Album Notes & Community Reviews

Returning to the recording studio after an extended hiatus, the former Supertramp co-founder delivers a highly nostalgic, meticulously crafted solo album. 'Open the Door' explicitly recalls the grandiose, piano-driven progressive pop that defined his primary band's peak commercial years, featuring elaborate symphonic arrangements and his signature, high-register vocal delivery. The critically praised record was warmly embraced as a long-awaited return to form.
