IN THE EYE OF THE STORM

After Roger Hodgson left Supertramp in 1983, he recorded his own solo album, "In The Eye of The Storm", which was in the same way as Supertramp's "...famous last words..." album from 1982. You can clearly hear here that this album is very Supertramp-ish, only darker and more moodier. "Had a Dream" is a great opener with some really good twsts in it and "In Jeopardy" is very catchy and is difficult to forget, but the real apex of the album is the wonderful epic closer, "Only Because of You", an epic, moody and downright beautiful closer to this album. Among my favorite "Supertramp" tracks indeed! Well, the rest of the album is also good, but could have been a bit better too.

Supertramp fans should check this one out, definetly! It's not to be missed. Otherwise, stay away until you have heard some of Supertramp's work. Me personally give this album a solid 4 stars since im a Supertramp fan, AND because I found this album really enjoyable and absoultely essential for Hodgson fans!
