Album Notes & Community Reviews

Supertramp achieved absolute global ubiquity with this impeccably crafted, highly melodic masterclass in sophisticated pop-rock. Driven by Roger Hodgson's unmistakable Wurlitzer electric piano and deeply introspective, bittersweet songwriting, 'Breakfast in America' beautifully balances incredibly lush, radio-friendly hooks with wonderfully quirky progressive rock flourishes.
