''Crime of the Century'' is the third album by British rock band Music/{{Supertramp}}, released in 13 September 1974 through Creator/AAndMRecords. After the failure of their first two albums, Supertramp broke up, with Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson seeking new members as they record for the first half of 1974. The resulting album was a resounding commercial and critical breakthrough for the band, reaching the top five album sales charts in the UK, Germany and Canada while reaching Gold certification in the United States by 1977. It was also through this album that the classic lineup with then-new members Dougie Thomson, Bob Siebenberg and John Helliwell was established, with the three remaining until the first breakup in 1988.

!!Well can you put your tropes in your head? Oh no:
* AssimilationAcademy: "School", which is the trope's page quote.
-->''"I can see you in the morning when you go to school\\
Don't forget your books, you know you've got to learn the golden rule\\
Teacher tells you stop your play and get on with your work\\
and be like Johnny -- too good, don't you know he never shirks\\
He's coming along."''
* BecauseISaidSo: "School" even provides the page quote.
-->''"Don't do this, and don't Do that\\
What are they trying to do?\\
Make a good boy of you\\
Do they know where it's at?\\
Don't criticize, they're old and wise!\\
Do as they tell you to\\
Don't want the devil to\\
Come and put out your eyes"''
* BookEnds: The harmonica solo can be heard at the start of "School" and towards the instrumental ending of "Crime of the Century".
* BrilliantButLazy: Deconstructed with "Dreamer", as the person in the song continues to dream on instead on acting on his thoughts. Thus wasting his life while doing nothing noteworthy.
* CaptivityHarmonica: The intro to "School" invokes this.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: On the original Lyrics sheet insert, Roger Hodgson's vocals are colored white, and Rick Davies' yellow.
* ConceptAlbum: The uniting theme being insanity, or the dark side of society. However, Roger Hodgson says that other than a deliberate connection between "School" and the first line of "Bloody Well Right", there was never any intention to link any of the songs, and any reading of it as a concept album is strictly the listener's.
* DespairEventHorizon: The eponymous character in "Rudy" tried to gain control of his life, and then towards the end of the song, as if that was all a dream:
-->Now he's just come out the movie-\\
Numb of all the pain.\\
Sad, but in a while he'll soon be\\
Back on his train."
* EpicRocking: "Hide in Your Shell", "Asylum" and "Rudy" all are above seven minutes.
* GoAmongMadPeople: The narrator in "Asylum" protests against being called insane do nothing for him, as he is sent to an asylum, and by the end of the song, he believes he's dying.
* HumansAreBastards: The song "Crime Of The Century" is either this or a group jumping the MoralEventHorizon (Raping the universe besides being difficult, would obviously cross that line) depending on how you interpret the fact that behind the masks "there's you and there's me".
* MadDreamer: The subject of "Dreamer" seems to dream a lot without acting on it, initially trying to put his hands in his head in thought, before winding up putting his head in his hands as if in disappointment. Said dreamer was told to "work it out someday" at the start of the bridge.
* SanitySlippageSong: "Asylum"
-->''Don't arrange to have me sent to no asylum.''\\
''[[BlatantLies I'm just as sane as anyone]].''\\
''[[StatusQuoIsGod It's just a game I play for fun...]]''
* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: The subject of "Dreamer" can't seem to realize the extent of his dreams, that he's called out by the narrator leading up to the bridge.
* TrainSong: The eponymous character in "Rudy" is taking a train to nowhere after seemingly wasting a good deal of his life.
* YouAreNotAlone: "Hide In Your Shell" is one of the more encouraging songs in Supertramp's output, with the
