5 stars Well worth the wait!
Open the Door, Roger's first studio effort in over 13 L O N G years is a testament that good things are worth waiting for! This compilation contains the acoustics of Supertramp's "Even in the Quietest Moments" and the catchy pop/rock sounds of "Breakfast in America" all rolled into one. At least a third of the cd's tracks are acoustic, catchy melodies, of which "Along came Mary" and "For Every Man" are the best.

3 stars One classic tune, the rest is agreeable enough
Hodgson is a songwriting treasure, with enough success behind him to assure his place in music history. But while this record boasts one absolute, must-have, instant classic ("Along Came Mary"), the rest is mostly passable. Roger has a tendency to go overboard with the treacly ballads, "Say Goodbye" being a case in point. He also tries to emulate the majesty of "Even In The Quietest Moments" and "Fool's Overture" without much success (the elephant calls in "Death And A Zoo" are really irritating). Download "Mary" and you've got the gist of it.
