Probably the best put together album of Steely Dan. All 7 songs are worth mentioning. Take your big black cow and get outta here.

Only one reply? I feel like Steely Dan is one of those bands that people don't pay enough attention to. Their music might not have been as controversial or game-changing as some of their contemporaries (punk, electronic), but they released some of the most intricately crafted and sophisticated albums ever. It's music whose value and merit is the music in and of itself. Highly recommend for ears tuned for detail.

"Peg" is excellent. Best Steely Dan LP i've listened to, but I'm no specialist.

An old flatmate absolutely adored this album. It's pretty cool.

Oh, that's right. The new AotD is an hour later this time because of DST. Anyway, I love this album It's been on my top 100 since the first time I've heard it. Will listen again today.

Yikes, how did I miss this? Anyway, it's good, but gets old after a few listens. Still, it's easily their best (Pretzel Logic would be were it not for a couple songs). Also, "Peg" is excellent.
