Supertramp is my #2 all-time.. This to me is right up there with "Crime....."
I picked "A Soapbox Opera" but I also love "Normal Day", and "Another Man's Woman"

Just listened this first time and I really liked it, it´s now my favourite after the first album. But after one listening can´t say which of the songs is the best.

I consider this to be their best album by a small margin over Crime of the Century. "Sister Moonshine" is my favorite on this album, and one of the best they ever did!

For me, they can do no wrong. |
Ive read interview with old bandmate of Rick, Gilbert O'Sullivan whom when he descrbied hes own tutage into music. He was the drummer in a band were Rick played piano and organ, Rick was originaly a drummer and was quite serious practioner on drums yet he found out piano was more natural to him. So he switched. Yet Gilbert expressed it such it was not inly Rick whom tought him drums, but also quote Gilbert O'Sullivan "Tought me everything i needed to know about music" which is a good resume me think.

Crisis is an album with a very warm mood and production, i find the rythem section manage to develop a more personal groove on Crisis and i also like the diversity of music on it. My week spots are the hammond heavy Aint Nobody But Me.
Soapbox Opera, Whom i would have had on the CD player in Elon Musks spaceTesla instead of Space Oddity

I think this is the least listened to ‘Tramp album for me. A Soapbox Opera is the track that stood out for me, but really, I haven’t heard this album for over 2 decades. I still have it as a cassette tape which I bought in Bali.

FAR far and away the best songfrom that album. Dare anyone to not have a smile on their faces after listening to it... especially when you were in a sh*tty mood prior to it.
