Here you get a very spellbinding funk riff in most of the songs, which shows that bassist and primary guitarist Walter Becker hasn't been idle for the past two decades (if you're like me and already own his "11 Tracks  Of Whack" album, it will come as no surprise). I'm not going to  duplicate the efforts of other reviewers by rehashing the most noticeable  songs like "Cousin Dupree", but you will notice that the longest  number ("West Of Hollywood" at a bit over 8 minutes), is a bit of  an anomaly. In the past, the longest cut on a Steely album was one of the  slower songs--this one might very well be the bounciest. People who don't  like long songs because they seem to drag might find a pleasant surprise in  that cut. Plus, as you might expect in an album built for CD, it's about an  hour long. Which is to me prima facie evidence that anyone who calls them  "dinosaurs" is blowin' smoke--Jurassic albums are only 40  minutes. So freakin' there!
