Free Music Review: What's for supper?
Hit: 1 Stars
This album takes me back to the beach in the long, hot summer of 1979. Wouldn't that be reason enough to own it and play it frequently? But I don't.
Here's why. It's the title track. 'Breakfast' contains some good songs with reasonable lyrics (Take the long way home, Lord is it mine, Casual conversations) but it's the title track that stinks. And not just a little bit, but with such force that owning this CD is an embarrasment. Let me be a little more specific.
The song itself is a filler. Anybody could have written this dumb, nondescript little melody. The arrangement is not worth mentioning. And now for the words:
'Take a look at my girlfriend, she's the only one I've got'. Are we supposed to praise him for his fidelity, or mourn the lack of other girlfriends?
'Not much of a grilfriend, I never seem to get a lot'. Therapy might help.
'Take a Jumbo cross the water, like to see America.' Is that escapism, or just a holiday?
'See the girls in California' ... Good idea.
'Hoping it's going to come true, 'cause there's not a lot I can do.' What must come true? And why is it that there's not a lot you can do?
'Lalalala, lalala lalalaladida.' Gimme a break ...
I simply don't understand why anybody in his right mind would allow this childish scribble to be published all over the world.
I think I'll skip breakfast. What's for supper?
Breakfast in America Poster
After a shaky start followed by several critically acclaimed releases, the English group Supertramp hit the commercial jackpot in 1979 with Breakfast in America. The album combined the band's FM radio, AOR-rock style with an almost carnival-like nature. Breakfast gave the band major hits with "The Logical Song," "Goodbye Stranger," and "Take the Long Way Home." The plinking piano and dramatic clarinet runs of "The Logical Song" imparted a comic, yet bittersweet tone to the release as a whole. In another example of the band's devotion to alternative ways to carry their melody lines, "Goodbye Stranger" rings with some of the purest whistling ever recorded. There's also a healthy dose of cynicism running through the 10 tracks with "Just Another Nervous Wreck." --Steve GdulaDigitally Remastered Edition of their Biggest Selling Album Ever and their Most Creative as Well. Includes the Top Ten Singles 'take the Long Way Home', 'the Logical Song', and 'goodbye Stranger'.
