New remastering of Steely Dan's Katy Lied review by Fremer


I don't have a turntable, but in this case, the remastered material is streamable. I did a bit of listening last night and it sounds a bit better, but it’s still far short of Aja, so there’s a let-down effect. “It sounds better” is not the sonic experience of “Wow, this is amazing.” 

Still, better is better, and I'll settle for better.

Unless it’s been covered many times, I’m shocked that NO ONE has mentioned how creepy the lyrics are on KL!! When I was younger I didn’t notice, but now I feel a little dirty whenever I listen, especially knowing Becker’s troubles with the law as it relates to pedophilia!!….

I will give you the benefit of the doubt on WB because I can’t find anything official about such case, so retract my comment about that.

 

The question about the lyrics still stands with no proof needed other than to speculate on what the lyrics are referring to. I’ve been a SD fan for a very long time and I suppose as a youth I didn’t pay much attention to such things, but I take a deeper look into the meaning of songs beyond just the artistic contribution these days. Maybe it’s just what we do nowadays?!….
