Supertramp continues their anniversary celebrations with another half speed remaster reissue, and this time it\u2019s their sixth album, 1979\u2019s Breakfast In America<\/i>. The record picked up plenty of awards, spawned three hit singles and is the band\u2019s best selling album. Here we get to experience it with superior sound.<\/p>\n
\u201cGone Hollywood\u201d stars with Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson\u2019s unmistakable voices in both busy and soft sounds that use John Helliwell\u2019s rich sax strategically. \u201cGoodbye Stranger\u201d arrives soon with Davies handling clavinet alongside Bob Siebenberg\u2019s adaptable drumming, and \u201cOh Darling\u201d finishes the first side and buzzes with a playfulness and very meticulous keys.<\/p>\n
\u201cTake The Long Way Home\u201d opens the second side, and we all know this one. It\u2019s a Supertramp staple, and places Hodgson on lead vocals that we\u2019ve all sung along to at some point in our lives. \u201cLord Is Mine\u201d then focuses on piano and mood, where intimacy enters the gentle melodies and lush atmosphere.<\/p>\n
Further into the backside, Davies takes the lead with the gritty yet harmonic \u201cJust Another Nervous Wreck,\u201d which allows for some intricate guitar solos, while \u201cCasual Conversation\u201d blends the wind and synth amid a calm climate. \u201cChild Of Vision\u201d exits, and makes great use of Dougie Thomson\u2019s bass skills that helps showcase Supertramp\u2019s inimitable brand of art, soft and progressive rock.<\/p>\n
Supertramp were already globally enjoyed when this album arrived, but it propelled the outfit into further fame and has continued to sell well and make plenty of lists as far as being one of the most influential rock albums of all time.<\/p>\n
This version puts the classic on 180-gram heavyweight vinyl and was half speed mastered at Abbey Road Studios. If you\u2019re only going to pick up one Supertramp album, I\u2019d make it this one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":35513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"artist":[6166],"rating":[5617],"class_list":["post-47413","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-supertramp","rating-rating-b-plus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/89"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/47413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47413"},{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=47413"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=47413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
