Title: Stick with Steely Dan and the Nightfly
Product review: This was really an awful effort by Donald Fagen. The once brilliant composer/arranger/vocalist fails to present any inspired material on this disc. There is a monotony and reduncancy to the material that eventually leaves the listener disinterested. The musicianship is also sub-standard. The drums in particular are stiff and annoying. On Nightfly and previous Steely Dan efforts Fagen (and Becker) were wise enough to surround themselves with the finest (mostly L.A.)musicians. Pity they didn't invest a little more effort in recruiting here. Give this one a miss, stick with Steely Dan, and the Nightfly...Simon
