3 stars There's nothing brilliant here. Not much intensity. This is a mostly softened Supertramp, pleasant enough, but a disappointment after Crime of the Century. The good news is that Supertramp followed this with two stellar albums.

Crisis isn't a bad album. But it doesn't aspire to what makes Supertramp so good. Supertramp fans yearning for more of the sound will find some of that here--the basic elements are all present, harmonica and all, but the songwriting isn't nearly is strong. No doubt part of that is because there was only one year between their last album and this one-- less time than they usually had to write songs. Reportedly much of this album is leftover songs from their previous albums. Favorite song is "The Meaning." More energetic than the rest of the album.

Recommended for Supertramp fans, assuming they already have Supertramp's better albums. 3.5 stars.
