Crime Of The Century is Supertramp’s third album, originally released in September 1974 and produced by Ken Scott and Supertramp.

It was the band’s commercial breakthrough in both the U.S. and the U.K., helped by the U.K. hit “Dreamer” and the U.S. hit “Bloody Well Right.” It reached the top 10 album charts in the UK and was a top 40 album in the US, where it went gold in 1977. In Canada, it stayed on the charts for over two years and sold over a million copies.

The album received critical acclaim, including inclusion in Rolling Stone’s “50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums of All Time.” Crime of the Century deals loosely with themes of loneliness and mental stability, but is not a concept album. Davies deliberately linked the opening track “School” to “Bloody Well Right” with the line “So you think your schooling is phoney,” and according to Hodgson, any tie-in beyond that was left to the listener’s imagination.
