* FlipFlopOfGod: Hodgon's thoughts on ''Crisis? What Crisis?'' seem to polarize differently with each passing decade; Sometimes he calls it a disjointed mess of an album, other times he goes as far as to say it's his favorite work he's done yet.

* TroubledProduction:
**In 1974 they were touring the West Coast of North America in support of their [[GrowingTheBeard breakout album]], ''Crime of the Century'' when Hodgson broke his hand. This forced the cancellation of the remaining shows, and with nothing better to do the band went into the studios in L.A. to record their next album. They had a lot of time ... but nothing else. Hodgson and Davies hadn't even begun to think about their next album yet, and not only didn't have any overriding theme or concept for it, they hadn't even begun to write songs. Thus the band went forward with all they had: songs they hadn't used on ''Crime'', and a few leftovers from previous sessions. Given those choices, it's no surprise that everyone took two weeks off at one point so Hodgson and Davies could write some new songs ... leaving them, despite their original surfeit of time, with no time left to rehearse the new songs before having to record them. [[YokoOhNo The bandmembers' wives and girlfriends were also going at on their partners' behalf]], to the point that their manager says that things really were the way everyone thinks it was with the Beatles. Davies came up with the title, ''Crisis? What Crisis?'', as an ironic comment on the situation, as well as the cover-art concept. It got some good reviews, but on the whole the band was unhappy with it due to the circumstances under which they recorded it. (Hodgson, however, has since said that upon further consideration he likes it the best of all Supertramp's albums).
** A decade later there was ''..Famous Last Words...'' The band, by that time living in L.A. and enjoying the success of their previous album, ''Music/BreakfastInAmerica'', were feeling pressure to follow it up with a successful album. Vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Roger Hodgson, one of the band's leaders, was growing disenchanted with the L.A. lifestyle, the music industry and touring, and was trying to start a family with his new wife and children. He had taken up yoga, meditation, vegetarianism and spiritual soul-searching, and wanted to record the album in his home studio. The rest of the band members were not adopting Hodgson's lifestyle, and he and the band were growing apart. Hodgson also felt that as Supertramp were getting tighter and more structured in soundcheck rehearsals, they stopped jamming, and were coming up with less ideas as a result; also, it had taken the fun out of the band for him. Davies recorded his vocals at his own home studio. Davies had also fired longtime manager Dave Margereson and employed his wife Sue as manager, a move Roger was uncomfortable with in a band already over-influenced by bickering wives gunning for their husbands in a [[Film/ThisIsSpinalTap Spinal Tap]] manner. When the album came out, it was criticized for (relatively) uninspired material and slick production, and sold a fraction of the amount BIA had done. Finally, Hodgson decided to leave the group in 1983 after a successful world tour.
