5.0 out of 5 stars Arguably Supertramp's Best, October 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Famous Last Words (Audio CD)

I discovered this album 10 years ago. Initially it was enjoyable, mostly for the popish "It's Raining Again" and "My Kind of Lady." But this album, as much as Springsteen's "The River" or Dan Fogelburg's "Innocent Age," needs to be listened to again and again to derive satisfaction from its entirety. Supertramp manages to capture diverse musical styles in the various songs and bring a continuity to this album which is unparalleled. "Know Who You Are" is one of the most haunting, gorgeously textured songs in modern music. This is one of my favorite albums of all time, even if based only on many thousands of times I have listened to it! Highly, highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars These are really the LAST Words, November 10, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Famous Last Words (Audio CD)

This is the last Album Supertramp did before "the Voice" Roger Hodgson left to his solo career. It's still kind of the old Supertramp sound but one misses the spirit of the early recordings.

"It's raining again" is already an evergreen.

I wished Supertramp could keep in that formation to give more of that refreshing sound. The mixture between Rock and soft ballads is what makes up Supertramp.

The followed Album "Brother where you bound" lacks already 1/2 of the Supertramp sound given by roger Hodgson (meaning the soft Ballads are missing).

5.0 out of 5 stars Not as commercially successful as "Breakfast In America", but arguably just as good (if not better), March 16, 2007

Supertramp reached the peak of its pop greatness with this album, one that I have never tired of listening to from start to finish. It's hard to recommend any one song over another, but the super-catchiness of the semi-danceable "Crazy" and the "live" feel of "Put On Your Old Brown Shoes", as well as the upbeat optimism of "My Kind Of Lady" are all top-tier examples of great music.
