This is my first 'Doug's Choice' for an EPL episode in a while. But, it comes after we've just started implementing our recommendations portal on the discord. And, this album was highly supported by the community...and Supertramp is a band I'm not very familiar with. So, join me for a full album listen. I quite enjoyed it!

Its driving me nuts when he start talking about the lyrics, especially on the second half of Crime... dude just listen to the music you are missing out on so much stuff ^^

I think Supertramp is kind of like Rush, kind of a "boutique" band. Not for everyone but perhaps in the second tier of great bands behind Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, etc. One might argue that Rush is in that top tier but when they were first emerging they were more of a cult following band than a mainstream band. But for those people who like them, they can be one of their extreme favorites. (I really really like both Supertramp and Rush.)

Hide in Your Shell: The introvert's anthem.

Paul Halicki

Hide in Your Shell to me sounds like someone who's never had a true friend but finds their soul mate- "If I can help you, let me know..." "I want to know you...." This is the beginning of a romance. Yes, vulnerable! When you first open up and show your soul to someone, with the hope they'll accept you.

Paul Halicki

I enjoy your attempt at understanding the meaning of the lyrics. You bring out things I never noticed, listening to this since it first came out.

Paul Halicki

Asylum: The more the narrator asserts they are not insane, the crazier he sounds.

Paul Halicki

Further listening: Roger Hodgson's Magnum Opus, from the album Even in the Quietest Moments. It was written for orchestra but recorded by the band with what they had. The best way to listen to it is with the full orchestra: Fool's Overture https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBefDWSMNaQ (Maybe you've already done a reaction video to it; I can't recall.)

"Rudy felt that all good things come to those who wait." As a teenager, this was a key line in the album. As a teen I was more of a spectator than a doer, and hoping that eventually those good things would come to me. It was a wistful longing for life to begin. This album touches on that theme a lot and it resonated with teen me. And now, after the years have past I can remember exactly what teen me was like. Life has worked out fine so far, but when Crime of the Century was new to me I was afraid that it never would. I think this album captures that uncertainty and longing of early adulthood.

Paul Halicki

Rudy wants to be normal but just doesn't fit in.

Paul Halicki

Crime of the Century is nowhere near the strongest song of the album. It's good but the first few on side one are much better imo.

Paul Halicki

"Expertly crafted album." Oh hell yes.

Bill Coonley

The electric piano on most of these tracks is a Wurlitzer. Supertramp used the Wurly a lot.
