And so is this one. Classic.

Album Rating: 4.5

omg Torontonian, you gave a 3.0 to Crime of the Century too? D:

Album Rating: 4.0

Well yeah it's still excellent, and it has some amazing songs, but as a whole it doesn't feel anything like the previous few

Album Rating: 4.5

@Onirium, maybe they're more poppish here than usual, but it all remains some well crafted songs a la Supertramp. The only skippable songs I can see would be both ''Just Another Nervous Wreck'' and ''Casual Conversations''. The rest is quite enjoyable. 4 is a good rating btw.

Album Rating: 4.0

Yeah I have no problem with them being more poppish, but personally I think what suited them best was when they included those pop influences in a more progressive (for lack of a better word) context. But this album definitely proves their songwriting versatility, as those are amazingly composed poppier songs that still completely sound like Supertramp.



I just finished jamming the album again, and the two songs you named were definitely the weakest. 4 sounds like the appropriate rating for me right now

Album Rating: 4.5

I must confess that out of these three other classic albums, Breakfast arrives at the fourth place. In a third place, it would be Even in the Quietest Moments that is using a lot of its music in a poppish way too, the second one Crisis, and then, the icing on the cake, their incredible Crime of the Century in the first place.

Album Rating: 4.0

It would probably be the same for me, with Brother Were You Bound?, Famous Last Words and their debut being 5th, 6th and 7th. The rest could easily be thrown away to be honest.



Crime of the Century is just a timeless classic, definitely among my all-time favourite albums. Seeing them live in 1977 with Harmonium would have been a life-changing experience

Album Rating: 4.5

Omg it gives me chills just to think about it. I mean Harmonium and Supertramp. Just wow!



The very first show I've seen was Breakfast in America in 1979. It was a memorable one. Supertramp are known as a generous formation, and they kept their reputation alive. Jean-Luc Ponty was there to open the show. Lucky me, I was familiar with him too. Simply unforgettable prestations.

Album Rating: 4.0

Wow that must have been awesome, I envy you! From what I hear on the Paris live album, they seemed like a

pretty epic live band. I still need to check Jean-Luc Ponty though. Harmonium live is another dream

that sadly will never come true



My first show was actually Pierre Lapointe a couple years ago, you must be familiar with him?

Album Rating: 4.5

Onirium check the DVD version of Paris, slightly better set list and watching them makes it way more epic

Album Rating: 3.0 | Sound Off

child of vision is probably my favorite supertramp song.

Album Rating: 4.5

@Onirium; Speaking of Supertramp Paris, it must have been sensibly the same show of mine, since both were done during the Breakfast in America tour.

As for Jean-Luc Ponty, his very best includes Imaginary Voyage, Enigmatic Ocean, Cosmic Messenger and Mystical Adventures.

And for Harmonium, have you considered their tribute band ''Le Premier Ciel''. They are often touring around Montreal.

I only know Pierre Lapointe by his name. I'm gonna check it out.



@MSLG, That's a good idea. Do you have a link for it?



@Torontonian, that's a fantastic song indeed.

Album Rating: 4.5

I sent you one long ago Jethro, you didn't wanted to open it cause you thought it could've been a virus :v



Now I haven't found another way to look at it on internet, you know how mr. Hodgson is about copyright issues

Album Rating: 4.0

@Jethro if it was the same setlist as on the Paris album, it must have been incredible! I'll check Jean-Luc Ponty, his stuff has been recommended to me a couple of times. As for Pierre Lapointe, I'd rec you to jam La Forêt des Mal-Aimés and his self-titled debut first if you want to check him out. It's not always amazing, but it's usually really interesting singer-songwriter stuff.

Also, I've heard about that Harmonium cover band, but as awesome as their music could sound like live, I've never been too big on cover bands

Album Rating: 4.0

Sorry, double post

Album Rating: 4.5

Gotcha MSLG, I remember that story. And no I wasn't aware about Hodgson's attitude towards the copyrights.



@Onirium, I can understand you about the cover bands. I'm not a big fan myself, except that I've enjoyed to see The Musical Box. And twice rather than once. As for Pierre Lapointe, thanks for the rec. In any chance, have you ever heard Karkwa? It's another solid band from our hometown. Cheers!

Album Rating: 4.0

@Jethro man I love Karkwa, Le Volume du Vent is among my favorite albums of all time! They've got that unique sound and particular atmosphere, it's just brilliant. The Québec musical scene definitely has a lot gems

Album Rating: 4.5

I agree all the way! However I don't tend to retain very much the name of the newest quebecers artists. I'm more into the 70s progressive scene such as Harmonium, Octobre, Maneige, Morse Code, Sloche, Beau Dommage...

A few contemporary ones come to mind; Les 3 accords, Les Frères à Cheval... Patrick Watson, Karkwa, Luc De Larochellière, Les Respectables, Les Colocs...my memory is just not too good when it comes to those.

Album Rating: 4.0

I'm more into the 70s bands when it comes to Québec music too, but there's still excellent stuff going on in

the scene, especially the ones you named. I don't know, it seems like it's the singer-songwriter formula

that overtook the scene; that's not necessarily a bad thing, but they are at times generic. The only ones

I'd add to what you said would be Jean Leloup, Bernard Adamus and Klô Pelgag (and of course Godspeed)
