Overview

In North America, Slow Motion was only available via mail-order from the band's website, released on their own label, and is the final album to date of new music from Supertramp as a band.

The song "Goldrush" was actually written in the early 1970s under the first Supertramp line-up, by original guitarist Richard Palmer-James, and was used as the opening number in all their shows prior to Crime of the Century.[1] The band had tried to record it on several previous occasions, but had never before been able to recreate it in the studio to their satisfaction.[1] While the album credits the song to Davies and Palmer-James only, Roger Hodgson has supposedly co-written it.[2]

AllMusic[3]
The Rolling Stone Album Guide[4]

AllMusic wrote that the songs and blending of styles are brilliant, but what would otherwise have been an outstanding album was spoiled by shoddy production.[3]
