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.

Just spent a night listening to "Everything Must Go". Very good music, definitely a step up from the somewhat disappointing "Two Against Nature".

Has anyone else noticed low frequency "thumps" on several of the tracks?

Nobody at all heard the low frequency thumps I asked about earlier? On "Pixaleen" a big one comes at 1min18secs. I don't hear them at all on my bedroom system that rolls off the bass below 50Hz, but on the main system (which goes down strongly to 25Hz) the thumps come thru very strong.

Hey Ben, I could have a defective disc.

I have the redbook CD. I looked at the song's digital waveform using an editor and there appears to be a fairly strong digital clip right at that point, but what I'm hearing doesn't sound like typical digital overload. There's no raspy distortion, but instead a very strong, very low frequency thump. When I first heard the thumping I thought it was construction truck hitting a pothole while passing by my house.
