Co-produced by future No Doubt and Black Crowes producer Jack Joseph Puig, and recorded at Hodgson's 48-track home studio in Nevada City, California, the album is a merger of Supertramp-styled progressive pop-rock and extensive use of Los Angeles session musicians and late-1980s synthesizer technology. Hai Hai featured ten songs, all of which were written by Hodgson, with the exception of "Land Ho", an old Supertramp song (at the time never released on an album but only as a single), which Hodgson co-wrote with his long-time partner Rick Davies in 1974. Hodgson had previously recorded the song in 1983 for his solo album In the Eye of the Storm, which was never released.[1]BackgroundHodgson was unable to fully promote or tour behind Hai Hai, having sustained injuries to both of his wrists in a fall a week after its release.[2] After that accident, Hodgson stopped his musical career for a while. He returned to the public in 1997 with live shows and a live album, Rites of Passage, but would not release another studio album until 2000's Open the Door. Hai Hai was re-released in Canada on November 14, 2006. Reception{{Album ratings| rev1 = Allmusic | rev1Score = {{Rating|2|5}} [3] }}Allmusic panned the album in their retrospective review. They declared Hodgson's decision to abandon progressive rock and experiment with other genres a disaster, since he failed to fully commit to any of these genres, resulting in songs that are musically very basic and uninteresting. They also commented that the lyrics "are at times juvenile and embarrassing... he may have been trying to say something, but the poetry reads like a bored high school student wrote them." They added that the album's over-reliance on electronics and technology made the already uninspired songs sound cold and soulless.[3] Track listingAll songs written by Roger Hodgson, except where noted.
