Great album, not as good as Pretzel Logic
Surprisingly enjoyable
couldnt get to the end, not my thing. Its pretty good tho
I'm not a huge fan of Steely Dan's sound overall, but I have to admit this album has some bangers....
Great album. Fun songs. Enjoyed it.
Lidt hillbilly, men fin nok
Middle of the road, but fine
Really did enjoy this album. Wasn't what I expected to hear.
Enjoyable
Why did he waste all those years in the Beano wtf this is class.
"Dirty Work" -- kept thinking about when you pick up a dog's poop on a walk and they give you that look of "that's right, wench. Pick it up". Girl. I feed you. You should be so lucky that I am not making you do this. "Reelin' In The Years" -- I forgot that this was a song! It is a good song, but I wish it had come earlier in the album. The songs were a slower pace that made me zone out a little. Not a bad thing, but not great if I want to actively listen to music. Overall, it was good. Very much so a good "background music" album (to me).
Fun album, steely Dan rips through with guitar sections that take you away on multiple tangents. Always feels like the band is just having fun putting together good music, will listen to again
Na da bin ich ja gespannt, Steely Dan‘s Pretzel Logic war ja für mich DIE Entdeckung schlechthin. Bei 'Do it again' dachte ich mir: ach, das ist von denen! Und: habe ich 'Reelin‘ In the Years' eventuell nicht auch schon mal gehört? Die Platte kommt nicht ganz an Pretzel Logic ran und die Songs zünden insgesamt später, sie zünden aber größtenteils. Ich mag den Stil der Band offenbar einfach. Gute 4 Sterne.
Surprisingly good
I mean... this album is great. That's all.
While everyone will know "Reelin' In the Yearsm" my personal favorite was "Dirty Work," which I feel like I've heard a million times without never actually hearing it before. The bossonova/lounge music seems like it goes well as a background track doing mundane tasks and reminds me of beach resort music. There are def worse ways I can imagine sipping on a drink near a pool.
Every Old White person music Bible. This is the quintessential white person album
On some level, starting this album with "Do It Again" feels like a bait and switch; nothing after can stand against it. But it's a decent album, like most Steely Dan albums
Cool, the first part was good
'Midnite Cruiser' was EXCELLENT, and I've long been a fan of 'Do It Again'. A great album, although I find 'Reelin' in the Years' to be one of the weaker tracks. 3.5 Stars
I know a lot of people really dig Steely Dan's groove. I am not one of those. There's nothing inherently wrong with this album -- I just don't like it. 2 stars.
I knew more songs on this album than I thought I was going to, and they are all songs that I like. The album is really consistent throughout 4/5
4.5; I bigly enjoyed this, more than I thought I was going to.. I might be a steely dan fan now
Love the mellow vibe that most of this album puts out, with the exception of a few tracks, but even the non-mellow tracks are great. I've heard Rellin' in the years before, but now I actually know the artist and song name! I'll probably go back and listen to this again.
Classic rock seasoned with Caribbean influences. Warm and uplifting, great for these dark times.
Classic, Do It Again is a song I heard throughout my childhood. Overall love the album
catchy
Great Vibe 4.2/5
Great Songs - but not all of them.
Awful.
Great album with great classics
Great
Pretty solid, a few singles I recognize from the album.
decent, unique style
Sounds good
This is probably more like a 3.5. There are definitely some dad rock bangers on here. Guitar solos are kinda goofy.
It's really hard to find any fault with this album. It's just solid. Maybe not the most exciting at times, but not a dud track in the listing. And, honestly, "Reelin' In The Years" is one of the most iconic songs of the 70s for a reason. Super solid entry to the list.
I've never really listened to Steely Dan outside of their hits, and it looks like I need to take another look. There's not a weak spot on this album. Best track: Do It Again
Peak dad rock
Very solid pop record, plenty of radio staples included. Never takes off as a project or reaches the level of excellence as a collection of songs. Interesting playing in places, and good lyrical gestures at Vietnam.
7.5/10 FT: Do it again
i liked it, then i didnt like it... so idk what that was about. cool easy listening music though
good music 9/10
