Supertramp - Goodbye Stranger | REACTION

[@imaflei]

The outro to this song is criminally underrated.

[@droog28]

No doubt! Once that funky wah-wah solo kicks in, I almost wanna cry.

[@Zizie_sc]

The man/band himself is/are criminally underrated

[@stringemup5941]

Fading that guitar solo out just when he really ratchets it up and gives it hell is an unforgivable musical sin!

Breakfast in America is one of those rare albums where seemingly every song is a hit.

[@josephschultz3301]

It's just a damn good album. I love every track. "Just Another Nervous Wreck" is my favorite, but dammit, every song on it deserves a listen or twenty. They hit the nail on the head and put the hammer straight through the wood.

[@larryfried7742]

Yep.Exceptional mixing and mastering...GREAT DYNAMICS and Range in the recording. Still stands the test of time...no problem.

[@kentnottingham9635]

All of Supertramp’s albums were well produced and balanced but I have to agree, this was a production for the ages no doubt!

[@stevemurrell6167]

As well produced as it is, it's not their best album though. Crime and Quietest Moments are their best.....BIA is good but not a patch on the two aforementioned albums. I would add that the Brother Where You Bound album is actually, IMO, their best produced album. Superb SQ!
