Don't be fooled - this is NOT one of those lame albums from '70's or '80's artists who regrouped because they needed money or figured 2 out of 5 original members was enough for one more album.  Some horrid examples of  this have been REO, Peter Frampton(!), Journey, Jefferson Airplane, etc.  OK, back to Steely Dan.  This CD kinda sneaks up on you, like most Steely  Dan albums.  My favorites so far are 'Gaslighting Abbie', 'Almost Gothic'  and the strangely perverted 'Cousin Dupree'.  That last one really shows  that Steely Dan hasn't lost their edginess.  It's too bad that radio  formats are so fragmented today; it would be great hearing the new Steely  Dan follow Beck, Nirvana, the Pumpkins, Beatles, Zeppelin, Dr. Dre and the  Stones all on the same station.  Of course this is just a fantasy; you'll  be lucky to catch it on the old stodgy classic rock format.  A very  worthwhile CD for SD fans or anyone that likes a little challenge to their  music.
