This is a good but somewhat uneven album.  Its closest relative would be Fagen's Kamakiriad. In fact, "What a Shame About Me" sounds suspiciously like Kamakiriad's "Springtime," and the bass-line in "Janie Runaway" sounds like Kamakiriad's "Trans-island Skyway." For my money, Kamakiriad is the better album by a nose.
