It's everything you hoped a new Dan album would be- wicked lyrics, clever instrumentation, and a sound crisp enough to slice paper. Thankfully, the sound is not the "lite" sound of the recent live album. Instead,  the sound is consistent with Dan's last studio offerings, Aja and Gaucho,  but noticably similar to Fagen's solo disc, Kamakiriad, with stronger horns  and guitarwork. Fagen and Becker play on every track save one, and have  found able new sidemen to complete the band. Standout songs are the title  track, Cousin DuPree and Jack of Speed. Buying this disc is money well  spent; they haven't missed a single beat in the last 20 years.
