Crisis? What Crisis (1975)

It's the follow-up album. (You can tell that, 'cause both album titles start with the same first three letters.) It's not quite as good.

Even in the Quietest Moments (1977)

Don Ignacio -

Supertramp is a band I've only ever heard on the radio. I am deeply into classic prog rock, and suspected that Supertramp might be on the fringe of that category. Your reviews make me want to hear their albums; and I will.

Just a note: The "Breakfast in America" album cover is a take-off of New York City. The woman is the Statue of Liberty.

Hello Don. My name is Ben. I know you are upset about Roger Hodgson leaving Supertramp in 1983. I think you should listen to Supertramp more often. I have most of their albums at home, and their music is OK. You should go out and buy Roger Hodgson CDs, and see if you like them. I'll be waiting.
