So good to hear this again. A good follow up to The gem Crime of the Century. Very good songs. Wasn’t well received when it came out. But I can’t stop playing this. Excellent musicianship.

A very good album which is just a touch below the creative standards of "Crime of the Century". It seems to lack some of the power of that album, but ironically also sounds more mature. The writing is still of a very high standard, and there are no weak tracks. The sound is actually very similar to the proceeding album in it's arrangements, with plenty of the band's trademark electric / grand piano , but there is now the welcome element of 12 string acoustic guitars which appear on many of the tracks, particularly "Sister Moonshine" reminding me of their later hit "Give a little bit". A Sitar also makes an appearance on a couple of occasions. There are two rockers ("Ain't nobody but me" and "Another man's woman") both penned by Rick Davies, Roger Hodgson appearing to be responsible for the more introspective tracks this time round. Two highlights he contributes are "Lady" (classic Roger Wurlitzer moment), and "The Meaning" (possible the best track on the album). There are also a couple of really beautiful wind solos from Helliwell on "Poor Boy" and "Just a normal day" - I think this is the best work he ever did for the band, which is saying a lot as he rarely disappoints. If you like Supertramp this is essential, if you like mild Prog / pop and 70's bands like 10cc or Steely Dan you should enjoy this too.Read full review
