A year after its release date, this CD is still as powerful as ever - and that's without even needing to listen to it! As with their best work (and their best work this surely is), the Steely Dan alchemy has the effect of hard-coding the songs into your mind, where your subconcious is free to twirl them every which way, discovering surprising angles and mysterious facets. Each new "actual" listening is a revelation. (The only disappointment was that they only played 3 tracks from TAN on tour).
