New Steely Dan; Great Music w/ Surgical Precision

Listening to the New Steely Dan release right now. Available at Borders for $12.99. It's very hard to compare with their other releases. It's almost like a compilation of "sounds" off their other albums. Great sonics. Great music.

Just so everyone knows, "Everything Must Go" is available on CD, DVD-A and, for the Steely Dan "collector", a limited edition 2 disc set with CD and 5.1 DVD.

New Steely Dan is always such a treat. Post your opinions of this new release.

Like it a lot. Pretty darn clean. My systems over the years have always been challenged by Fagen's voice - I'd give his sound an 8, maybe 8.5 this time out. He always sounds like it's just this side of phasey. (but Becker is IN THE ROOM on his cut.)

This is so much better than 2 Against. Lyrics better, groove hypnotic. Much more organic. Worthy!

I wonder if there's a variation in sound quality from various pressing plants - wouldn't I love a Japanese pressing! - I have SACD not DVD-A, so can't tell.
