20 years after Steely Dan's last studio album, Gaucho, we have been re-introduced to the greatest band of the 70's. The wait was worth it. Granted, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker (the driving force behind SD) released "solo" projects that they worked together on (and I recommend all, especially "<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/The-Nightfly/dp/B000002KXV/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">The Nightfly</a>" by Fagen), but this is the first SD studio album since 1980.
