Dude I love your channel. It’s so unique. I can’t stand reactors who just stare at nothing for the entirety of what they’re listening to and are like “thanks for watching” at the end. You give your REAL opinion and defend it. You analyze the track and point out what is great. I just really appreciate the fact that you review tracks rather than react to them. Your channel is gonna be huge one day, keep up the good work.
And unlike Doug Helvering-The Daily Doug-who talks all through the song. "There a B flat. Oh, now a D diminished, etc, etc. lol I still like him despite that, though gets a little tedious at times. - And Justin plays at a decent volume, & waits till the song is over before giving his analysis, which are thought-provoking & insightful.
Thanks for reacting to this........Very insightful. I have this on a thumbdrive with about 750 other songs on it. The other day my wife and 7 year old daughter were talking and my wife said something to her and said, "Right?" And Baby Girl said, "Yes mom right....You're bloody well right. You've got the bloody right to say." Right then I knew I was raising her right.
A dark gem can be found in "If everyone was listening", arguably the lesser song of the album. The whole CotC sessions were something: Supertramp doesn't create that much, but from these sessions, they wrote enough stuff for at least three albums, and in fact many songs of their nexts albums would be cuttoffs from this album. I call that "being touched by God".
The effect this song has when they used this song as an opening for their concert is unmatched by anyone. The stage is dark ,the piano starts and when it breaks into all the instruments the stage lights up and you can physically feel the music hit you like a huge wave slamming you backwards. At that moment you knew everything you did to get there was well worth it and be ready for one hell of a ride. It was a incredible experience that I never forgot ! I never missed a chance to go back after that. I think it's great that you're continuing on with Supertramp. Oh, and I suspect the name of the band is sounding better on your brain already?
Lucky enough to have seen Supertramp live 3 times, on the Quietest Moments, Breakfast In America, and Famous Last Words tours in LA while I was in Navy and living in San Diego. You have reviewed many of my favorite, formative bands of my youth (after the Beatles, in fact, the best band of the 20th Century), and I was OBSESSED with Prog Rock from age 14-30...Yes, Genesis, Supertramp, Rush, UK, Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Chris Squire, Jethro Tull, Starcastle, Kansas, etc. You are reviewing some of the best music of the 20th Century and of All Time! I am relieving the music of my youth through your videos, which remind me of how my friends and I would talk about theses Groups and Albums. Great Channel.
Right there with ya buddy! I was too young for the Quiets tour, but caught the last two in Montreal. That show stopper on the final tour with the video screen and all the album covers and the scissors on the tightrope... what an amazing show.
The Wurlitzer electric piano intro is pretty sweet. The Wurlitzer has a distinctive sound, especially when you hit the notes hard: then it reveals it's 'bark'. This stood out at the time even though electric pianos were widely used in the 70's, but almost everyone used the (Fender) Rhodes electric piano which has a different, much smoother sound. Great song, lots of very catchy bits. I love the horns and the Wah-wah pedal on the guitar, too. Lots more gems to be heard on this album. Thanks!! Stay safe, be well. Peace from SF P.S. If you'd like to hear a truly great song, and a good example of the Fender Rhodes piano, check out Roberta Flack's 'Killing Me Softly with His Song'. Still one of my all-time favorite songs.
There are two singers. Roger Hodgson is the one who sang School (most of it), and has the much higher pitched voice. RICK Davies is the one who sounds like a soulful Kermit the Frog. Roger had the edge in singing the commercial hits, though Rick sang a number of them.
I was excited to see this title on your channel. I wrote a few weeks ago that this song has one of the all-time grrrrreat intros, and you apparently agree! You have a real treat in store as the album builds toward the fantastic title track!
Time to get aboard the Supertramp,do not stop at the Logical Songs. Because Even In The Quietest Moments, every one is Bloody Well Right! And it would be the Crime Of The Century! Peace from CT.
Excellent point. For most, including my younger self, prog rock is a lot to digest when you are first exposed to it. Supertramp is a good entry point introduction to the genre.
This song is So Good and Catchy right from the first note on the electric piano and is soo cool Ricks Voice suits this song so well. This album is amazing I know you’ll like every song on here
Entry Level Prog! You nailed it again... that's Supertramp. This track was never a favourite of mine, but listening again, after all these decades, that's a phat sound they had there!
I prefer Roger’s singing but Rick’s role as lead singer has grown with me in time. (Did I get away with that?) I pretty much disliked the song back then but, I bloody well like it now. This is why I dig this channel, you help me reevaluate sometimes musically unfairly disliked songs. It only took 46 years to like the bloody well right part so in 2066 you’ll love it. Take care all, be sensibly safe please, Peace and Music, bloody well right!
Ahhh, Junior High all over again. Even though a hard song to dance to, this song was the highlight of our school dances until the following year when "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth came out. Of course, everyone would yell "Quite right!" either on the dance floor or being a wallflower. And yes was bobbing my head to this song listening to it here.
I haven't been around much so I'm just getting to comment on some of these recent videos. But I love this song. Its one of my Supertramp favorites. The piano solo at the beginning is brilliant if you were ever as lucky as I was to see them live. If you loved the intro on Crime of the Century, trust me, seeing them live, that intro was awesome. Supertramp was one of the most musically talented groups I ever saw. All the members could play multiple instruments. I agree, the vocals by Supertramp aren't as strong as, say Phil Collins or David Gilmour.
There are two main vocalists with Supertramp. Rick who sings Bloody Well Right and Roger who sang School. Each one writes the song that they take lead vocal on. Rick’s songs tend to be slightly more rock and jazz oriented, Roger tends to go for rock/pop songs. Both are superb at what they do. Next up is Roger’s Hide In Your Shell which is sublime! Enjoy
Another song with a great electric piano intro is "Eat That Question" from Frank Zappa's 1972 Grand Wazoo album. The first 3 min. feature keyboard player George Duke; a key member of that particular Zappa band configuration.
Loving your journey through this seminal album. Yours is the best reaction channel going, no interruption to the song and by the time you get to the 2nd or 3rd listen to a band you make sure you're familiar with the band through off screen research. Helping us to make it through the lockdown nicely!
Great review as always, you're going to love the rest of the album as well. Yes, "School" is the best track on the album, but the album as a whole is a great listen.
Dude I found your channel on pure chance- been on a Supertramp kick lately, & was looking for reactions & you're one of 2 people to react to this awesomeness- been listening to Supertramp for almost all of my 40 years on this earth- awesome sauce to see people still discovering this epic group! Ya definitely got a subscription from me!
Supertramp was ahead of their time in the cynical, socially progressive type of mentality. Their lyrics fit the late 70s/80s times with the huge generation gap between WWII parents and the Vietnam generation kids.
I'm glad you're checking out some Supertramp! Man, I love these reaction videos, mainly because it's incentive for me to listen to a lot of the music from my high school days! 😁 Keep goin', Dude!
Your comment about this being a stepping stone to prog very much chimes with me. Prior to hearing this album I was very young and only listened to radio friendly pop. When we watched TV and saw bands playing music with long hear and beards, we would immidiately dismiss them as bearded hippies. But then i heard the single Dreamer and loved it. When I saw the band play it on TV they were bearded hippies. So I had to reassess my opinion of such bands. I borrowed the album off someone, and played it to death. Scratched it so badly I had to pay for it. But it was a landmark album for me, it showed me that there was some interesting stuff out there, and from there it was on to Yes, Genesis, Rush etc. And yes, you will hear similarities to Floyd as the album goes on, DSOTM particularly.
May I suggest Roads to Moscow by Al Stewart? I only see one reaction video on youtube for this song. I remember the first time I heard it, I was a teenager scrubbing my bedroom floor (under duress) and when it played on the transistor radio it mesmerized me. Al Stewart is a history buff and he really captures the feeling of World War II in this very melancholy song. He is also the person who introduced me to Nostradamus with his song of the same name. Some of the quatrains that he references in that song had not yet occurred at the time the album was published, so that's an interesting one too. But Roads to Moscow is better IMO.
I was 13 when I first got my hands on this album. It was the soundtrack to my early teens and I still get nostalgic when I hear any track from the album. I enjoyed your thoughts about the song.
Thank you for reacting to Supertramp. Child of Vision is another awesome song with a great piano solo 😬. Roger Hodgson still tours and he sounds amazing...I think you would really watching him perform.
"Let me in the door. Give me some food." You crack me up. Really enjoying the trip down memory lane - it's making me think about school friends I haven't seen since 1980!
Hey Justin, spot on .. hard for me to prefer one over the other (School or Bloody Well Right), Rick Davies voice in the chorus isn't his strongest, but upon a few listens you get used to it. Can't wait for you to get to Rudy and Crime of the Century. I think Bloody Well Right was most American's first taste of Supertramp.
Can't wait for you to listen to the next track. Hide in Your Shell. For me it is Supertramp's equivalent of Genesis's One for the Vine. Well not quite equivalent, but really really good.
I hope you keep going with the album. This song earns its place, like Industrial Disease in the middle of Dire Strait's Love Over Gold album, which should also be take as a whole. The next to tracks are my favorites of the album, or should I say the next two movements are my favorites of the composition?
Interesting you mention Pink Floyd with Supertramp, as David Gilmore (of Pink Floyd) does guitar in the song "Brother Where You Bound" from the "Brother Where You Bound" album.
although credit is shared on the albums, all of the Davies/Hodgson songs after the first album are actually individual songs they would demo out and bring in. Roger always sings lead on his own tunes, and so does Rick. In the original album sleeve, The 2 singers' parts were color coded in the printed lyrics.
Supertramp's best album, eight masterpieces lined up and ready to move you. Bloody Well Right: that, folks, is how you do an intro. Bits of rock/,blues/jazz here, good smart lyrics( feeling defiant? You should be). Excellence
love this song! I agree the intro is the best part and the rest of the song is great. Love the palate cleaner analogy, I use it all the time because it just makes sense. when I first heard this album this track and dreamer jumped out at me from the tracklisting as the "hits" that they played on the radio all the time, little did I know that every song on the album was of the same quality if not better!
This was another of those albums that everyone had when it came out on 1974.... Gosh, taking me back to my first year of marriage and our own flat.... on the turntable heavily at the time...
Excellent as usual JP! Please more SuperTramp. I'd agree, they are like a stepping stone to more complex prog rock, like Yes or Genesis. They use their pop sensibilities well. Songs I'd recommend by ST: Fool's Overture, Rudy, A Soapbox Opera, and The Meaning. Trust me JP, have I ever let you down?
Alright, alright, alright, alright. Should've played it with "School" as a two-fer but that's ok, what's done is done. lol As I said for "School" - not a bad song on this album. Another fine review. Cheers! Also: One of the best rhythm duos in pop/rock(?) (prog-pop?). Under appreciated. Also Also: Bloody Well Right is the counter point to School.
I was still at school when this first came out. My older brother bought this album and played it to death, so I can't help but love it. I think he particularly liked playing this track to my mum who was a bit offended by the lyric.
aww man I love that song!! I usually watch you're videos during lunch at work in my car so now gonna have to play this on spotify a couple of times make the work day cruise by quickly thanks JP. ;)
I’m very late to this but another good reaction, Justin. I like how in detail you go on these, how many different parts of the song you touch on and I like your honesty. I like how you’re able to say you don’t like something if you don’t. It’s crucial, I think, in a reaction channel that you are able to feel free to give the full spectrum of your response to a song. I don’t think that’s particularly common among reaction channels but I appreciate it. Glad you like the song, a good 90% of it. Thinking back on when I first heard it the part you mentioned not liking was not my favorite part either. But overall I did like it, as did you. I remember being surprised at how heavy it got as they started the verses, at least in the world of Supertramp.
JustJP i’ve noticed that, I appreciate it, and you do it well. Thank you. I want to delve into more of your reactions, there are a lot I haven’t heard yet.
HEYYYYYYYYYY!!! LMAO :) NIIIIICCCCEEE, YOU'RE CONTINUING WITH CRIME OF THE CENTURY, I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY IT, ( RUDY AND ASYLUM ARE REALLY GOOD, ALSO DREAMER YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ON THE RADIO, BIGGGG HIT )
Please next "The Logical Song" or "Rudy" by Super Tramp.. Really just about all of them are really very good. Funny how you said the name Super Tramp sort of made you avoid them. It did me as well back in 1973. The name lended itself to some smutty lyriced metal band. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. These guys songs were very thoughtful in both the music and lyrics. They turned out to be one of my favorites of the "Classic Rock" era. I was 14 back then, and now I'm 63, and still love them.
I love your connection to your audience while listening to any song Justin. It is a treat to see you react. And afterwards I so appreciate your detailed description of how you experienced it. Sometimes I wonder if you do any research beforehand. You are very often so to the point, even with the more difficult tracks say by Kate Bush. I think it is good if you do. It gives your reactions real depth. If you don 't do any research, then I just raise my hat!
Thanks JK! I rarely look up anything about a song beforehand, but sometimes for bigger/longer songs I'll listen to an interview or read about the concept behind the song, that way I can be absorbed in the song while also having some understanding of it
Some years later some people stole the name of this band and released "It's Raining Again" and "Breakfast in Fredonia" or something like that. Rick Beato listed the intro as No. 17 in his 20 greatest keyboard intros.
Breakfast In America was where I started to part ways with the band. There was already a level of tweeness creeping in on Even In The Quietest Moments. They definitely went in a more commercial, poppier direction. That said, Supertramps pop songs were still far superior to most, and there are a few songs in their later period that I quite like. And I actually really like Its Raining Again.
you said you like his singing in school , actually it was Roger Hodgson's voice in School with some Davies back up in parts of the song :) but Great Reaction please keep this Album going , hopefully "Hide in your Shell " and the Album Title song "Crime of the Century" ty :)
Song by song. This album is one of albums you listened to in its full only to move to the turn table for the side B knowing that it would end with Crime of the Century. A song that actually is better on some live shows as they stretched out the sax 🎷 solo... schhh don’t say any more, let JP discover Supertramp and this album song by song. Hide in Your Shell next. Not one bad song on this album I hope one day you’ll listen to Pink Floyd’s Final Cut even though most Floyd purist sees that album as a mediocre album, for me a masterpiece but agree that it is most a Waters album
Great song. Hopefully Rudy, Crime of the Century, If Everyone Was Listening, Asylum and Dreamer are next!! One of my favorite albums... Also, on Even in the Quietest Moments album, Fool's Overture and Even in the Quietest Moments are both great Roger Hodgsen songs.
FYI, Roger sang lead on "School"; Rick sings lead on this one. They usually alternated lead vocals throughout their albums. Roger sings lead again on the next track, "Hide in Your Shell" (along with "School," one of my 5 favorite songs of theirs). Next 'epic' song you should check out after "The Gates of Delirium": either Procol Harum's "In Held 'Twas in I" or ELP's "Tarkus." I'd also say King Crimson's "Lizard," but you may want to check out a few more of their earlier songs before diving into that one. Maybe also Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother"?
NOW THAT I RECALL AND IT'S BEEN A SMALL WHILE, I THINK RUDY IS THE 3RD TRACK! :) I LOVE IT JUSTIN, GR888 PROGGY ROCK BAND! I MEAN YOU CAN EASILYYYYY HEAR THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE 1ST THREE ALBUMS THAT I'VE MENTIONED AND THE MORE BUBBLEGUMMISH ( IS THAT A WORD ) I GUESS IT IS NOW. ( BREAKFAST IN AMERICA )
the entire album is a masterpiece
Dude I love your channel. It’s so unique. I can’t stand reactors who just stare at nothing for the entirety of what they’re listening to and are like “thanks for watching” at the end. You give your REAL opinion and defend it. You analyze the track and point out what is great. I just really appreciate the fact that you review tracks rather than react to them. Your channel is gonna be huge one day, keep up the good work.
Thank you so much for that Tommy! Just gotta let the music speak for itself :)
And unlike Doug Helvering-The Daily Doug-who talks all through the song. "There a B flat. Oh, now a D diminished, etc, etc. lol I still like him despite that, though gets a little tedious at times. - And Justin plays at a decent volume, & waits till the song is over before giving his analysis, which are thought-provoking & insightful.
Thanks for reacting to this........Very insightful. I have this on a thumbdrive with about 750 other songs on it. The other day my wife and 7 year old daughter were talking and my wife said something to her and said, "Right?" And Baby Girl said, "Yes mom right....You're bloody well right. You've got the bloody right to say." Right then I knew I was raising her right.
The song: Crime of the Century is a gem.
It certainly is these days....as The Crime Of The Century is happening right now.
@@mrbazzabee4013 Trump was the Crime Of The Century for sure.
A dark gem can be found in "If everyone was listening", arguably the lesser song of the album.
The whole CotC sessions were something: Supertramp doesn't create that much, but from these sessions, they wrote enough stuff for at least three albums, and in fact many songs of their nexts albums would be cuttoffs from this album.

I never missed a chance to go back after that. I think it's great that you're continuing on with Supertramp. Oh, and I suspect the name of the band is sounding better on your brain already?
Sounding better as we go🙃
Lucky enough to have seen Supertramp live 3 times, on the Quietest Moments, Breakfast In America, and Famous Last Words tours in LA while I was in Navy and living in San Diego. You have reviewed many of my favorite, formative bands of my youth (after the Beatles, in fact, the best band of the 20th Century), and I was OBSESSED with Prog Rock from age 14-30...Yes, Genesis, Supertramp, Rush, UK, Pink Floyd, David Gilmour, Chris Squire, Jethro Tull, Starcastle, Kansas, etc. You are reviewing some of the best music of the 20th Century and of All Time! I am relieving the music of my youth through your videos, which remind me of how my friends and I would talk about theses Groups and Albums. Great Channel.
You saw the "Quietest" tour?!!! Aaaaaaw maaaan.... I'm not woooooorthy!!!
Right there with ya buddy! I was too young for the Quiets tour, but caught the last two in Montreal. That show stopper on the final tour with the video screen and all the album covers and the scissors on the tightrope... what an amazing show.

Stay safe, be well.

P.S. If you'd like to hear a truly great song, and a good example of the Fender Rhodes piano, check out Roberta Flack's 'Killing Me Softly with His Song'. Still one of my all-time favorite songs.
Great recommendation!
"Angela's Song (Theme from Taxi)" by Bob James, and "James" by Billy Joel are very reminiscent of the Fender Rhodes to me.
REG DIXON RULES...The British King Of The Wurlitzer :)
This song was a massive hit in the US, my favorite song on this album is Asylum. Rick sings this song and Bloody Well Right
You got to love when you're in the middle of chores and YT brings you to something you missed. Thanks so much for all you do!
There are two singers. Roger Hodgson is the one who sang School (most of it), and has the much higher pitched voice. RICK Davies is the one who sounds like a soulful Kermit the Frog. Roger had the edge in singing the commercial hits, though Rick sang a number of them.

Yes! Hope Justin does "Hide in Your Shell" next.
When no one asks how my day is, I go to JP's channel & he hopes I'm having an amazing day :P
The MOST amazing day😃
Yes, the appreciation is truly appreciated lol
Time to get aboard the Supertramp,do not stop at the Logical Songs. Because Even In The Quietest Moments, every one is Bloody Well Right! And it would be the Crime Of The Century! Peace from CT.
Lol! I see what you did there
A few tracks more and you will reach "Rudy" - exceptional on a brilliant album.
He's on a train to nowhere.
@@adamkallin5160 He ain't sophisticated, nor well-educated.
But it's one of my faves.
But he needs time...
My favorite Supertramp song, you think AND feel, their trademark
Excellent point. For most, including my younger self, prog rock is a lot to digest when you are first exposed to it. Supertramp is a good entry point introduction to the genre.
Keep on truckin' with all of this album's tracks. The whole thing together is a Masterpiece.
This song is So Good and Catchy right from the first note on the electric piano and is soo cool Ricks Voice suits this song so well. This album is amazing I know you’ll like every song on here
Yes !! This one & Dreamer best represents Supertramp's sound, IMO.
Very, very good. Any song on this album is excellent! RUDY stands out on an outstanding album
great mate! Now I guess it's time for the title track of this album ;)
Great choice. Supertramp has a fantastic sound. My home town Winnipeg was one of the first North American markets to embrace this band.
I enjoyed your reaction, and listening to the song again. Hoping you continue the rest of the album, it's all good.
Entry Level Prog! You nailed it again... that's Supertramp. This track was never a favourite of mine, but listening again, after all these decades, that's a phat sound they had there!

It only took 46 years to like the bloody well right part so in 2066 you’ll love it.
Take care all, be sensibly safe please,
Peace and Music, bloody well right!
You just barely got away with that one😅 ty
Glad you're continuing with this album - the whole thing is really, really good. Hide in your Shell, the next song, is one of my all-time favourites.
Just blissing out here with you and Supertramp.
Life doesn't get much better.
A bloody well GREAT album from start to finish.
Ahhh, Junior High all over again. Even though a hard song to dance to, this song was the highlight of our school dances until the following year when "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth came out.

one of the most beautifully mixed albums ever.. every instrument sits right where it needs to be clear tough tight and cool.
Another song with a great electric piano intro is "Eat That Question" from Frank Zappa's 1972 Grand Wazoo album. The first 3 min. feature keyboard player George Duke; a key member of that particular Zappa band configuration.
That makes sense -Eat the Question starts with an arpeggio type rolling of the keys - the same as in Bloody Well Right.

Awesome album all the way through!
What a great song from the Great Supertramp ☝️❤️
Yesssss, Justin. Great album! One of my “desert island” albums. Check out Rudy and the title track. Very moody.
LOVE that Intro!! This is one of those albums you play regularly to get back to the good stuff.
Thank you for sharing I never heard this song before. I know of the band but I never had the time to listen to them.
Another fine reaction, you can't go far wrong with Supertramp.
Hi, really enjoyed your post. Groovy backdrop too. Your comments on the tune were right on. Thank you. Yuma,AZ.
Great review as always, you're going to love the rest of the album as well. Yes, "School" is the best track on the album, but the album as a whole is a great listen.

Ty so much Beavadelic! I appreciate you watching 😃
I'm enjoying this album.. This sounds great tbh.. The humour and sound makes me think of 10cc!! ♥️
Thanks Justin 😊
Supertramp was ahead of their time in the cynical, socially progressive type of mentality. Their lyrics fit the late 70s/80s times with the huge generation gap between WWII parents and the Vietnam generation kids.
Supertramp always had good easy listening rock tunes. Enjoyed by all.
I'm glad you're checking out some Supertramp! Man, I love these reaction videos, mainly because it's incentive for me to listen to a lot of the music from my high school days! 😁 Keep goin', Dude!
Glad you're enjoying it cannon! Ty
Supertramp has the Best Intro's i've ever heard of any band, Check out all thier songs , all great intros!

Haha thank you Ian! Glad you're enjoying this :D
Saying the intro is the best part of the song is not a dis as it would be with many songs cos this is one of the best intro's ever in any song.
This song does have an awesome introduction.
Completely agree!
Such a great song and the opening electric piano is just so cool. Definitely explore this album some more, lots of great stuff to hear.
Hey Justin, spot on .. hard for me to prefer one over the other (School or Bloody Well Right), Rick Davies voice in the chorus isn't his strongest, but upon a few listens you get used to it. Can't wait for you to get to Rudy and Crime of the Century. I think Bloody Well Right was most American's first taste of Supertramp.
Love that you're getting into Supertramp! If you continue, great stuff lies ahead.
Also, cleansett paller killed me.
Lol! Ty Hammond :D
Can't wait for you to listen to the next track. Hide in Your Shell. For me it is Supertramp's equivalent of Genesis's One for the Vine. Well not quite equivalent, but really really good.
Although I don’t own this album, I am familiar with the songs. The title track is a gem 😁
Appreciate you’re honestly JP
Thank you Cedric :)
I hope you keep going with the album. This song earns its place, like Industrial Disease in the middle of Dire Strait's Love Over Gold album, which should also be take as a whole. The next to tracks are my favorites of the album, or should I say the next two movements are my favorites of the composition?
Omg! Thank you thank you thank you for not pausing a zillion times, I was able to groove to the song because of that. Subscribed 👍🏾
No problem Cat, ty so much for watching!
Interesting you mention Pink Floyd with Supertramp, as David Gilmore (of Pink Floyd) does guitar in the song "Brother Where You Bound" from the "Brother Where You Bound" album.
This is an awesome song I love the groove in the beginning of the song.
although credit is shared on the albums, all of the Davies/Hodgson songs after the first album are actually individual songs they would demo out and bring in. Roger always sings lead on his own tunes, and so does Rick. In the original album sleeve, The 2 singers' parts were color coded in the printed lyrics.
A radio favorite back in the day.
Supertramp's best album, eight masterpieces lined up and ready to move you.
Bloody Well Right: that, folks, is how you do an intro. Bits of rock/,blues/jazz here, good smart lyrics( feeling defiant? You should be). Excellence
My favorite ST album. Many great songs on this album.
love this song! I agree the intro is the best part and the rest of the song is great. Love the palate cleaner analogy, I use it all the time because it just makes sense. when I first heard this album this track and dreamer jumped out at me from the tracklisting as the "hits" that they played on the radio all the time, little did I know that every song on the album was of the same quality if not better!
This song was my introduction to Supertramp. I thought it was amazing from my first listen. I had to get me some more. And I did. 😎 Keep going.
Hey Justin I’m just getting into this album myself and I love the whole album. But the beginning of the song begins with the best groove.
This was another of those albums that everyone had when it came out on 1974.... Gosh, taking me back to my first year of marriage and our own flat.... on the turntable heavily at the time...
Yeah....this takes me back.
Great tune! Has a "Monty Python feel" ;)
Yippee!! One of my favorites!!!
Excellent as usual JP! Please more SuperTramp. I'd agree, they are like a stepping stone to more complex prog rock, like Yes or Genesis. They use their pop sensibilities well. Songs I'd recommend by ST: Fool's Overture, Rudy, A Soapbox Opera, and The Meaning. Trust me JP, have I ever let you down?
Ty Green! Never :D
Such an amazingly great intro!
Great band and this album is a masterpiece.
Great stuff bro ☝️ Please do more Supertramp reactions ☝️
For sure
This is a fun one, definitely is one of the highlights to this album
Alright, alright, alright, alright. Should've played it with "School" as a two-fer but that's ok, what's done is done. lol As I said for "School" - not a bad song on this album. Another fine review. Cheers!
Also: One of the best rhythm duos in pop/rock(?) (prog-pop?). Under appreciated.
Also Also: Bloody Well Right is the counter point to School.
I was still at school when this first came out. My older brother bought this album and played it to death, so I can't help but love it. I think he particularly liked playing this track to my mum who was a bit offended by the lyric.
aww man I love that song!!
I usually watch you're videos during lunch at work in my car so now gonna have to play this on spotify a couple of times make the work day cruise by quickly
thanks JP. ;)
Haha thank you! Have a great day today Gary!
I’m very late to this but another good reaction, Justin. I like how in detail you go on these, how many different parts of the song you touch on and I like your honesty. I like how you’re able to say you don’t like something if you don’t. It’s crucial, I think, in a reaction channel that you are able to feel free to give the full spectrum of your response to a song. I don’t think that’s particularly common among reaction channels but I appreciate it. Glad you like the song, a good 90% of it. Thinking back on when I first heard it the part you mentioned not liking was not my favorite part either. But overall I did like it, as did you. I remember being surprised at how heavy it got as they started the verses, at least in the world of Supertramp.
Thank you so much Michael, I appreciate you saying that. I may not always like something, but I'll always strive to understand and be respectful
JustJP i’ve noticed that, I appreciate it, and you do it well. Thank you. I want to delve into more of your reactions, there are a lot I haven’t heard yet.
@@mickeyhank thank you, hope you enjoy them! Have a great weekend as well🙂
JustJP Thanks JP, and the same to you!
HEYYYYYYYYYY!!! LMAO :) NIIIIICCCCEEE, YOU'RE CONTINUING WITH CRIME OF THE CENTURY, I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY IT, ( RUDY AND ASYLUM ARE REALLY GOOD, ALSO DREAMER YOU MAY HAVE HEARD ON THE RADIO, BIGGGG HIT )
Crime of the Century is such a great album!
One of my Favorite Supertramp songs is 'Hide In Your Shell'.
Please next "The Logical Song" or "Rudy" by Super Tramp.. Really just about all of them are really very good. Funny how you said the name Super Tramp sort of made you avoid them. It did me as well back in 1973. The name lended itself to some smutty lyriced metal band. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. These guys songs were very thoughtful in both the music and lyrics. They turned out to be one of my favorites of the "Classic Rock" era. I was 14 back then, and now I'm 63, and still love them.
I love your connection to your audience while listening to any song Justin. It is a treat to see you react. And afterwards I so appreciate your detailed description of how you experienced it. Sometimes I wonder if you do any research beforehand. You are very often so to the point, even with the more difficult tracks say by Kate Bush. I think it is good if you do. It gives your reactions real depth. If you don 't do any research, then I just raise my hat!
Thanks JK! I rarely look up anything about a song beforehand, but sometimes for bigger/longer songs I'll listen to an interview or read about the concept behind the song, that way I can be absorbed in the song while also having some understanding of it
Supertramp: silly name great music (you can't beat a good melody).
Some years later some people stole the name of this band and released "It's Raining Again" and "Breakfast in Fredonia" or something like that. Rick Beato listed the intro as No. 17 in his 20 greatest keyboard intros.
Breakfast In America was where I started to part ways with the band. There was already a level of tweeness creeping in on Even In The Quietest Moments. They definitely went in a more commercial, poppier direction. That said, Supertramps pop songs were still far superior to most, and there are a few songs in their later period that I quite like. And I actually really like Its Raining Again.
If you like Supertramp then Fools Overture is a must!!! In fact the whole Even in the quietest moment album is superb
you said you like his singing in school , actually it was Roger Hodgson's voice in School with some Davies back up in parts of the song :) but Great Reaction please keep this Album going , hopefully "Hide in your Shell " and the Album Title song "Crime of the Century" ty :)
Ty for clarifying Dan😄
@@JustJP yvw Justin love your articulate reactions
Song by song. This album is one of albums you listened to in its full only to move to the turn table for the side B knowing that it would end with Crime of the Century. A song that actually is better on some live shows as they stretched out the sax 🎷 solo... schhh don’t say any more, let JP discover Supertramp and this album song by song. Hide in Your Shell next. Not one bad song on this album
I hope one day you’ll listen to Pink Floyd’s Final Cut even though most Floyd purist sees that album as a mediocre album, for me a masterpiece but agree that it is most a Waters album
I've heard this album so many times I can damn near sing it backwards.
This is a top ten all time album imo.
Great song. Hopefully Rudy, Crime of the Century, If Everyone Was Listening, Asylum and Dreamer are next!! One of my favorite albums...
Also, on Even in the Quietest Moments album, Fool's Overture and Even in the Quietest Moments are both great Roger Hodgsen songs.
Great 'feel' to this tune.
First song of theirs I heard, it's a classic.
Agree the intro is awesome, I have to air drum that part :)
This song is great band super tramp is good band
FYI, Roger sang lead on "School"; Rick sings lead on this one. They usually alternated lead vocals throughout their albums. Roger sings lead again on the next track, "Hide in Your Shell" (along with "School," one of my 5 favorite songs of theirs).
Next 'epic' song you should check out after "The Gates of Delirium": either Procol Harum's "In Held 'Twas in I" or ELP's "Tarkus." I'd also say King Crimson's "Lizard," but you may want to check out a few more of their earlier songs before diving into that one. Maybe also Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother"?
Ahhh gotcha gotcha. Thanks for that Joy
Strong song choices
NOW THAT I RECALL AND IT'S BEEN A SMALL WHILE, I THINK RUDY IS THE 3RD TRACK! :) I LOVE IT JUSTIN, GR888 PROGGY ROCK BAND! I MEAN YOU CAN EASILYYYYY HEAR THE DIFFERENCE WITH THE 1ST THREE ALBUMS THAT I'VE MENTIONED AND THE MORE BUBBLEGUMMISH ( IS THAT A WORD ) I GUESS IT IS NOW. ( BREAKFAST IN AMERICA )
