Produced by Ken Scott at Trident, Ramport and Scorpio studios, the album was the first to feature the classic line-up of Roger Hodgson, Rick Davies, John Helliwell, Dougie Thomson and Bob Siebenberg, and its lush, layered production set the template for everything that followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album opens with \u003cstrong\u003eSchool\u003c\/strong\u003e, a wry commentary on institutional conformity driven by Hodgson's cascading piano, and closes with the epic title track \u003cstrong\u003eCrime Of The Century\u003c\/strong\u003e. Between them, \u003cstrong\u003eBloody Well Right\u003c\/strong\u003e became the band's first US hit, while \u003cstrong\u003eDreamer\u003c\/strong\u003e -- released as a single in 1975 -- remains one of their most recognisable songs. \u003cstrong\u003eHide In Your Shell\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAsylum\u003c\/strong\u003e showcase the band's ability to build complex, emotionally charged arrangements.
