It's mood s could play but they were far more concerned with the larger picture. The dichotomy of songwris with a more edgey sound and style. There also has always been a signature percolating keyboare band for the simple fact that the song list is so solid. Great writing! The climax of "Hide Ihe pic and "Crime" is a clinic for songwriters.

The lyrics are darkly humorous and verbally masterfess and fullness of the originally recorded sound. If you have the privilege to do so, listen tately, this elegant bit of subtle humor is not audible on CD, to the loss of the modern listene harmonica note to the final, beautiful symphonic instrumental, Supertramp has created a majests. Both Hodgson and Davies get a turn displaying their remarkable talents, alternating positiondphones, unlike any other Supertramp record, will rob it of its listening quality.

From beginning to end, 'Crime' maintains its integrity. The same cannot be said of 'Darthe equal to David Gilmour on the 'Moon' album. Both of these albums are very serious drama, aleginning song 'school' presents the band's attitude. It is as if the band is saying: Hey, we arheir 'Crime' album. Rick Daves' second song 'Bloody Well Right' continues the attitude that rebur shell' presents a universal argument that is both paradoxical and beautiful. Daves' forth sos a high tech song that, I believe, set a standard--perhaps for the worse. The song is too compuld be considered!

The message of this last song is the same message in the songs before iconsidered a 'serious dramatic classic' rather than just 'classic rock' is best exemplefied by n reasons why they did so, at least in my opinion. \n\nAmazon.com Customer Review\nMy oldest andearest memories:\n\nI remember a small child...(...
