"Perhaps the most unusual of all Supertramp albums and you can see why it threw so many people. It has a rough edge to it, was totally different to the excellent debut but I will defend that in parts it has some great tracks which showed an inkling of better things to come.' Rosie Has Everything Planned' is a typical Hodgson song full of melancholy. ' Travelled'

"I had to re-write completely this review and upgrade the rating of this album as I reheard it for the first time in over twenty years. I can't actually believe that I had forgotten (not heard) how good this debut actually is. I had a re-listen to their second album but that one stays crappy - so in my mind this one was probably also. When memory fails...... But i
Supertramp é uma banda britânica de rock progressivo que lançou (emplacou) uma série de álbuns de sucesso nos anos 70. No princípio gravavam mais álbuns conceituais, mas tornaram-se mais conhecidos por suas posteriores canções ao estilo dos Beatles, como "Dreamer", "Give a Little Bit", "The Logical Song", "Breakfast in América", "It's Raining Again" e uma série de outros sucessos. Apesar do enorme sucesso o grupo, por opção, nunca alcançou o estrelato; era afirmado durante o auge de sua popularidade que os Supertramp eram a banda que mais vendia no mundo cujos integrantes poderiam andar na rua sem serem reconhecidos. E realmente, a banda era um sucesso tão estrondoso quanto os Rolling Stones, a diferença era que os cinco integrantes optavam por uma espécie de anonimato, sem grandes explorações comerciais. Segundo especialistas, esse fator comprova a qualidade natural da banda e (discutivelmente) a ratifica entre as cinco melhores e maiores bandas da história da mú

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.And all the birds in the trees, well theyd be singing so happily,Joyfully, playfully watching me.But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,Logical, responsible, practical.And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,Clinical, intellectual, cynical.
There are times when all the worlds asleep,The questions run too deepFor such a simple man.Wont you please, please tell me what we've learnedI know it sounds absurdBut please tell me who I am.
Now watch what you say or theyll be calling you a radical,Liberal, fanatical, criminal.Wont you sign up your name, wed like to feel youreAcceptable, respecable, presentable, a vegtable!
At night, when all the worlds asleep,The questions run so deepFor such a simple man.Wont you please, please tell me what weve learnedI know it sounds absurdBut please tell me who I am.
Supertramp - Breakfast In America(1979)320kbpsWith Breakfast in America, Supertramp had a genuine blockbuster hit, topping the charts for four weeks in the U.S. and selling millions of copies worldwide; by the 1990s, the album had sold over 18 million units across the world. Although their previous records had some popular success, they never even hinted at the massive sales of Breakfast in America. Then again, Supertramp's earlier records weren't as pop-oriented as Breakfast. The majority of the album consisted of tightly written, catchy, well-constructed pop songs, like the hits "The Logical Song," "Take the Long Way Home," and "Goodbye Stranger." Supertramp still had a tendency to indulge themselves occasionally, but Breakfast in America had very few weak moments. It was clearly their high-water mark.Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine(allmusic.com)1. Gone Hollywood (5:19)2. The Logical Song (4:10)3. Goodbye Stranger (5:50)4. Breakfast In America (2:39)5.
