Title: A Major Disappointment
Product review: I am a huge fan of Steely Dan. I think it is inexcusable that they are not yet enshrined in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. However, this new CD will definitely not help their chances of getting into the Hall. The best word to describe the music contained in the new CD, "Two Against Nature," is bland. After having listened to all of the nine cuts twice now, so many of them are incredibly similar to each other.The melodies are for the most part flat-out boring.The production and engineering qualities are still top-shelf, but when you begin the recording process with extremely boring melodies there's not much you can really do to dress-up the problem. After having waited 20 years since the release of Gaucho for this, it pains me greatly to say that this CD is best used as soft, background music for dinner or as listening music in an elevator.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
