Free Music Review: ...Sounds great, except...
Hit: 4 Stars
As with the rest of the Supertramp remasters - long overdue, even in 2002 - the sound quality here is fantastic. Supertramp always took care in the studio to record and construct their albums with fantastic sound and lots of dynamic range. Given this was Hodgson's last album (and subsequent tour), the lyrics become tinged with sadness and meta-meaning beyond their context in the songs.
However... I don't know the specifics of the how or why, but the beginning of "Bonnie" is glitched up. To my ear, it sounds as if someone with a razor blade or some digital editing software tried to recreate the beginning of the track, but used the later repetition when the xylophone came in over the piano to replay the opening phrase. Anyway, the result is just wrong, and bugged me until I pulled out my old copy of the CD and (there's that digital editing software again) took the beinning of the track from the old CD and 'pasted' it over the offending phrase. I felt better after that. ;)
