4th studio album by Supertramp. Like the successful Crime of the Century (1974) the album is co-produced by Ken Scott. It's the first album I ever heard with the band. I used to borrow the album from my older brother, and really liked it a lot. Eventually, he gave me the album when he moved out of our family house back in '78. I still consider the album the band's best. It's right there on the verge of progressive rock art pop and the more cheesy and standardised pop they made later on, and I like it more than its more famous predecessor because it's a move away from bluesy American r&b soft rock to a more simplified European art pop.
