Track highlights: 4. "Words Unspoken" (3 / 5)
Studio debut album by Supertramp. I have only come across the album in recent years, and really cannot see anything of interest in the album. The style is piano-founded pop / rock or soft rock with too much fusion. I have really never enjoyed a fusion of jazz and pop / rock much and this is for its time a typical blend with Hammond organ and various vocal harmonies blended with bold use of percussion, horns and elements from classical compositions, but in my ears, without much success or clear direction. It's a jam session of harmonic arrangements. At best, it's supermarket muzak.
