A sharp puzzle of sound images where jazz and rock intertwine.
This is one of Steely Dan's most sophisticated albums, with poetic irony and complex chord progressions packed into just a few minutes. It is full of innovation that blurs the boundaries between pop and fusion, with tracks like "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" being a standout among the band's musical intelligence.
