Product Description
"How we do it: First we hook up a sequence of sleek & slinky musical cells over which we sprinkle the most amusing lyrics. Immediately we get on the horn and round up our swinging sidemen, including but not limited to Keith Carlock (drums), Jon Herrington (guitar), Hugh McCracken (guitar), Ted Baker (keyboards), and yours truely, Mssrs. Becker and Fagen on our respective axes. Elliot Scheiner, who is not for nothing the Godfather of 5.1 Surround, does the tracking chores. Next thing you know, the wiggy vocal and stellar solo work are stacked atop the now-realized grooves and harmonies. After mixdown, the finished album reveals to its makers deep subterranean themes and powerful emotional undercurrents that satisfy and surprise at the same time."- Walter Becker and Donald Fagen.

After trading their infamous two-decade hiatus for an armful of Grammies, Steely Dan breezed through the recording of Two Against Nature's follow-up in a year--near record time in the oft-tortuous Becker/Fagan sessionography. Loosening their notoriously anal retentive studio bent has yielded upbeat immediacy, an almost un-Dan-like brightness to jazzy funk and blues that snap and crackle--even if pop is obviously the farthest thing from their fevered brows. But anyone who confuses the sunny disposition of "Blues Beach" and others here with anything but an ever slyer incarnation of their trademark irony and icy veneer just isn't paying attention. Bookended by "The Last Mall" (a cool, chunky update of "Black Friday"'s apocalypse) and a bluesy, laconic title track that serves up metaphors for bankruptcies both commercial and moral, Walt and Don argue that our once fair society may well be past redemption. Better to simply close out the excess with a good blue-light special. "Godwhacker" serves jazz-head notice on no less than the almighty, whilst Becker makes his belated Steely Dan vocal bow on the slinky "Slang of Ages," daring to be termed "Newmanesque" for rhyming "netherworld" with "Duke of Earl"--if not his lugubrious, lounge-lizard delivery. Abetted by guitarists Hugh McCracken and Jon Herrington, the sax of Walt Weiskopf (and others), and synched to the playful grooves of drummer Keith Carlock, Becker and Fagan bring a deliciously detached elegance to "Green Book" and "Pixeleen"'s sharp musings on digital vidiocy, forging an album that's a cunning, symbolic reminder that the sun will shine brightest just before it explodes. --Jerry McCulley

Wrong. In fact, now that I've given this a few listens, it's just so good it's sick. The lyrics are great, the song WB sings on - amazing. Such a great voice (first 5 or 6 listens, just not right - SKIP...then WHAMMO). Criticisms of WB doing the guitar solos are often off the mark as well...he's a great player, folks.
Jeez, I guess I need to pop in 2AN and ramble similarly semicoherently about that one. It's grown on me as well. But I bring it up, actually, to point out the amazing difference in sales figures here - 2AN made quite the splash, but this record is just as good and possibly better. I'm guessing lots of the undeserving unwashed got all excited by The Splash Of The Return Of The Dan (did they buy "Steely Dan T-Shirts" too?) but really weren't on board...do not let this sway you.
Followup: I've had both of these post-comeback releases for months now...and I have to say I never posted a review about 2AN. It just isn't the album this one is, and the growing on me part really went the other way; I find it more forced (kind of like other DF solo efforts vs the great Nightfly). EMG is still one of the best albums I've ever heard. Period.
The album clearly expresses their refinement and maturity as musicians. When listened to, the listener can clearly hear shades of "Can't Buy A Thrill," "Countdown To Ecstasy," "Royal Scam," "Kamakeriad" and even "Nightfly" but all lifted to a new level of perfection, by two of the biggest perfectionists in the business.
The recording quality is so pure, that though I strained my ears for any pop, crackle or tick, I found none. I could not even detect a hint of "Master Tape Hiss" which is probably because there was undoubtedly NO Master Tape, it is digital.
The album, as always is a social commentary. But it is incredibly clean and wonderful popular jazz music. It is as fine a modern jazz recording as can be found from any of the current masters. And it is so essentially and integrally Steely Dan, that it just is one that must be on every serious music collector's shelf.
I have played this album over and over, like other reviewers. I have played it softly and loudly, on OK sytems and good sytems. I have listened to it intently and as just music in the car.
It has everything one could wish for, great tunes, great lyrics, humor and pathos, fine singing, fine musicianship. It is well crafted with all of those great little flourishes and restraints. There are some awesome pieces hidden away in the overall sound.
There is not a bad or second rate apect to this whole album. It has progressed from the last but seems a logical extension of it.
You would think it is the perfect Steely Dan album. A sublime piece of excellence.
But I cannot help but feel that something is missing. It nags away at me on every listen but I cannot put my finger on the cause.
Maybe it needs a little touch of the serpent.
EMG is brimming with hooks that stay and stay, long after you've hit the Power button on your CD player. It's hard to pick a favorite: "The Things I Miss the Most," and the title track are my current favorites. But I keep finding myself humming "Lunch with Gina."
WB & DF have blended comments on love, loneliness, insider trading, online "romance," and technology's invasion of everything, including relationships. They remain the music world's most perceptive and cynical observers of contemporary society. Fortunately, even the bad news sounds good when Steely Dan cuts loose.
Now that EMG is out, it's time for Dan Fans to begin the countdown to the next SD album. 2006?
