The project started out as a concept piece about the contrasting outlooks of Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson before loosening into a run of brighter, sharper pop songs. Plenty of listeners heard it as a sly portrait of America, though the band have said that was never the plan. It went on to spend six weeks at the top of the US album chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe two songwriters split the spoils between them, and both are on top form. Hodgson brings The Logical Song, driven by a bouncing Wurlitzer electric piano and his unmistakable high tenor, as well as the wistful Take the Long Way Home. Davies counters with Goodbye Stranger, all falsetto hooks and easy-rolling groove. John Helliwell's woodwinds add color and wit across the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen there is that cover: a diner waitress posed as the Statue of Liberty, orange juice raised high, in front of a Manhattan skyline built from kitchen supplies. It is witty and immaculately made, which describes the music just as well.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67763318554914,"sku":"602475456254","price":23.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1020\/2080\/8994\/files\/Supertramp-Breakfast_in_America_Half-Speed_Master.jpg?v=1794323494","url":"https:\/\/soulfulvinyl.com\/products\/supertramp-breakfast-in-america-half-speed-master","provider":"Soulful Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
