That piano riff starting about 2/3 of the way through is one of those pieces of music that would have been at home in any era ... it's something mozart could have composed and wouldn't have been out of place. I know on my first listen I thought ... i must have heard that before because the notes just make perfect sense; they belong together in that order. They were meant to be ... they existed in the universe and were just waiting for someone to bring them to life.

Sure that you realise now that this was not their first album, there were two before this and each had a few good songs but neither had the strength of this one which was S tier as you noted. They did not stop there however and the next two albums, Crisis what Crisis, and Even in the quietest moments are equally as good and argued by some fans to be better. The sound then changed a bit to try to get US airplay on Breakfast in America from which you have heard two or three tracks. I really don’t want to push you to break up the next two albums as they both sound best in vinyl sides at least but if you have to listen to one song then you cannot skip ‘ Fools overture’ from Even in the Quietest moments it’s a masterpiece within a classic.

My dad and I were walking past a Burstein-Applebee electronic store at our local mall. We both heard the Rhodes intro to Bloody Well Right playing though out the store, and immediately went in and bought the album.

"Rudy" is about as epic a Supertramp song as one could listen to. Enjoyed the Patreon spin. Peace out.

Like The Moody Blues on the sixties, Supertramp in the seventies made sounds that seems far bigger than just a band. Both were true rock and roll orchestras!

FINALLY!!!!...been asking for this for a while. So haunting and melancholy at the beginning, with the harmonica, to the reminiscing sounds of children playing in the schoolyard and the darkness of the scream cut off. The lyrics about the forced conformity to society... "be like johnny", and "you're coming along" to the wonderful piano solo. They take you on a journey of your childhood in this song, and of your past throughout the whole album. Beautifully produced and recorded...a true masterpiece by a group of musicians who complimented each other to create something exquisite.

some bangers to react to: The Cult: Fire Woman and She Sells Sanctuary

The whole album is a masterpiece!! School is such a great intro!

This is the first album I ever bought. Likely my first actual purchase outside of candy, pop or salmon eggs. Pure fluke. I was about 8 years old, on vacation with the family when I was drawn to this hole in the wall record store. Through their speakers, they were piping out 'Bloody Well Right' and I bit hard. As a little kid the chorus was so candid and humorous, infectious. I walked up to the counter and asked if I could buy the album they were playing. What a stroke of luck! I've never not owned it since (at least for any length of time). The scene from Platoon with Willem Dafoe comes to mind. Elias: First time? Chris: Yeah. Elias: Then the worm has definitely turned for you man.

Still completely baffled that it isn't way higher already, you guys are awesome! Cheers!

Just watched your Patreon on this album. I’d say the title track has always been my favorite on this one. You guys should listen to Child of Vision from the Breakfast in America album. You haven’t done that one yet and it’s got killer electric piano in it.

Fantastic album! This is a classic from beginning to end. I am glad that a new generation is enjoying it as much as mine did and still does today.

Watching music reactions on KZread I'm starting to really feel how lucky I was to grow up in this era of music. I just watched a reaction by the Bros to the Day on the,Green version of Free bird (I know you guys did this one too). I commented on how many Days on the Green we went to back in the 70's and 80's. For example, in 1978 Day on the Green #3 the lineup was Aerosmith, Foreigner, Pat Travers, Van Halen, and AC/DC. I'm pretty sure the ticket was less than $15 (I'm thinking $12 but it was a long time ago). It was an incredible time to grow up and we quite literally saw bands of this caliber nearly every weekend. On the other hand you have such incredible access digitally to so much great historical music; we didn't really have that. I'm glad you young guys can appreciate the music I grew up with and love so much; it makes me appreciate it even more!

Just ANOTHER example of the GENIUS of Supertramp. Amazing song from one of the greatest albums of all time......PERIOD!

Crisis, What Crisis? and Even in the Quietest Moments would round out the best albums from Supertramp. Breakfast in America was predominately a Roger Hodgeson production. I saw this band live in the mid-'80s after Roger left the band. They chose to not play any songs from Breakfast in America and their performance was so amazing, I didn't notice anything missing.

Thanks so much for this A&A...one of my favorite albums of all time! Crime of the Century just gets better the more you listen to it. This was an awesome surprise today, really enjoyed taking the journey!

This is simply one of the best albums of all time for me, desert island disks stuff. Thnx for the full react on patreon, been waiting for this one :)

This song gives me flashbacks to my freshman dorms.

In the instrumental section of Rudy there is the background announcing the train leaving "platform 2 for Bristol Temple Meads calling at Reading, Didcot, Swindon, Chippenham, Bath Spa and Bristol Temple Meads." I went to University of Bristol in the mid '80's and took the same train many times. Quite the connection to one of my fave songs.

They were phenomenal live! Thanks!

Thank u... I’ve been struggling with some of your music choices lately lol. Supertramp is one of the Goats!

If you look closely, the album credits an individual for "concert sound". I saw them in concert four times before Roger left. They always sounded exactly like their albums.

This contains one of the darkest lyrics in rock (to my mind anyway) “...And be like Johnny-too-good/and don’t you know he never shirks/ he’s coming along” it speaks to the programming we all go through in school. Ugh

Supertramp gets forgotten a bit. Thanks for bringing them back out. 😃

Boys! You have had thé experience I had at age 14. I then did not know what was coming over me. English is not my native language and at that age I mostly enjoyed the sounds, not getting the content at most parts at all. During the following years when the music of this album became known to me from note to note, slowly the message of each verse unraveled to me. This album was a discovery to me and it has taken years, litterally. It is my sheltering place when feeling off, it is my happy place when I am on a high. It is just so much to me. I am thrilled about your reactions and how you were overcome by this splendid album. There is a solid story about how this album came to be and it is easy to look up. Their third album, after the first two didn't actually do much. Man! There is also a live recording of a concert from 1974 included in the remastered CD version. You will be surprised how accurate they re-created this 'PLAY'. Another suggestion: the live album Paris, from 1979, emerged after the release of Breakfast In America. 6 of the songs from Crime feature on that one as well. The rendition of the titletrack will blow your mind! It was really a joy to listen to this album with you guys. It made me aware of some details I had taken for granted along the long, long way..... Love to you both. You are doing a good thing. ♥️

@@robertcartier5088 I have always experienced music as a bridge connecting different cultures. It works without boundaries. I will have a listen at your suggestion. Thank you as well. Cheers from The Netherlands!

One of my all-time favorite albums. I remember rushing to the record store the day it was released back in 1974. I was 13. It is still my favorite Supertramp album .I'm now 61. It sounds so fresh every time you hear it.

Well done, guys! Good to see you're still managing to find stuff worth listening to. :-)

Awesome, I feel like this band is A mix of the Bee Gees and Rush!!! Take that how you wish, I love both bands 😁💜

Bee Gees are musically underrated.

I was going to say Pink Floyd meets ELO, meets (late) Beatles

I think this was one of my "Get 12 albums for $1.00!!!" selections from Columbia House back in 1976/77. I wore it out and replaced it at least once.

It was only 2-3 years old then!!

So glad you guys did this album. Its actually their 3rd album. They kept it going with the album even in the quietest moments & crisis what crisis. Both were as good albums. To bad they couldn't get along as a group. Thank you for this, i really enjoyed listening to this with you guys.

Thanks gentlemen!!! Fitting end to a good day, and a lovely surprise!
