Underrated album: Sonics AND Music

@sammmmmmy  - I listened to "To the Hilt" again last night via Spotify. I really enjoyed it. I think I'll look for a nice copy on vinyl.

@sammmmmmy  - I've never hear "To the Hilt" before. Took a listen. I like it! Do you hear a little bit of The Who in a couple of the tracks?

@slaw - I don't recall ever hearing a cut off of "Brother Where You Bound" on any pop radio station. Maybe on a deep cut album rock station. Regardless, I rarely ever hear "Brother Where You Bound" mentioned, and certainly not as much as "Breakfast in America" (which I did not like), "Even in the Quietest Moment" or "Crime of the Century". I think it was WAY underrated. For me, it's their best and doesn't get the critical acclaim it deserves. It also has excellent sound quality.

Curious, do you have it on vinyl? Have you hear the U.K 12" Direct to Disk single of "Brother Where You Bound"? It's really good......

BTW, I have Roger Hodgson's "Eye of the Storm". I heard "Had a Dream" on the radio when it was originally released and immediately bought it. Not a bad record, but I don't love Hodgson's voice. That's part of the reason why I love "Brother Where You Bound" which is Supertramp sans Hodgson.

Happy weekend!

I have 2 albums that I love, that were not very popular or well know, but sound fantastic and contain excellent music in their genre. Here you go:

dada - "Puzzle" - an excellent pop/rock album with great pop/rock songs, excellent musicianship and great sound quality. One of my top 10 favorites for both music and sound quality.

Supertramp - "Brother Where You Bound" - IMHO, Supertramp's best by a good margin. Very cohesive album with great songs, great musicianship and fantastic sound quality. Plays almost like an epic theme album (although I don't think it is). One of my top 10 favorites for both music and sound quality.
