The new album is much better than "Two..". It's a bit like they stopped concentrating on their golf swing and just started playing. Fagan and Becker are immense talents (with a great sense of deadpan humor), but it seemed that the "Two.." recordings were too 'tense', or some such thing.. "Everything.." features the added benefit of a Walter Becker lead vocal ("Slang of Ages"). If I dare say so, this may be the first Dan tune in years that would be right at home in a dusty bar...
Steely Dan - New release / June 10th
Are there any other huge Steely Dan fans out there anxiously awaiting the new release "Everything Must Go"?
I really liked "Two Against Nature" due to the heavy jazz influence on it and I have heard two tracks from the new album. One entitled "Blue Beach" sounds very good. This should provide a nice soundtrack for the summer of '03.
