My favourite Steely Dan album. There’s not an average track on the whole album, in fact, every track is a Bonafide great / classic track, and the album works as a whole as well.
If someone were to ask me, “what style of music is Aja, I would find it extremely hard to pin it down. It’s very much jazz, and part soul, part rock, and all brilliant. I actually like that this album, in common with all Steely Dan albums, defines pigeonholing.
The following describes it far better than I could “[Steely Dan] wasn't rock or pop music with ideas above its station, and it wasn't jazzers slumming [...] it was a very well-forged alloy of the two – you couldn't separate the pop music from the jazz in their music."
In common with most Dan albums, it feels uplifting and adventurous, even when the subject matter can be rather dark.
