before the singing even starts. Supertramp is definitely one of them.
Totally agree. It’s the constant musical conversation between Rick and Roger that powered the band. I prefer Rick’s darker, bluesier songs, but Roger’s songs are great as well
Yup. My friends turned me on to Supertramp when I was 16. I'll always remember when I listened to Crime of the Century in much anticipation with the headphones 🎧 on in the dark......it was a Moment. Really enjoy Crisis What Crisis as well of course.
I like Crime of the Century and Crisis? What Crisis? like they were my twin sons... how could I pick one over the other?
But, Another Man's Woman is one of my favorite Supertramp songs. Now that you've heard the studio cut, I hope some day you have the opportunity to hear the live version from Retrospectacle - The Supertramp Anthology!
You aren't wrong. It's their best album IMO. Their other albums are very good, but this one just holds up better. I never get tired of it.
Love both Crime and Crisis but I agree Crisis is the album I go to more often. Another Man’s Woman one of the best tracks for me, along with Sister Moonshine. Next track is the weakest for me, Lady seems like Dreamer Part II. But the rest of the album is great!
I don't dislike Supertramp by any means, I just never glommed onto them like I do with other bands. It doesn't help that I lived in a dorm where everyone just played their favorite album every day extra loud so the world could know their opinion, "Crime" was one of those ("Bat Out of Hell" was another, hated that album for a long time).
I do like the band enough that I made my own 2-disc compilation. Maybe I'll listen to whole albums at some point. This song didn't sound much like them, I like the stripped down production, you can really hear the lyrics and the melody, not just hooks. Personally I'd have shortened the long fade out a bit.
Great band to get into, another which were fantastic live back in the day. Roger Hodgson still flies the Supertramp flag performing live to this day.
Between Crime of the Century, Crisis What Crisis, and Even in the Quietest Moments, their three peak albums, with Breakfast in America coming in as a definate 4th, I go back and forth on which is my favorite ... Which one I'm in the mood for, depending on the moment. This album has been definately underrated though
Breakfast in America is their 4th best? Who knew?
@@dannylgriffin I did ;)
If snazzy means cold weather, dark sky, a lot of wind and rain…I agree.
I’m liking Crisis!
👍🏻👍🏻
Supertramp and Prefab Sprout is why I'm here 👌 btw when are you gonna keep listening to PF's Steve Mcqueen?
Late to this, but great one Justin!
This was maybe my favourite song when I was around 11-12 years of age. I thought everything in it sounded so cool. It's good to find out I still really appreciate it now, some 4 decades later.
And yes, this album is great. Is it better than COTC? Matter of taste really, they are both awesome. And the album after this album, and the one after that, not at all bad; maybe not as in your face as these two, but you won't hear a bad track on any of these.
In my mind, this is the canon of Supertramp: Crime of the century, Crisis?, Even in the quietest moments, Breakfast in America. All rounded off with the epic Paris live double album.
I will say, after Roger's departure, the next album "Brother where you bound" really fits in there for me too. It's not as consistent as their output in the mid 1970's, but it's full of really strong tracks and great production.
Check it out sometime
Thanks again Justin!
Crisis has always been my favourite album of theirs. It is not as well known but a hidden treasure.
Why sacriledgeous? I preferred Crisis over Crime since 1978 when I discovered both in my brothers LP stash. I even think that Indelibly stamped and the eponymous first are better than CotC but that is just me.
When I was 11 I stole the Indelibly Stamped LP from a mate's dad, simply on the basis of the naked lady on the sleeve. 😁
I like this album a lot but for me Crime has superior songwriting and the arrangements date better too.
best outro ever
"Crime of the Century" is my #1 album so I wouldn't agree on that take but I'm still considering "Crisis?" as much of a gem as their debut or "Even in the Quietest Moments"
Now that you've heard this, I suggest you check out the live version which ends even better. I've requested this reaction with you and other reactors on TH-cam several times and I wanna say you have the honor of being the first to do it. And You Loved It! I think this song is the underrated gem of so much of their great material and I'm so glad you shared this reaction. Thank you!
Ty Max:)
Supertramp!! Love it!! ...and that XTC English Settlement shirt is FIRE!!!!!
As a long-time Supertramp fan, I actually like this (and "Even In The Quietest Moments") even better than "Crime" (which IS great!). Can hardly wait for my favorite track "The Meaning"... which you're fast approaching. Fantastic stuff... they were right in the middle of their run of brilliant albums. "Crisis" is SO underrated.
I want you to react to >>>>>> "Woman" by Three Dog Night. It is not a major hit, but it tells you what quality that the band does on their albums. Three Dog Night among other band put out radio airwave type of music to draw the listener into their albums where they really show off their talents and that what made them and other band very popular!!! Check it out the studio version of "Woman."
After release 'Crisis, What Crisis?' did not get amazing reviews. Fans were bemused by the lack of 'concept' and there was no long bombastic track like 'Crime of the Century'. Critics were less than amazed and although reviews were ok it was not, let's say, universally praised. It only achieved no. 20 on the UK album chart which was ominous. Supertramp never achieved a number one album or single in the UK. It has certainly gained recognition over the years and on several best of lists it is second only to 'COTC'. I loved it right from purchase and particularly like the last two tracks. Glad to see you get back to it.
Crisis? What Crisis? is my absolute favourite Supertramp album. I love Crime of the Century, but I'm also sacrilegious. Though I love them both, I just think this album is better. Cheers!
I'll bet that McCartney wishes he had written this song. It certainly has that flavor. I would definitely not argue with anyone who thinks that CWC is a better (or best) album from Supertramp. It is certainly the most fun, and the band really seems to be having a good time - which translates directly to the listener. Rick would come back to his "cannonball" reference years later on a track with that very title on the "Brother Where You Bound" album. "Cannonball" is also a great jam.
Crisis? What Crisis? and Quietest Moments are my favs. Came across Crime of the Century later, and didn't think it was as strong as those guys...
Thanks for listening to another track off Crisis? I don't know if it's better than Crime, but it's certainly different in tone IMO. I agree though that it's their most underrated album.
The second side of Crisis is just as good as the first, so your in for a treat
I have uploaded in my channel the paris live version of this song which is nuts! Its better than the original in my opinion. They play it like double speed and its more frenetic.
I’ve overlooked this album. It’s interesting: I hear early Split Enz and a touch of 10cc.
DUDE! :) WHAT THE HELLLLL, IF I DIDN'T GET TO SAY IT JUSTIN HERE IT GOES : HAPPY 2022 TO YOU AND THE WIFE :) , HOPEFULLY A MUCH BETTERRRR YEAR IN A COVID WORLD :( KEEP ON KEEPIN ON, STAY SAFE, HAPPY AND HEALTHY AND I WISH YOU ALLLLLLLLLLL THE BEST FOR THE FUTURE TIMES MYFRIEND! :)
Crisis? What Crisis? is definitely a supremely underrated album but, that said, Crime of the Century is not only their best album it is arguably one of the greatest albums of all time. It's the album I have played the most over the last 46 years. That's my opinion as a superfan or Supertramp since I was 13 in 1975. They are favourite band of all time. IMO Crisis is their third or fourth-best LP but we are talking decimal points of difference in the ratings I would give to their output from Crime of the Century to Crisis? What Crisis? (third or fourth best) to Even in the Quietest Moments (second-best album) to Breakfast In America (third or fourth best) to Famous Last Words (another sorely underrated LP).
Please could you react to the amazing performance of young vocalist Diana Ankudinova with a cover - What a Wonderful World - Диана Анкудинова и Брендон Стоун с новогодним поздравлением. - (this video is from her official channel)
I think this is their most underrated album. I still prefer Crime of the Century and Even in the Quietest Moments, but this is a great album, and all three are really strong. I certainly prefer this album to Breakfast in America.
Wasn’t really thrilled when the Rick vocals started but they actually, didn’t make me cringe too much.
Musically, it was decent, the ending tones giving a hint as to the answer.
I love that shirt, I have a green one that’s way too big, I bought years ago. They make great guitar covers.
Kinda wish you’d start English Settlement and forget the rest of O&L. It’s taking too long.
Peace and XTC Music
Of the same opinion as you for English Settlement, however I would like Justin to do the last two pieces of Oranges & Lemons ("Miniature Sun" & Chalkhills and Children ") who are my two favorite from the album.
@@a.k.1740
Yeah, sounds good.
I do like those two.
@@-davidolivares I find these two tracks a little different from the rest on Oranges & Lemons (maybe that's why these two ended the album). Definitely my favorites.
From my point of view English Settlement is a much stronger album overall. even the B-sides of the singles from that time are cool (especially the superb "Blame the Weather" by Colin Moulding which should have been part of the album).
@@a.k.1740
They could have easily meshed with Nonsuch.
@@-davidolivares very true !
❤️❤️❤️
Great song etc. For something upbeat with a honky tonk feel try K.D. Lang's" Bopalena". It is from her early cowboy punk phase.
Glad you're enjoying your visit to this part of the 1970s, Justin. I may not wholly agree with you about this outplaying "Crime", but still like all four of the classic albums from "Crime" through "Breakfast". Having enjoyed them from then to now, still not quite sure if these Supertramp LPs qualify as the light side of prog or are better seen (and heard) as part of art-rock, along with 10cc, etc.
Btw, have you heard any 10cc songs, such as "Art for art's sake" from the album "How Dare You!" (great cover art from Hipgnosis)? Plenty more fine tracks from that group, and also some from Godley & Creme, who split off from 10cc part way through, during the 70s. Just something to add to your active explorations, if you feel like it.
And still hope you'll venture into the darker side of that Manchester music history (10cc, Godley & Creme in the 70s; Joy Division, etc into the 80s) with the relatively short-lived but influential band, Magazine. Plenty of sounds to choose from amongst their post-punk, art-rock songs. Even their first album ranges from "Shot By Both Sides" and "The Light Pours Out of Me" to "Parade" and "Motorcade".
And that's a great t-shirt you're sporting today from that classic XTC album cover, too. Have you listened to "No thugs in our house" from that album? Plenty of great songs on that release, tbh.
I would really like to hear Justin's reaction to some Godley & Creme. One of the best duos for songwriting and musicianship.
And what about that 'Gizmo?'
@@vdggmouse9512 Or the Gizmotron as it later morphed into. Those recordings are basically the only lasting evidence of the instrument. Hey it was even used by Led Zep and Wings on a few songs. I guess it lost flavour once the keytar became popular.
What do you think about the album 'Cosequences?' I own the original vinyl - I forgot - wasn't that a triple vinyl release - or was it just a double? When I go home I'll look - haven't heard in ...decades. If I recall correctly - I think I was disappointed with it.
@@vdggmouse9512 It is a 3LP set. I have it too. I don't mind it. I did end up getting it on CD as well. The on going narration by Peter Cook was different and sometimes comical. "The Flood" stands out as it begins with a water drip and ends up at the Woodstock Festival. It's got it's moments. The gizmo had potential if only it didn't keep breaking.
"I Pity Inanimate Objects" from Freeze Frame is just wild. That screeching guitar just unravels my nerves. Matched only by "Baby's On Fire" by Eno and "Big Electric Cat " by Belew.
In my opinion Supertramp's albums get progressively better and better, and some argue that the band peaked on *Breakfast In America.* I rank *Even In The Quitest Moments* and "Breakfast" equally. They're more polished and less Prog-y, but still brilliant Art Rock albums. I'll be interested to see what you think when you get to them.
Hey Justin! I passed on this album years ago and I still do. This album doesn't come close to Crime. Yes you are entitled to your opinion, but I think COTC is a masterpiece. 😎
i understand the reactions around this album. I feel like crime of the century is the "obvious" best supertramp album whereas crisis? is "low key" their best album
Un supergrupo 👍💪
Glad you've finally got round to listening to this track (easily my fave of the album with "Lady" as a close 2nd) The entire "Crisis? What Crisis" album is definitely on par with "Crime of the Century" if not slightly above it IMO.
I was also in a similar situation to the story of this song. I was seeing someone behind their SO's back, and eventually she made her choice; not me :(
I think it was unfortunate that Crisis, What Crisis? Was sandwiched between COTC and Even in the Quietest Moments. It seemed to get forgotten. I bought it when it first came out and didn't think too much of it. However, earlier in the year I bought the CD and listened to it again. I have a completely different view of it now. So it was a timely coincidence when you started a review. This is what's great about Prog Rock from that time. Prompted by your good self there is so much to revisit and sometimes reappraise. Interested in what you make of Just a Normal Day. Cheers JP.
First half of Crisis may be better than Crime, BUT the second half doesn't quite live up to it - so all in all, slighty behind Crime but certainly way up there in front of Quietest Moments and Breakfast.
there is an energy to the live version, and Rick's piano solos, that make me prefer them much more
Please, make a reaction to the songs of the singer Diana Ankudinova.
Crisis has always been my favourite Supertramp album - although I rank their eponymous debut (controversially) as a close second - probably because it was the first album of theirs I bought, back in 1988 when I got into the group. As for the song, I usually don't like Rick Davies' voice, especially when you have the falsetto of Roger Hodgson available, but this song is so good it sort of transcends that dislike. I'm sure Rick is a good person though, even if he was reportedly a bit of a git when Roger left in '83.
10cc meet the Bee Gees in a Nashville saloon. Rick Davies' songs sounded the best on EITQM, where
the prod. and
the arr.
were more Expansive.
Choirs n all. Glad I had the opportunity to hear this though. Ffanx.
And now , off the top of me 'ead, a top ten chart of long lost JP artists forgotten on yer channel:
5 - Jeff Buckley
4- Prefab Sprout
3.- Thomas of the Dolby
2 - Budgie
1 - Associates / Stranglers / City Boy / Van Halen / Shirley Bassey / Dixie Dregs
which isn't a dig at u at all Justin
Just a friendly nod back to the future, although maybe the chart should be read upside down.
Great Fun. Keep on keepin on as the Redskins would put it.
The Live at Royal Albert Hall version is much better.
Live version is superior off breakfast in America deluxe
Please can you check out "Moving in Stereo" live by The Cars 1984. It's time these genius' albums were brought back to attention; and I'm from the UK where they were only moderately successful. But yeah, no one is reacting to them enough. Let's start with the earlier work in the seventies and move on.
Keep going with the Supertramp discography, you will not be disappointed with anything from the beginning until 1985, this band does not has any song like "Who dunnit" or "I can't dance" or "Invisible Touch" 😂 🤣
Try 'What you need' by INXS:)
Hi Justin. Dave from across the Seven Seas. This is Another Man's Cup Of Tea - yours, obv - but not mine. Not a huge fan of Supertramp, but I prefer their classic pop hits to their proggier side. Like the keys here and the country feel, but musically it goes nowhere in my view, especially at the end. Sorry, fans, but I never warmed to this album back in the day - didn't think the band were happy with it either. P.S. My song ref, Seven Seas, is by Barock Project.
Just to get this link pasted and done, here's something completely off topic. (Relax, it's just bagpipes. The ancient Portuguese musical instrument, I mean.) th-cam.com/video/UHxPPhOzWrM/w-d-xo.html
Sorry, I meant the old Croatian instrument. th-cam.com/video/pEl1EMVHNGY/w-d-xo.html
No, no, it's the ancient Iraqi instrument - perhaps from Ur, even? th-cam.com/video/tNSUJwd2ezE/w-d-xo.html
Another Man's Woman is not a favorite of mine. I prefer the 'tone' of Crime Of The Century.' Supertramp - from this point on became less and less a prog band and more and more of s pop band. Now that's all a matter of opinion - but to me - I was hoping this album would go further into the prog world - hoped that they would get more experimental. So when it came out I didn't completely pan the album - I just a felt that it was a lurch backwards. An album that to me has not one standout track. Ten songs of medium minus to medium in quality and not ONE great track. Not even in Crime's ballpark this album started my big Supertramp fade. On subsequent albums there is at least one song better than EVERY song on this album. In the years (40+?) this album has only continued it's slide in my view. I did go to the Inglewood Forum (where The Lakers used to play - a large arena) to see Supertramp circa '77 and lo and behold I had front row center seats. Of course I had a great time hanging out with my best friends at a concert but we all came to the same conclusion - they were becoming big and were beginning to soften. They had found their niche and riches were now just around the bend. With few exceptions - when bands get big - and are heavily played on radio - it means that a large segment of society likes them. It then also follows that if a large segment of society likes them the band will invariably be treading on more familiar turf and less experimental or groundbreaking material. Supertramp - after 'Crime' had become a medium band who created medium rock. Medium equals tedium - not premium. Goodbye Supertramp!
Bit of a jumble this I thought. And last track, S1, with a definite whiff of filler to it. Starts with a 'southern rock' lilt, musically and lyrically. Then breaks for that extended keys break... why. It wasn't strong enough to impress, but sure took up some time. And then settles into that repetitive end riff till fade out And that also not very strong. Yep, not a fan, not great, and too too long.
Dude stop being such a music critic go back to crappy pop music instead of giving your shitty ass opinions no one cares about 🖕
Too long its only 6 minutes you freaking hippie 🙄
SUPERTRAMP-- "LOVERBOY"
