5 out of 5 stars Superlative Supertramp.......2007-01-08

Ironically, the mass-market popularity of Supertramp rests on a the hummable hooks of its middle-period albums. Thus, I can only guess that the many criticisms of this particular album come from fans to whom "Logical Song" seems the pinnacle of musical achievement. Too bad for them... they're missing out on some of the best work of this band's career. This is most certainly a Supertramp album to rival (and in some ways, exceed) the best output of their halcyon days.

Yes, gone are the trite little singles of Breakfast in America. Instead, the band expands its reach, weaving a lavish musical tapestry of many scintillating instrumental threads. There's an echo here of the beautiful studio jamming of Supertramp's vastly under-rated first album. Some reviewers (All-Music Guide, shame on you) have taken this as a sign that Supertramp 'can no longer create catchy little songs.' Hey, maybe they've simply evolved beyond that sort of silliness. The tracks on Some Things Never Change sound at once familiar, yet fresh and new. But where earlier works tended to stop short, these go on, achieving their jazzy, mesmerizing potential in a full five, six, or nine minutes.

Bands move on; if you trust their vision, then you have no choice but to follow where they lead. The reward is discovering unexpected gems like this one.

5 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT.......2006-05-19

Yes, we miss Roger Hodgson, BUT Rick Davies not only sang more than 'Bloody Well Right' in past years, but has put together a jazzy and sophisticated album, that perhaps is more like Steely Dan than Supertramp's more pop tunes under Hodgson, but once again, this is classy musical workings....great stuff, and for anyone who ever saw this performed live, like I did when the album was first released, all I can say is WOW! Great concert. So, for those die-hard fans afraid of change, I say, let go of the past and listen with an open mind and ear, and it will impress the heck out of you. Enjoy!

1 out of 5 stars 1.5 stars- Kind of a lame effort.......2006-05-18

This albums like Sominex, It will definitely put you to sleep. They need to have another vocalist to sing some of the songs so Rick Davies doesn't have to sing on every song. The songs on here are not up tempo enough and are kind of lazy and jazzy and just pretty boring stuff. It would be great if Roger Hodgson would return because they could really use him these days. They have a couple of really long songs of which one is over 9 minutes in length and the other is over 8 minutes, and that's getting pretty long for Supertramp songs. Just stick with all of Supertramps albums from the 70's because they blow the 80's and 90's stuff out of the water.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent!!.......2006-02-23

After reading some of the reviews here, I was kinda bracing me when I put the cd on. I listened to it in a single run..., and again..., and again...

It is an awesome album. This must surely be one of their quality wise most consistent albums!
Indeed, this is a (re)new(ed) Supertramp... and what an improvement at that! If someone would have said this is a new group I'd have said it is a crossover between Steely Dan and Supertramp.

A recipe for high quality, terrific sounding music, if you ask me.
