Our Take

In the grand pantheon of classic rock albums, SUPERTRAMP's Crime of the Century stands tall like a colossal slab of 70s prog-rock goodness. Released in 1974, this album oozes with whimsical melodies, intricate arrangements, and that unmistakable British charm that only SUPERTRAMP can deliver.

Crime of the Century opens with the haunting piano intro of "School," setting the tone for the album's dark and introspective lyrics. As the album progresses, tracks like "Bloody Well Right" and "Rudy" showcase the band's musical dexterity, blending elements of rock, pop, and even a hint of jazz to create a sound that is truly their own.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "Dreamer," a wistful ballad that showcases the band's ability to write catchy hooks while still maintaining a sense of depth and complexity. The soaring vocals and intricate instrumentation make this track a true gem in the SUPERTRAMP discography.

Overall, Crime of the Century is a masterpiece of 70s rock music, a testament to SUPERTRAMP's songwriting prowess and musicianship. Whether you're a die-hard fan of the band or a newcomer to their music, this album is sure to captivate and entertain from start to finish.
