Un gran disco de Art Rock, casi todas las canciones aquí son memorables, los teclados son tan distintivos y la voz tan icónica, además tiene 3 de las mejores canciones de Supertramp, como son The Logical Song, Breakfast In America y Goodbye Stranger, canciones que cualquiera conoce porque han sido tocadas en radio desde hace mas de 40 años. Disco clásico.

This is a perfect album: from the front cover to melodies, from the production to musicians. A perfect 10 and a strong position in the best 100 ever.

Shortlisted for album of the year at the Grammys in 1980. The winner that year was 52nd Street by Billy Joel. This album is the one from the shortlist that should have won

A great album, filled with hit songs and memorable tracks. 9.5/10!

Once in a while I come across a classic album that I hadn't given much thought to on my initial listen but I end up revisiting and it really opens up to me. That is Breakfast in America. The first half of the album is some of the best music of it's era and it ends with a bang.

"The Logical Song" might be the best Supertramp song of Hodgson's career and the bass line in the outro will live rent free in my head. One of those truly perfect songs measure by measure, piece by piece in the arrangement and composition. Not to even talk about that saxophone.

They really cranked out the hit singles on this one. Gone Hollywood and Child of Vision are also fantastic. Probably my favorite record of 1979.

great record

Probably my favorite Supertramp album, great lyrics and catchy tunes.

A more accessible release by Supertramp but it still has a lot of quality to sink your teeth into. It kicks off brilliantly with one of the lesser appreciated songs of Gone Hollywood. The quality is then continued into track 2 which is one of the most irresistible songs they have ever put out in the form of The Logical Song. Both of these cuts demonstrate the peak of what I think is the highlight of this record which is the saxophone. Some of the solos we are treated to on the sax is just phenomenal and it is consistent the whole way through. This is also true about the style which is maintained and every song is at least decent. Another thing I love about this record is the keyboard playing which when combined with the other diverse instrumentation creates a wonderful blend of prog and pop. It is the keyboard that stands out for me though and it is what makes the blend really work. However, the record does get a little weak and slow near the end and I do think it could be cut down by 10 or 15 minutes. Overall, a great record with brilliant performances and it is well worth checking out.
