Beautifully put! I agree with you completely... one of the best 80's albums released by any band that had its roots in the 70's!!

Indeed.

Crest of Knave, ELPowell are far behind, though they're OK (at best)
Discipline is not the 70's Crimson and Floyd's two albums are more solo albums (one by Roger, which is OK, and David's is awful) than anything else.

Let's not even mention CensoredYes or AngryCamel


.

Brother isn't 70's Supertramp either (no Roger Hodgson) so could be considered a Rick Davies solo album. I much prefer Hodgson's solo album In The Eye Of The Storm that came out in 1984 and actually sounds to me more like a Supertamp album than RD's offering.

I like Eye Of The Storm, but it's whiny, IMHO. It sounds like Roger is ailing (unease and sores seeps though every pore) and misses being in the band already (not that I think he ever was, since he left), while Brother goes on without Roger and don't (seem to) miss him for one bit. I think Brother is a whole lot more Supertramp than AMLOR is Floyd.

However the next albums (Bird and Haļ) would suck big times.

I wouldn't dismiss the other three members' participations in the band's song credits *, and apparently a fair bit of Brother was already written by the time Roger exited the band. Someone even said that Roger didn't want those tracks to appear on FLW, but that remains unconfirmed. 


*: As we've seen very recently, the three (Siebenberg/Thompson/Helliwell) sue Hodgson for unpaid royalties contractual retrocessions since 2015 (which Davies had also stopped in 2019, but this was settled out of court). Roger won, but maybe appeal will be cast.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
