On "School", the famous harmonica in the intro, the kids screaming while Roger Hodgson makes spacy electric guitar effects, the saxes, the vibraphone and the catchy rhythmic piano make this song an elaborated international number one hit!
The almost hard rock "Bloody well right" has a funny wah wah guitar solo, some relax rhythmic piano saloon piano and a couples of excellent sax solos. "Hide in your shell" has one of the most catchy refrains Supertramp made: GRAND! "Asylum" has a quite mellow and relaxing piano lead vocals on the intro; it track.
The typical hammering Wurlitzer piano takes all its grandeur on the sounds a bit like some Alan Parsons' stuff of the 70's. "If everyone was listening" has precede a very good rhythmic refrain.
