""Everything Must Go" is Steely Dan's second album since their re-union - and at this point their latest. I have noticed that it is often considered weaker than its predecessor, "Two Against Nature".

"Picked this up in a charity shop for a quid - what a pleasantly surprising bargain that turned out to be. Tight, tasteful, memorable and punchy, this is electronic pop music par excellence."  Reply
