Best Album since Breakfast in America, September 29, 2000
This review is from: Open the Door (Audio CD)
As another reviewer said "The world mourned when Hodgson broke up with Supertramp in 1983". As I said in the title of this review, Open the Door is the best CD since the Supertramp Album Breakfast in America because Hodgson is the "Voice" of Supertramp and OTD is a real Supertramp CD , more Supertramp than the three previus CD's released by them under control of Richard Davies, his old partner. I am not saying that Davies/Supertramp Albums (Brother where your bound(85)/Free as a Bird(87)/Some thing never change(97) are bad albums, but they have diferent style than the great Supertramp albums, and they lack the Voice , the 12 string Guitar work and the Vocal hamonies of Hodgson, that makes it so special . OTD is a great album , much better than Hodgson's previus work. "Sleeping with the Enemy" (84) is very good , very progressive with longer tunes, but Hodgson played all the instruments on that CD and it lacks Musicianship and definition. "Hai Hai" (87) is weak. OTD has great songs like "More I look", the hit "Hungry" and the longer/progressive "Open the Door". The sound is excelent and Production are excelent too. The Band is mainly French, very good musicians , and the CD was recorded in France. I highly recommend this CD to any Supertramp fan. Enjoy it.

How popmusic should be,Hodgson being the sound ofSupertramp., November 22, 2002
This review is from: Open the Door (Audio CD)
Well I have seen him alone, live on stage in Milan (Italy), performing a great concert,with a stunning execution at the piano and a major impact as well, in comparison to his previous appearence in Italy with Supertramp... Well this concert and the CD Single as well, demonstrate the grandeur and the major influence of Roger on the whole stuff by Supertramp, this ensemble being without sense if it isn't supported by its former leader and vocalist...He explains to everyone how pop music should be!!

The magic continues., October 7, 2000
This review is from: Open the Door (Audio CD)
If there was ever an album that proves that Roger Hodgson has returned....this is the one. Along Came Mary reveals the passion and the artistry that only Hodgson can bring to any piece of music. Open the Door and For Every Man contains very complex melodies that only Hodgson can make look easy. For any Roger Hodgson/Supertramp lover, this is the album to get! The music will enchant you, and his passion and love for music will have you crying out "More". Thank you Roger for coming out with an album that is truly an artistic triumph.
