Every once in a while an album comes out that you listen from front to back and repeat. This was one of those albums. I have always like Supertramp. Crime of the Century and Even In the Quietest Moments, among those albums I knew every song. I don't recall what happened with the Crisis release. I might have to go back and give that a listen. Back to this increible Hall Of Fame record.
There are so many memories on here, I could go through everything song and pick apart the pieces that are the most memorable. I won't... It seems that whether it's a unique sound or random instrument, Supertramp purposely places those to embed them in your subconscious.
That "digital sound" that from the Mattel Football Game in "The Logical Song".
The whistling in "Goodbye Stranger"
The Jewish Clarinet solo in "Breakfast In America"
The opening piano chord in "Take The Long Way Home"
When we DON'T, Give a damn, and FIGHT, when we can in "Another Nervous Wreck"
The multi Keyboard intro to "Child Of Vision"
To me this album told a story, a concept album without a concept. The album cover itself is iconic. Libby the waitress depicting the Statue Of Liberty. I will feature my favorite track from this album.
