Paradoxically, the weakest track for me on that album IS "Bloody well right" (great piano intro though); I much prefer Hodgson's voice.
Oh well, your opinion is yours, but I totally disagree. I find the Moodys in general flat and boring, and any of their albums I've listened to usually fail to impress me.

To really appreciate the Supertramp debut, its an album that needs to be played several times to really get the songs, its not an album that's going to grab somebody on first listen. Agree with "Bloody Well Right" as well possibly the weakest on there, whilst the title track has to be amongst one of the greatest songs ever written. Howie il Duckie is a great guy but sadly he is an unbeliever at times
