Customer Reviews of Free As a Bird
Not a bad Supertramp album but better than today's muzak Supertramp's last album for A&M and for ten years called Free as a Bird was released in Ocotober of 1987. The album was not well received at the time of its release seeing that Americans were into fluff like Michael Jackson, Poison, Cinderella, Eurpoe and the rest of that cheesy hair metal fluff. This album is very good. I admit that it was strange on first listen but with the benefit of hindsight, the album is very good. The title cut is a great ballad and the video was superb(I saw it on VH1 Classic) and was the reason I rebought this album. I'm Begging You is a great song as well. The video for that track was groundbreaking yet MTV ignored it but can now be appreciated on the Supertramp DVD The Story So Far. Other great songs on this album are It Doesn't Matter and An Awful Thing to Waste. Rick Davies' vocals and keyboards shone on this album as did John Helliwell's sax, Bob Siebenberg's drums and departing bassist Dougie Thomson whom would not rejoin in 1996 and left because he was outraged that Rick broke his word that none of Roger Hodgson's songs would be played live and Dougie was ashamed of playing Roger's classics without Roger. Speaking of Roger, his replacement Mark Hart made his debut on this album playing guitars and keyboards and shares vocals with Rick on two tracks(Where I Stand and the end of the title track). This album is finally available again as A&M reissued this album two years ago and is an underrated gem that is recommended!
Well, it could have been worse...
This is my least favorite 'Tramp CD, and with good reason. 'It's Alright' always sticks in my mind for some reason, but the lyrics are just plain crap (which is why I really hate this album, the lyrics just suck). The music is something I can live with, but the lyrics, and I can't stress this enough, are just plain terrible. Well, this CD is redeemed by the title track and 'An Awful Thing to Waste', which are two really good tracks, though they don't even begin to make the CD any better. Other tracks that always sticks in my mind is 'I'm Beggin' You' and 'Where I Stand', which has a highlight of being co-written by Mark Hart. That's the thing about this 'Tramp album: the lyrics suck, but the music is catchy. But, just think, it could have been worse...
By the way, if your interested in how corny the lyrics are, here's one "But now I'm so down low/Like some downtrodden hobo". Hobo? That's the first time I've ever heard that word in any song...Oh man, what happened, Rick?
Overall not bad
