Steely Dan has progressed along a wonderful evolutionary path, from the college-rock early days of CAN'T BUY A THRILL to the mellow, polished jazz-rock of AJA and GAUCHO.  Through it all, the consistent thing has been  the fabulously obtuse lyrics.  Now we have TWO AGAINST NATURE, a worthy  addition to the Steely Dan "canon", not some lame  "reunion" album with nothing new to say.  Really, this album  picks up where GAUCHO left off, and shows them evolving down the same paths  that one can trace through their entire career.  In other words, they've  grown without selling out...truly the mark of musicians with integrity.  This album should attract them a new generation of fans, please the old  ones, and hopefully renew interest in the entire Dan catalog.  By the way,  the excellent box set CITIZEN STEELY DAN makes the perfect companion  purchase to this album...buy both and you'll basically have everything  Steely Dan has ever done.  Trust me, you'll love it all!
