What could it be, this Crime of the Century? Join Gus and Tony as they don striped shirts and burglar caps and attempt to capture the nation's morbid curiosity by discussing the album Crime of the Century by Supertramp. While apparently not an intentional concept album, the Sig-Sig Boys analyze it as such, in an attempt to understand Supertramp's comments on conformity, loneliness, and morality. The boys give particular attention to three of the album's staple songs: "School", a build-up of tension and exploration on the idea that the creativity in children's minds are stifled by formal education; "Hide in Your Shell", a passionate plea for connection and support in the face of uncertainty; and "Crime of the Century", the album's closer and an expression of loneliness at the hands of an apathetic ruling class. Making this episode was the perfect crime!! Recorded May 4th, 2022.
