The new Steely Dan record is pretty much in the same vein as "Aja" and "Gaucho." Fagan's vocals and horn section are just as good as ever. Most of the tenor sax solos are by Chris Potter,he  stands out on the easy "Gaslighting Abbie", and a more upbeat  (more of a Steely classic)"West of Hollywood." Other standout  tracks are "What a Shame about Me","Cousin Depree",and  "Almost Gothic", which recalls "Deacon Blues." Though  Becker's guitar work does the job, I kinda wished they added muscians like  Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Mike Campbell (Heartbreakers) or Robert Cray.  Because this record doesn't contain any rockers like "Reelin'in the  years", "My Old School",or "Black Friday."
