Crisis? What Crisis? is the fourth album by progressive rock band Supertramp, released in 1975 (see 1975 in music).
The album was Supertramp's first album to be recorded in America in Los Angeles.
The title was taken from a quote in the 1973 Fred Zinnemann motion picture, The Day Of The Jackal although Rick Davies stated on the US rock radio show Rockline that he had the title of the album written down in one of his books because they couldn't come up with a proper title for the album.
Four of the songs ("Sister Moonshine", "Another Man's Woman", "Lady", and "Just a Normal Day") were performed live before the tracks were recorded and released, as documented on the BBC recorded performance of the band playing at The Hammersmith Odeon in London in March of 1975.
A remastered CD version of the album was released in June 11, 2002 on A&M Records. The remaster features the original artwork and credits plus lyrics to all of the songs which were not on previous issues of the album.
