SUPERTRAMP debut is interesting and enjoyable piece of music, done in a typical
early "progressive" rock sound. Dominated by keyboards and guitars, the whole album
features Hodgson lead vocals and is obvious product of his romanticist, melancholic
songwriting. Highlights are "It's a Long Road", with wonderful organ and guitars sounding
like CARAVAN or later CAMEL, "Maybe I am a Beggar" and "Nothing to Show". "Try Again"
is a meandring, long-winding jazzy piece that often sounds lost. "Surely" miniatures open
and end this unjustly neglected package. Although not very essential for prog in any
way, "Supertramp" is extremely worthy album that should be recommended. All the
composing and production flaws aside, "It's a Long Road" alone can justify a purchase.
