"Brother Where You Bound" is the eighth studio album by the British progressive rock band Supertramp, released in 1985. It marked a departure from the band's earlier sound, incorporating elements of art rock, jazz, and electronica, while also featuring more political and socially conscious lyrics.
The album's title track, "Brother Where You Bound," is an epic, 16-minute-long composition that serves as the centerpiece of the album. It features guest vocals by Pink Floyd's Roger Hodgson and explores themes of political oppression and surveillance.
Other tracks on the album, such as "Cannonball" and "Better Days," continue the album's thematic focus on political and social issues, while also showcasing Supertramp's trademark blend of melodic pop-rock and progressive experimentation.
While "Brother Where You Bound" was not as commercially successful as some of Supertramp's earlier albums, it received positive reviews from critics and has since gained a cult following among fans of progressive rock. The album's ambitious musical arrangements, thought-provoking lyrics, and political commentary make it a standout in Supertramp's discography.
