Title: Too Much Pressure To Out Do Breakfast in America?
Review: I don't know if the band members ever commented on this, but I get the impression that even they were surprised by the incredible success of Breakfast in America. Certainly the expectations were incredibly high to make a great follow up album. Unfortunately, Famous Last Words failed to come close to the success of Breakfast.The songs are just not up to par here. In fact, I consider this the weakest of the Hodgson-involved albums. The Rick Davies songs are beyond awful, while some of the Hodgson stuff is his usual high quality.In hindsight, it is fairly easy to tell that there were troubles in the band when listening to this. Unfortunately, they couldn't come up with a "farewell" album worthy of the band.
