You haven't heard the first two?

I've heard the first two, but it's like a different band. They have some decent moments showing lots of promise, but I consider them to be amateur, warm-up albums. The band reached the major leagues with the addition of John Helliwell.

The first lp is one of my all time favourite lps; Crime of the century is great lp (and was recorded with a mobile on a farm not far from here!) and most of the other lps have some nice moments. Indelibly Stamped was possibly the most disappointing second lp of all timeWink

Crime Of The Century. By a few dozen miles.

to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

The first is by far the most proggy. I'm not sure why people here don't like that one. The rest are rather poppy and/or straight rock in comparison.

I wonder why 2nd album "Indelibly Stamped" was left off the list. Not that it's a great album or anything, but it shouldn't be left out.

Because it's apparently not that good. I never heard it but it's not rated very highly. The fact that I don't have any "other" votes (not yet anyway) tells me I made the right decision by leaving it off.

Crime is one of the few albums I've heard that I can't find anything to critic against (Camel's Mirage may be another and was also released the same year). OK it may not be on the most cutting edge of prog rock releases compared to the likes of King Crimson and Genesis but it's defintely a prog album. I also love Breakfast In America although that is more pop/rock rather than art school rock which Crime is. I don't care for much other Supertramp other than Fool's Overture so it's a bit of weird one. I think much like Camel their greatest music was squeezed into just a few releases.

I went for Brother because it needs much reevaluation. What a splendid mid-80's album - and and a semi-conceptual one at that too. Almost as angry as a Roger Waters solo album, including the related videos. 

BTW, the other Roger's ITEOTS is also quite good, but lacks brilliance and shows hurt rather than anger.




Crisis, Breakfast, StarStarStar



FLW, IS, SNC, SM StarStar





































FAAB (not even 1Star - An Awful Thing To WasteLOL >> Roger's Haď2 is just as awful, BTW)

Beautifully put! I agree with you completely... one of the best 80's albums released by any band that had its roots in the 70's!!

I don't think there was any attempt to imitate the Bee Gees. The Supertramp vocals were always a bit high-pitched anyway.

Indeed.

Crest of Knave, ELPowell are far behind, though they're OK (at best)
Discipline is not the 70's Crimson and Floyd's two albums are more solo albums (one by Roger, which is OK, and David's is awful) than anything else.

Let's not even mention CensoredYes or AngryCamel

I mostly agree with what you say, although I'd prefer to listen to Gilmour's B-grade PF than Water's angst..

but with Camel? I actually like Nude, while Traveller is OK..
