Análisis (en inglés) - :
Considering their career spanned close to 30 years, it's amazing how condensed most people's vision of {$Supertramp} has become. Or maybe not. Few listeners, after all, would disagree that their prime period encompassed the mere six or so years that divided {^Crime of the Century} (their third album) from {^Breakfast in America} (their sixth), and that the pile of vinyl on either side of that is more or less padding. Certainly {^Retrospectacle} has no problem with that scenario. A completist's eye for affairs does permit the first two albums to enjoy a quick look-in, with one song apiece; and similar treatment is meted out to the seven albums that took the band through the '80s and beyond. The meat of the moment, however, arrives with {&"Land Ho,"} the first vinyl manifestation of the so-called "classic" 'tramp lineup, and a lost 45 from early 1974. And, from thereon in, it's all plain sailing -- five songs from {^Crime of the Century}, four apiece from {^Crisis? What Crisis} and {^Even in the Quietest Moments. . .}, and a whopping six from {^Breakfast in America}, all selected to depict the band at the peak of its creative and musical powers -- the haunted harp that opens {&"School,"} the staccato percussion that powers {&"Lady,"} the lurid harmonies of {&"From Now On,"} and on to the sheer illogical madness of {&"The Logical Song"} -- in fact, the only weakness here is the substitution of a live {&"You Started Laughing"} for the vastly superior studio B-side. That aside, though, {^Retrospectacle} tells its story with as much panache as the best of {$Supertramp} could ever demand. ~ Dave Thompson, All Music Guide
