Supertramp is in a league of their own , So glad you are diving into their catalog ! After hearing this album you will definitely want to dive into more of Supertramp ! "Crime of the Century"
A very unique band, all their albums are just brilliant. They are brilliant live, their double live album ‘Live In Paris ‘ is fantastic. Their ‘ Crime of The Century’ is a Classic album!
The dream of every musician anywhere anytime and any place is to make someone get out of their chair in excitement because their music moved you. Beautiful moment to watch. Hope someone from the band sees it someday
Supertramp is so creative and amazing. They created a sound onto themselves - such a tasty rabbit hole. I had this album on release - where did it go....
So glad to see you reacting to Supertramp ! These men are criminally underrated in my opinion, one of my 4-5 favorite bands of all time Not a big amount of albums but enough to have a wonderful catalog, I advise you to listen to the rest of this album of course : their banger (and it’s true), then you should go back in time for Crime of the Century (their first album with the classic lineup and What a GEM that is !!) Crisis what crisis, the next album is a little bit underrated i think, Even in the quietest moments is very strong too and to conclude Famous last words and Brother where you bound are really good too (some unbelievable tracks in these two) (Sorry for the possible English’ mistakes, I come from Belgium 😅)
Your English is PERFECT. My only complaint, if I was your English teacher, would be the way you named your albums. You said something like, “…Brother where you bound.” I would have written, “…Brother Where You Bound.” To me, putting the entire name of the song OR album in “quotes,” tell’s people who know nothing about what you’re talking about, that this is the name of something… in its entirety. Otherwise, you jump to the head of the class!!! (By the way, I grew up in Alaska.) I might also add: Whenever you write something down on paper, for the entire World to see, do your best to be “grammatically correct.” If you don’t mind looking stupid or lazy, do what you want (texting). If you do care about how you might be perceived, spend a few extra moments…and keystrokes…taking PRIDE in your work; you won’t regret it!
Silas, this is in my top ten albums, maybe top five. It's a masterpiece quite honestly. You're going to love and cherish it. I'm jealous of you for hearing this for the first time. ☺
Yes! Silas! You're so awesome. Exactly how I felt about hearing this song/album the first time Spring 1979. Listened to it every day all summer long. Thanks for reminding and taking us back to a great time in our lives.
I got this album on the same day I got my first job. I almost didn't want to go to work since I was listening to it for the first time in the car on my way to work! Supertramp are just fire. In my top 5 bands for sure.
I have been fortunate enough to have seen Supertramp “The Tramp” Live 3 times. Their live shows are a spectacle and brilliant. Each member is a musical genius. Rick Davies is my favorite keyboards player and John Helliwell is favorite Sax player. He is a blast to watch live. The bass and drummer are awesome and Roger’s guitars are superb. The only live show I put above Supertramp is Pink Floyd, who I have seen 4 times.
I haven't even started the video but I can tell you that this group is by far the most underrated Rock group of all time ...and in I don't know why.....you be the judge my young friend ! Peace and Love
Great album from a great band. I spent four weeks in Greece back in the Summer of 1985, and Supertramp was everywhere. I had already been a fan for a decade by then.
Had never heard this song. I was getting ready to say it was too soft but I loved how proggy it rolls. The variations and change ups are superb. I love that you are this open minded.❤
It was a saxophone in the slow part. Supertramp has been one of my favorite bands for a long time. I saw them live in concert in 1979 and Breakfast in America was their best album
I saw Tramp on their first stop in America, the Greensboro Coliseum in 1979. Only about 7,000 because their radio hits "Bloody Well Right" and "Even In The Quietist Moments" were just not well recognized until this tour. Everyone was silent during the performance of each song, which was simply amazing to me. Then standing ovations at the end of each song. I just could not get over how great the sound was. The instrumentals, the lighting. the vocals and the total orchestration. Just so sorry of the split. They left so much on the table in terms of success.
My personal fave off this album is Goodbye Stranger. But they're a great band overall! You should also check out their song "Bloody Well Right", off of their "Crime of the Century" album, another personal fave which has some Beatles 70's vibes to it (their weird stuff near the end of their run). Roger Hodgson, the lead singer, also did solo work, and had at least one big commercial hit in the 80s..."Had A Dream (Sleeping With The Enemy)".
I honestly think if there was a way of objectively judging the quality of music, and admittedly it's a big if, a ranking of the top 100 albums in history would consist mostly of those from the 1970s. In my opinion it was when skilled musicianship, profound songwriting, unbridled creativity and genre diversity were all simultaneously at their peak, and often encapsulated in Supertramp's timeless nuggets of prog pop. It's why, though my tastes have changed over the years, Supertramp have never lost their spot on my top three bands of all time.
Hi Silas, Great Album, I know it's CDs now, but it was an experience back in the day to sit with a record with your friends or alone and hear an Album for the first time and read the liner notes🎼🎵and hear the album on the player
Another fantastic choice, Silas. This album was my Saturday morning in Southern California relaxing before I go out and start my day music choice. You definitely have to watch their live stuff. You will like "Goodbye Stranger".
It´s sooo nice seeing a young man like you loving this music like I do! When I was young 30 years ago the most music you react to was already old, but I always liked the music from 60ies, 70ies and 80ies most! You should als listen to "The Alan Parsons Project", "Thin Lizzy", "Asia" ans "Saga". You havn´t reacted to them so far, as far as I saw. But I think you will like them. To my favourite band "The Who" you reacted already. Made me happy. Go on like that. There is many many more! Greetings from Germany!
Although I'm a trumpet player myself, that was actually a sax, and it shows up quite a lot in their work. If you remember it played a prominent role in The Logical Song at times. I can't recall whether Bloody Well Right is on this album or Crime of the Century, but if it's not on this album, you might also consider doing Bloody Well Right as a standalone. It's so classic!
Finally on to Supertramp... glad to see how engaged you were! I liken them to a poppier Pink Floyd: technically brilliant, deeply layered, meaningful lyrics.
Really glad you're getting to this great album and I hope you hit their 'Crime of the Century' album later as I think you might like that one even more. At least check out 'School' from that one, you're the right age for that one and parts of it may resonate. You might also consider doing a second listen to 'The Logical Song' to keep the full album flow and to see if you feel differently about it now after the other things you've been exposed to since you first heard it.
I’ve yet to see a single reaction of The Stooges’ Gimme Danger. Easily one of the greatest punk songs ever written. The song’s energy is otherworldly. HIGHLY recommend reaction to it
This album was too pop for my taste. Their best was the three previous ones: Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis? and Even in the Quietist Moments.

Crime of the century is a must

Your English was just fine. It was better than many with English as their first language. 🙂

I don’t know what’s more orgasmic; this guy’s reaction at 5:35, or the beginning of Helliwell’s sax solo at 6:49.
Silas, this is in my top ten albums, maybe top five. It's a masterpiece quite honestly. You're going to love and cherish it. I'm jealous of you for hearing this for the first time. ☺
They have so many instruments , they have the saxophone , the flute , the French horn , the xylophone , hermonica just to name a few ...
The saxophone and guitar work on that song and that whole album are amazing.
Yes! Silas! You're so awesome. Exactly how I felt about hearing this song/album the first time Spring 1979. Listened to it every day all summer long. Thanks for reminding and taking us back to a great time in our lives.
Glad someone is reacting to this song, it's a badass song!
Great video this is my FAVORITE song on the entire record. The melody, the vocals and the instrumentation is absolutely incredible. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I got this album on the same day I got my first job. I almost didn't want to go to work since I was listening to it for the first time in the car on my way to work! Supertramp are just fire. In my top 5 bands for sure.
This album is a masterpiece,. Supertramp is a band "infravalorada" por la historia de la música. Grandes, muy grandes. Temazos los de este album.Todos
I have been fortunate enough to have seen Supertramp “The Tramp” Live 3 times. Their live shows are a spectacle and brilliant. Each member is a musical genius. Rick Davies is my favorite keyboards player and John Helliwell is favorite Sax player. He is a blast to watch live. The bass and drummer are awesome and Roger’s guitars are superb.

Got to see Pink Floyd in 75. What a great show they put on.
I haven't even started the video but I can tell you that this group is by far the most underrated Rock group of all time ...and in I don't know why.....you be the judge my young friend ! Peace and Love

Supertramp forever ( hellofrom denmark ) grew up with Supertramp

You picked a great album to review!
You will definitely love Supertramp.
You may inadvertently know the title track of this album. About 10 years ago, a band sampled the main hook and had a huge hit with it
Hi Silas, Great Album, I know it's CDs now, but it was an experience back in the day to sit with a record with your friends or alone and hear an Album for the first time and read the liner notes🎼🎵and hear the album on the player
Incidentally, the brass instrument you're hearing in the bridge is a saxophone...either a soprano or alto sax. Good stuff, huh?
Another fantastic choice, Silas. This album was my Saturday morning in Southern California relaxing before I go out and start my day music choice. You definitely have to watch their live stuff. You will like "Goodbye Stranger".
This is a great album. It was the first album I ever bought with money I made working. It’ll always be my first. ❤️
It´s sooo nice seeing a young man like you loving this music like I do! When I was young 30 years ago the most music you react to was already old, but I always liked the music from 60ies, 70ies and 80ies most!

It’s on Crime of the Century. I agree it’s worth a review. I’d do School at the same time, as they’re a pair.
@@mikecavaretta2621 Oh that's right! Definitely.
Thanks for this deep cut. I haven't heard it in 40+ years. 😎
Breakfast in America is a classic album, a masterpiece and not one bad song on it. One of the first albums I owned as a kid in 1979.
You really want to see "Rudy' LIVE, with the Train Ride video. Your subscribers will like it too.
Silas, doing this album will push you over 10k... 😎 Take The Long Way Home is one of my favorite songs ever!
Great reaction reminds me of my first reaction to that song many decades ago
This was such a good reaction, was vibing hard with ya :D
Yep. Play the whole album
I was 17 when I bought this when it came out and never knew how it would become one of the greatest albums of all time and I've never gotten sick of🙂
Finally on to Supertramp... glad to see how engaged you were! I liken them to a poppier Pink Floyd: technically brilliant, deeply layered, meaningful lyrics.
Breakfast is one of my favorite albums of all time. And I’m 14.
interesting song to start with. Not a very known song of theirs.
It is nearly two weeks since you did anything on Patreon. Pleeeease do some more.
Super(cruisin')Tramp!
Really glad you're getting to this great album and I hope you hit their 'Crime of the Century' album later as I think you might like that one even more. At least check out 'School' from that one, you're the right age for that one and parts of it may resonate.

just wait until you get to "School"
It gets better...
Your reaction is the same as mine EVERY TIME I hear GONE HOLLYWOOD
this album has no misses!
You got to listen to Salisbury, Uriah Heep!
_Crime of the Century_ would be a great introduction to these guys. It was their breakout album.
I’ve yet to see a single reaction of The Stooges’ Gimme Danger. Easily one of the greatest punk songs ever written. The song’s energy is otherworldly. HIGHLY recommend reaction to it
I believe that’s the clarinet.❤
Excelente álbum ♥️
love the reaction at 4:53
Been thinking you should try reviewing STYX Equinox & Grand Elusion. Awesome guitar driven rock!
I think I had a similar reaction in 1980
Live version from Paris 1979 of Child of Vision. Please.
Fantastic album. You’re in for a treat. You need to get your girlfriend (Alivia?) in on the reactions.
Dude. You gotta take it easy on that weed.
This album was too pop for my taste. Their best was the three previous ones: Crime of the Century, Crisis? What Crisis? and Even in the Quietist Moments.
Just sit.................... : ) LOL
🇧🇷😎
Hmm, I'm not sure why you got out of your chair. 🤔
3:23 3:27
Firm no for me. Glad others seem to dig it! 👍
Yea. Agree. Singing sounds like an army of Shirley Temple clones.
Saxophone
Pronounced Hawj eh son
3:06
After listening to Supertramp, your ears will only be able to listen to a few other musicians and certainly not the tons of shit that's spinning now.
noob
