Free Music Notes for The Very Best of Supertramp
Free Music Review: redefining classic
Hit: 5 Stars
My God. Supertramp. How could I have missed out on this and so much classic rock, having to instead be subjected to the sonic nightmares of today? Ok enough melodrama, this hits album is greatness. Crime of the century is definitely Supertramps best, followed by Breakfast in america. Appropriately a great # of songs from both albums are here, including my favorites: The logical song, Bloody well right, Take thel ong way home, Crime of the century, Dreamer, and Hide in your shell. They can only be called masterpieces. pop perfection if you will. However on a critical note, the lyrics just dont fit the music. The music is catchy, happy, melodic. The lyrics dark and often brooding and apocalyptic. Still, dont let that sway you, this album is very lcose to musical perfection in my humble little 21 yearo ld opinion.Free Music Review: Great songs
Hit: 3 Stars
The best songs are "The Logical Song" and "Bloody Well Right." Although most are in stereo, it's sort of hard to tell, unless you fiddle with the balance switch or listen really carefully. The piano and keyboards are great on this album, especially on the songs I mentioned above. The sleeve has quotes by the band members about each album. Most of the songs are pretty long, but it's okay if you have lots of time to spare. The only bad thing was that the booklet didn't have any photos of the band members.Free Music Review: poor product, poor service.

The CD arrived with scratches so deep as to be seen by the naked eye. I wrote the seller, and was told they would gladly send a return lable. Have not heard from them since.Free Music Review: Loved it

This album is near perfect. It's loaded with hits and is very fun to just sit back and listen to. I bought it for some key songs, such as "Take the Long Way Home" and "The Logical Song" which gets lots of radio play. Ever since I got it I can't stop listening to it, its just an all around great CD. Supertramp's music is both unique in the melody and vocals alike, and none of their songs are annoying and tiresome like many other artist out there. But one thing you have to take into consideration with a greatest hits album is how the tracks are put together. That is why I gave this a 4 out of 5. I would have mixed the tracks differently, I thought "Goodbye Stranger" should have been closer to the end and maybe "Breakfast in America" should have been one of the fronts. But that stuff isn't that important, and it doesn't really take away from the CD at all. In closing, this compliation was very pleasing and a delight to listen to.Free Music Review: Adequate for the less than hard core
Hit: 4 Stars
OK sampler. I tended to favor their earlier material and associate their later stuff as a bit too slick, too pop-like and written to score for the top 40 crowd. They didn't "sell out" it just made good business sense after they demonstrated their ability to deliver stellar, cutting edge material for its day that still holds its own. Their Crime of the Century and Crisis? What Crisis? LP's (CD's) were by far the best experience for my ears. You can't go wrong with this "Best of." However,if you want the full treatment and the continuity of their two masterpiece albums, get the two mentioned above instead of or in addition to "The Best of". I can only hope that the production values of the CD versions of these LP's are superior. The LP's suffered from incredibly poor dynamics and were very flat for such potent material.
