Description:
While there had been McCartney-esque pop elements in Supertramp's accessible brand of art-rock from the beginning, Even In The Quietest Moments represents a definitive shift from proggier tendencies towards a more commercial approach. Coming as it did before the band's major commercial breakthrough, Breakfast In America, it foreshadows that album's straightforward pop-rock approach, while still retaining a touch of the early artiness. While "Fool's Overture" has a bit of the weightiness one ordinarily associates with 1970s prog, the fragile, contemplative title track and "From Now On" betray a fondness for the softer side of '60s Britpop. "Give a Little Bit," which would become one of Supertramp's signature songs, is a sunny, acoustic-guitar-driven tune that would sound at home alongside almost any '70s Los Angeles folk-rock act. The band's big crossover was just around the corner, but all the earmarks of their breakout can be heard here.
