Supertramps debut is marked by a continuous melancholy mood that the Album gives a very distinctive atmosphere. After the brief prelude "Surely" comes the slightly bluesy "It's a Long Road" with gentle guitar, beautiful organ, Hodgson typical falsetto-singing and the midsection even Rick Davies' (still on this board acting not as a singer) characteristic harmonica. "Aubade", a soft organ solo goes, seamlessly into the very melancholy "And I am not like other Birds of Prey". Stands Again again the moody organ forth. Similarly, the following "Words Unspoken" up, but in a slightly faster pace. "Maybe I'm a Beggar" will of the Sounds of harmonics introduced (a type of recorder). The again very melancholic Basic tenor of this piece is in the middle part of a sudden (relatively) hard electric guitars breached. Sexy in this song is the antiphon of Hodgson and guitarist Richard Palmer (who later became King Crimson lyricist Richard Palmer-James). With "Home Again" is once again a mini-song, it comes with "Nothing to show" a radical Change of mood. Hard guitar riffs lead the song a, which is much fast-paced than the Rest of the album. With the piano-dominated "Shadow Song" then returns the melancholy mood back. "Try again" is from the standpoint of the prog listener's certainly the most interesting song this Album. It starts with seemingly randomly thrown Harmonics and a barely audible Organ. Slowly a melody crystallized out, the song begins, and the song seems initially not much different from the other songs here. After the first third of the song then sets a longer organ-guitar-jam a, is gaining momentum with the time Guitar occurs increasingly apparent and eventually gains the dominant position until the piece again returns to its basic melody. Once again come verse and chorus, then the song seems to suddenly stop. On the background but you can still hear quiet Organ swab, and then a little bizarre comes with totally free sounds of guitar and Drums. Slowly, then again the melody builds on, and the last time coming the chorus of the song. Finally once the initial "surely" is added and a song normal length elaborated. Overall, this is in addition to "Crime of the Century" the best Supertramp album, and my Opinion, even a bit better than this. Just because "Try again" well worth the Purchase.
