Title: It's like 1981!
Product review: Where Steely left off in 1980, they roll back in, seamlessly, 20 years later! I have friends that just HATE these guys, but I consider them to be the most intelligent thing about post 1960 jazz! Unlike other "fusion" acts, Steely understands the meaning of a hook. It's really the only jazz fusion that doesn't seem like futile, endless-scale noodling! "Two Against Nature" is as clever and infectious as anything they've ever delivered. Much more cohesive than Fagen's "Kamakiriad", this record proves that these guys need each other to really make things gel. I love it. I might call it my favorite, but Steely Dan is one of the few bands where it's difficult to pick a fave. Love em' or hate em'. Most folks do. Few are indifferent. J.
