Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Not all albums stand the test of time, but plenty do and Australian music critic Stevie Nix will bring one to you each week. He'll cover all eras and most genres and tell you why each record is so revered and, equally, why it deserves to be. And he only uses six songs to do it.
Classic Albums. Hosted by Stevie Nix
Crime Of The Century by Supertramp
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What elevates Crime of the Century above a merely well-crafted album is the emotional honesty at its core. Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson were writing from real places — about alienation and thwarted dreams, about the gap between what life promises and what it delivers, about the quiet desperation of people trying to hold themselves together. These are not fashionable themes or calculated gestures toward profundity. They feel genuine, which is why they still resonate with anyone who has ever felt out of step with the world around them.
