The Nightfly

Started strong but tailed off a bit, favourite song by far was I.G.Y, definitely better Steely Dan music though

Reminiscent of the jazzier Steely Dan though I miss Walter Becker’s influence.

J'ai bien aimé cet album de jazz vocal, mais sans plus. C'est vraiment le genre qui fait très bonne musique de fond, mais je ne pense pas que j'écouterais ça activement régulièrement. 7/10

If i didn't read this was the Steely Dan guy, i think i would've figured it out from the music. It sounds like what they would've done in the 80s during the synthpop era. It's fun.

3.5

Like Steely Dan-lite.

Walk Between Raindrops down Green Flower Street and you’ll find this album.

can't agree that this is essential listening

.

Kova!

I am a fan of Steely Dan and the debut solo album from Donald Fagen sounds like it could have been the follow-up to the band's last studio album, Gaucho. Personally, Gaucho is my least favourite Steely album, it's the only Dan album I refused to buy, because it's too slick, too commercial sounding, boring and I just didn't like it. The Nightfly doesn't sound too different, but I enjoyed it more and some of the songs I thought were Steely Dan songs. A decent listen, but I'm more than happy to live in the past and listen to Steely Dan's first batch of albums (not Gaucho!) again instead.

What a pleasant listen! It was a bit monotonous, but I really enjoy Donald Fagen’s voice

the three part harmony really reminds me of some other artist; will revisit when I figure it out

that first song was like a nuclear bomb of endorphins and then the rest of the album had no budget left to wow me

Steely Dan's an interesting one. I almost like a lot of their songs. Or do I like the various session musicians parts. Like all of the dan, this is immaculately recorded, ironic lyrics etc. Everything always sounds like its gonna be great, but is only ever good.

Groovy, bouncy, jazzy yacht rock through and through. It's like diet Steely Dan with all the signature taste of Fagen, but zero Becker. That said, I'd rather listen to Steely Dan.

I find Donald Fagen's music boring, it all just blends together.

Surprisingly pretty catchy songs, I wasn't familiar with any of Fagen's solo stuff. Nice to listen to but I probably wouldn't seek it out too often. Solid 6/10

I know it's a solo album, but this is basically Steely Dan. Good album, overall! I'd say 3.5 - I will round down.

Kinda cool style

Definitely ok, some good stuff and some annoying junk

Steely Dan is one of my favourite bands and I’ve always loved each of their albums. I was excited to get a band member but was shocked to find it wasn’t clicking as much as I had thought it would. Don’t get me wrong, it was fun and I did like his voice but I was hoping to be WOWED more.

Rating: 6/10 Choice cuts: I.G.Y., Green Flower Street

pretty much Steely Dan. Not bod but not exciting

When walking through the shire, this is what to listen to on your hobbit walkman.

I dont hate it. I listened to the first 2 tracks and thought it sounded a lot like steely dan before I read the wiki and figured all that out. Its not amazing or profound or anything, but its solidly "OK." 3/5

It's pleasant and contains some interesting structures, but ultimately Donal Fagen seems to be a bit too easy listening for my tastes.

A wonderfully pleasant listen, that ultimately leaves only a little mark.

The definition of easy listening. Very hard to rate for me so let’s go in da middal

Honestly easy listening but was kinda boring.

This soundtrack turned into background music and before I ever realized Spotify was playing an entirely different artist. I did enjoy the New Frontier song.

Did not expect to know this artist but did. But a huge fan of the fake multiple vocals style. Wonder why they would sound like live.

Very silly, but I honestly had fun

What an opening track! But it gets pretty boring towards the tail end of the album. It's an ok album, but I will probably not return to it for anything other than the opener.

“steely dan light” if you will. and as anything steely dan adjacent, of course you have top notch musicianship. not bad, not bad at all.

Steely Dan Light

Cool album, coole cover en na het luisteren werd het nog cooler toen ik te weten kwam via mijn 1001-albumbuddy dat dit het soloproject is van iemand van Steely Dan. 3.4

Fun but kinda lacks the sauce

Eh. Yacht rock I didn’t knoe

Irgendwie ein bisschen „beige“.

Indistinguishable from steely Dan’s discography

igy- 4 green flower street- 5 ruby baby- 4 maxine- 4 new frontier- 4 nightfly- 4 goodbye look- 4 walk between raindrops- the bass is good. 5 elevator music

Chill listen, but it all sounds the same.

This would actually be an ok jazz pop album and is I guess. But the rehashed backing vocals/chorus effects are really annoying after a while...

Definitely liked the first (hit) song of the album. Learned something new!

This certainly feels like an album from a time and place. It's very cruisy late night 80s radio. Faves: New Frontier because it seems to be about finding love in the apocalypse and for rhyming beer with frontier. Walk Between Raindrops a nice feel good closer.

OK

Decent. Cool to hear what came after steely Dan. I do kinda get what people mean when they mention the music is so clean that it’s almost sterile. Still tho I did like it even if I thought the songs tended to drag on Rating: 3.2

This feels quite vintage with strong 80s vibes which I do like. Very bouncy synths and beats which are fun and up-beat. All slightly cringe in quite a fun hilarious way. It almost reminds me of Hall & Oates in places which is a great thing but it's slightly lacking in punch and not quite hitting the mark somehow. I just read that Donald Fagen was the lead singer of Steely Dan (I hadn't heard of him) I can't say I'm a Steely Dan fan... find it wishy washy and perhaps it is actually in large part down to Donald's voice. The vocal feels quite weak to me. It's almost a little bit frustrating but I don't hate it!

Yeah this was quite enjoyable! Wasn't what I expected. Overall inoffensive. Quite good

Bueno

Vekkulia ja funkkista. Jazzpoppia ilmeisesti. Parhaat: Green Flower Street, New Frontier

Well-produced, but too smooth for my taste. 3 stars

Saw it was a guy from Steely Dan so I made sure to listen to it on my proper stereo. Wonderfully recorded. Just not my thing.

Steely Dan with an 80’s flavor

i should definitely like this more, i mean Aja is one of my favorite albums…. maybe i’m not in the right mood today 3.5

Lettere undervældende. Ok til tider, lidt disco vipe over noget af det, lidt blues her, lidt contrey der, kryderet med noget jazz ud over det meste. Det skal nok være et godt album hvis man ikke havde mulighed for at høre andet. For den introducere til meget forskelligt.

Steely Dan without the irony isn't half bad, but it's still not the same. i think The Nightfly is alright, it works as a jazzy exercise of nostalgia and lost dreams for Fagen himself. there's a lot of good things about it ("I.G.Y." and the title track rival the best Steely Dan songs) but i think what keeps it from being on the level of a Gaucho or even a Katy Lied is that cautious optimism. instead of a man selling me moonshine wrapped in studio candy, i'm just getting a nice bowl of candy. i like candy, and some of it tastes like the moonshine, but i can't help but feel a bit let down that i'm JUST getting this. also, "The Goodbye Look" has got to be the snazziest song about a Mafia casino runner getting executed by Castro this side of the trade embargo. if you're in Cuba and using RYM: 1. how 2. why 3. do they have better songs about similar topics on your end? message me if so.

The musical equivalent of conditioner. Bright, shiny and soft.

One of the most mediocre albums yet

К сожалению, хоть альбом и звучит как лёгкий джаз, совсем не запоминается.

Night of September 8, 2024 HL: "Maxine", "I.G.Y." the title track Contrary to my attempts to be open-minded, I decided this was a three star album before listening to it. An 80's solo spinoff from Steely Dan? I enjoy some Steely Dan, and there's enough here to appeal to fans of that band. But it somehow took the slippery smooth production of Aja even further into the clinical jazz we get here. Interestingly, the lyrics themselves are wistful and descriptive; there is soul to be found.

Smooth middle of the road Steely Dan-esque beat

Oh yeah, I remember this one. We'd all be in the van and say, "What? That's not Steely Dan?" Lots of cool sounds on here, but seriously, if you're going to ditch the band, hire studio musicians, and change the name, I feel like you owe me a new sound. Wanker.

I've given this a few spins at this point. I *should* love it! The first track, I.G.Y, is one of my Dad's favorites, and he loves it for its weird, prescient, sly cynicism that feels like it's pulling back the curtain. I love it for that, but also for its alluring cleanliness. It's almost the cleaner than any other Steely Dan record! Which is saying something! This is the era of Ultra Clean. Something so hypnotic for the musician in me, at the utterly, pointlessly perfect sound. There's just something so weird about it, you know? Like, why did they decide to do this? I just think the songs kind of fall off after the first song. I like the more bluesy, open arrangements, but the songs at the heart feel a little less immediate for my taste. Feels like we're laying back in the comfort zone. Which, for Donald Fagan, is still cool. But for me, the listener, I'm waiting a little for stuff to happen. Still, great record. 3/5

послушала в пятницу и забыла, отлично) что-то неинтересное

Except for IGY and New Frontier, I was unfamiliar with the other songs on this album. Donald Fagen certainly has a particular style that is recognizable and perhaps a bit too repetitive. I’d give it another listen.

quiet and old

Yacht Rock: The Album

It

I've listened to this a couple times but I haven't caught onto it yet.

I’m a middle aged man. I recognized more of these songs than I care to admit. It’s also the only album I’ve come across with a perfect 3 ⭐️ rating. I’m not going to mess with that.

lite bumbo soccer men kiva att lyssna på.

This got a bit samey but it was really enjoyable. Very much of its time.

Mildy interesting and easy to listen to but nothing caught my ear to make me want to listen more.

Torn between a 3 and 4 star, I feel like there was just something missing from the album to really make me want to return. Overall great listen, I've found that I really like Steely Dan's first two records (which Donald Fagen was a part of), and this definitely has that Steely vibe. The opener is super catchy and sets a great mood.

Very easy listen. This commercially "jazz" piece can be and is probably a coffee shop staple. I wonder why it reminds me of Steely Dan a lot. It turns out that the guy IS from Steely Dan.

I don't really care for Steely Dan. Donald Fagen's solo album is slightly better. It's still the same type of meh rock.

Steely Dan Jumpscare. I love me some Steely Dan. Which makes me wonder who they put bros solo catalog in here when we have plenty steely albums. It was cool to see the style of Steely Dan move into the 80’s, and while it’s a lot poppier, I’d say Fagen doesn’t stray too far off course compared to some of my other favorite artists in the crazy 80’s. Fav tracks: IGY, green power flower street, new frontier, The Nightfly

It's another Steely Dan album. Amazing musicianship, occasional bangers, all the emotion of a damp tea towel.

Technically is very good and I enjoy it enough Will I listen to again: 25%

No escuchou deu meus

Is 80s music a genre? Because I can't really pin down what is going on with this record. It's like a caricature of cocaine, Reagan, the Cold War and pilates. That doesn't mean it's necessarily bad. It's certainly smoooooth and sexy. It has fun moments, cool guitar solos. Interesting disco inspired harmonies, but I guess I'm only describing what I'm hearing. Which is basically the epitome of 80s trash pop all encompassed into 1 record that is definitely FINE.

3.5 Cheesy but I dig it. Definition of “easy listening.”

I enjoy a lot of Steely Dan, so I was sure I'd enjoy this one, but was surprised to find I didn't as much I wanted to. It's hard to give a 3 vs a 4, because my knock on it is "The Steely Dan sounds like Steely Dan" which is obvious in a solo career, but was hoping for more. It is very reminiscent of Gaucho (release 2 years earlier) and besides I.G.Y and New Frontier sounding semi different I wouldn't be able to tell this was a solo project.

I.G.Y. 2.8 Green Flower Street 3 Ruby Baby 3.1 Maxine 3.3 New Frontier 3.1 The Nightfly 3.4 The Goodbye Look 3.2 Walk Between Raindrops 3 Score: 3.1125

Nothing much seemed to progress or develop enough. Some good lyrics.

A pleasant voice, interesting and fun lyrics, highlights are “the new frontier” and “Maxine” The major issue here is you would struggle to tell any song apart and musically it’s quite dull. The jazz backgrounds almost sent me to sleep and I found many of the songs overly long and a struggle to get through. There’s nothing bad about this but i feel one track would be enough.

Hm. This was fine, but didn't wow me. I feel like most of the songs went on at least a minute too long, too

this was all right, but it's definitely missing that je ne sais quoi (i.e. walter becker) that made steely dan so great. fagen on his own just kinda goes hard on the smooth jazzy soft rock, which is okay but gets dull after a while. the whole time i was listening to this, i was just waiting for a my old school or bodhisattva or a similar jam to come on, but by the end i had just waited 40 minutes for the end of the album. it's also very 80s-sounding, but the album art is pretty cool. good background music but nothing that really grabs me. favorites: i.g.y., new frontier, the nightfly

I like the style but it didn't stand out to me Green Flower Street and The Nightfly were my favorites. Wish it had a little more

This is really well made and it sounds great, but it just doesn’t really have anything to amaze me. My favorite songs were IGY, Green Flower Street, and The Nightfly.

Gentle grooves, kinda jazzy

mellow

Interessante

Wow, The Nightfly! The general consensus around audionerds is that when you get new headphones/speakers, you have to do yourself a favor and test them on two albums: Rage Against the Machine's debut album, and of course Donald Fagen's The Nightfly. This is very funny to me that these two albums are connected somehow when they sound so, so different. I've done this a few times in my life and it's a cool thing to listen to the albums and get an idea in your head for what they SHOULD sound like so that you can use them as a base for testing new music gear. And that consensus is for a good reason, as this album's production is immaculate. It's almost eerie in a way? Because the spacing of the instruments across 3D space is so perfectly produced, and it makes all of the instruments sound so distinct, but still cohesive and tied together. It's a wonder for 1980. He's got a great voice that I think is often overlooked because of the production greatness. It's a little bit Sting without the overacting that Sting sometimes does; he's like a more everyman Sting. It falls as a nice 3/5 for me. It's got great moments but not many big hit memorable ones for me to give it a 4. It's still absolutely enjoyable and listenable in any context (bad day? Put this on. Good day? Put this on.). Great album cover. It's cool, it's mysterious, and the text is perfectly placed.

Solid dad rock

The police but make it like background coffee shop music. It's pleasant background 80s music, maybe this would fit some TV show. Not sure why this had to be called out on this list, but I don't hate it. Beige music.

Well, this was…..neat.

divertido!

Anyone else see this cover and want to hear a great Nick Cave or Tom Waits album? That's not what this is.

Very 80s. I would use this in my neo-old 80s film noir movie

Didn’t like the entire album but overall enjoyed it. Reminds me of the Joe Jackson era

Don’t really see how this is any better than a lot of Steely Dan. It’s okay.

Didn’t realize this was the Steely Dan guy. Album is ok. Very 70s but with a little more smooth jazz/downtown city influence

A good amount of saves. Nothing to write home about but I enjoyed the album. Green Flower Street went pretty hard tbh

both some of the best and worst steely dan songs?

It’s jazzy and chill music. Songs all kind of song the same though. I’ve actually heard some of it on WXPN very recently. I’m always like oh I’ll keep it on, but not my favorite thing.

This is groovy, but the songs aren't quite as strong as the Steely Dan I've listened to. Though it's refreshing to hear an 80s rock album without the gawdy 80s production tropes. Favorite tracks: I.G.Y. Green Flower Street New Frontier

Some silly lyrics and vocal tones, it's giving stardew valley 80s jazz in some songs. Other songs are groovy AND funky. A little elevatory overall. Favorite songs: New Frontier, IGY 7/10

Casual enjoyer of yacht/soft rock but don’t think this will be in the rotation too much. Not the worst but it didn’t really stand out to me.

I liked this, it has a mix of both 80s and 50s vibes, which results in a sort of lo-fi sound. I enjoy the layered vocals and the musical interludes. Reading the bio after listening, didn't know he was part of steely Dan! And we love a jersey boy. Unfortunately I went and listened to a little Steely Dan after and I do think the duo is better, but I'm trying not to let that influence my opinion on this solo work. Top songs: I.G.Y New Frontier Green Flower Street

I tapped my toe but probably won’t add any of these songs to the queue unless I’m on a boat with boomers (possible).

Nice listen, good cover, they all kinda blend together but there are standouts Best Song: Walk between raindrops Worst Song: N/A

I don’t get the hate. I plan to revisit this one. I’m a fan a Steely Dan though so I guess it would make sense that I liked this too.

Ok

It's hard not to hear this as a Steely Dan album, given how distinctive Fagen's voice is, and the music is fairly similar too. A sly way to get more Steely Dan into the 1001 albums project! That said, I'm sorry he decided to go solo in the early 1980s, as this was *not* a very fertile time for distinctive sounding tunes amongst all the backup choruses, poppy synth sounds and the ubiquitous sax solos and drum-machine-sounding beats (even when they're actually drums). I'm kind of reminded of Dire Straits' "Brothers in Arms" (although I enjoy that album a lot more). It's kind of hard to agree with the critic who called this "one of pop music's sneakiest masterpieces," as I wish it was more distinctive and interesting.

I didn't have much of a reaction to this--I was working as I listened to it and it was pleasant and unobtrusive and there were only a few minutes where I stopped to listen again or to start over--so not much of an impact on me.

signature Steely Dan synthy jazzy semi-ironic tone that leans a bit too much into the muzak to be worthwhile. this jam band can sure play, though

So, this was a decent album; clearly a continuation of the writing he did as part of Steely Dan. However, it does drone on a bit. The grooves here have always been comforting to this Steel Dan fan; but it only ranks at a 3.5 stars overall.

Was all like, ‘who the hell is Donald Fagen’ then the first track plays and I’m all like. Okay, I’ve heard this before.

Just made me want to listen to Steely Dan honestly

Agradable.

Listening to a member of a once famous duo’s solo music can be hit or miss. It would be like if you took one of the members of Daft Punk, and expected their music to be on the same level of quality as what they did with their partner. For some reason the name Donald Fagen didn’t immediately stand out to me. I knew I recognized it, but I had to look it up to realize he was one half of Steely Dan. At this point in time, they had been broken up for a little while. And I was interested to see how the music would sound with only 50% of the powerhouse that is Steely Dan. Fagen is pretty much the lead vocalist of the duo, so this is not lacking in the vocal department. And this sort of gives in to the synth heavy glitz of the early 80’s. But make no mistake, this still has most of the jazzy yacht rock goodness that their main stuff has. But I don’t know. Something about this feels like it’s lacking a lot of the creativity that Steely Dan has. It’s just more traditional and less engaging than their stuff together. Like much of their later work, this is still refined to the highest point an album can be, and has excellent production. They were perfectionists, and it shows. But I just don’t vibe with this as much as I do with their other records. Rating: 6/10

Always like his sound, Steely Dan or solo.

This was alright. I recognized the singer's voice from Steely Dan, and many of the songs were certainly Steely Dan adjacent, with a hint of something that also kind of reminded me of Randy Newman for some reason.

yet another Steely Dan album that didn't do much for me. It's not bad, by any means, but also I don't get it. 2.5/5

Just meh. Not terrible but there wasn’t much to it.

Big 3

7 Igy

Pleasant, jazzy, nice vocal harmonies throughout. I read about the connection to Steely Dan but this feels like a fairly run-of-the-mill album to me. The blog does note there are some interesting tidbits of music theory applied here, I'll take their word for it.

Started listening to this song and immediately thought, "Why does this sound like Steely Dan?" I'm sure others already knew that he was a member but I was just impressed that I recognized his voice immediately since I never knew his name. Turns out I also vaguely know I.G.Y. from childhood.

His songs are so long. Why? The intros go on forever. The music is kinda cool. There’s some jazzy piano riffs throughout that are fun to listen to. Can’t say any song really stood out for me.

made me feel like i was cruising through a fictional city at 1 pm, a little drunk with no cars around and no chance of hurting anybody

Pretty cool

3.3

I read a lot of good things about this album, and even though I'm not a fan of Steely Dan repertoire, I was still hoping for a strong, or interesting, performance. Unfortunately, it seems that "The Nightfly" might have been released by the full band, it just wasn't too far off their style, which once again, isn't to my liking. I just don't find that jazzy rock style appealing. Donald's vocal is pretty good, but his style just grinds my gears for some reason. Very good quality of the album, but I'm not going to enjoy it.

- woah it’s the dude from Steely Dan - cool vibes, enjoyable listen

I love Steely Dan, and obviously Donald Fagan can write some incredible songs. I sometimes have trouble with solo records though, and I can miss the contributions of the other band members instead of appreciating the individual ability of the solo artist. This album has a bit of both, where I am appreciating Fagan's songs half the time and missing Walter Becker the other half. There's some incredible parts here, but I don't think it reaches the heights of Steely Dan as a whole.

Typical 80s

Steely Dan lite lite lite.

I enjoyed this more than Steeley Dan Pretzel Logic but in the same vein it's beautifully produced and impeccable musicianship but lacking something.

In the person the made the full house theme song also made an album inspired by the full house theme song. Wait, did this man write the full house theme song?

Fun and interesting. Not exciting, but not an album I would skip, but also would not search.

Not sure if this is a so bad it's good, or just good with a lot of bad, but then it's good. Gonna settle with OK.

Very fake canned sounding. But some of the songs are catchy.

Sehr gut, etwas steril. Drei Sterne

No quite Dan

While I still enjoy this album, it’s so obviously missing some extra parts that make Steely Dan one of my favourite groups to listen to. There are some highlights in regards to Fagen’s narrative storytelling and, as usual, polished production, but the songs don’t necessarily come together to create something bigger than its parts. Will still put this on occasionally, and honestly this is one of my favourite album artworks ever. Three stars. Fave track: IGY

Smooth operator. Geggjað sound. Steely Dan soundið mjög sterkt en skemmtileg tilraunastarfsemi með. 3.5/5

"fun album, but i felt like some songs dragged a bit and got repetitive - 3 adds"

Jazzy 🎵

Agradable.

Not quite sure about this one :/

Hall and Oates meet Joe Jackson in an Edward Hopper painting of a Disco.

Nice, but a little aged.

Super cheesy 80s

One of the first to meld jazz, blues and rock together. Not a fan but recognize his genius.

A 'lost' jazzy Steely Dan album. This is the release after Gaucho before a long break. Short, but Fagen quality. Not sure how long these notes need to be. This service is interesting, but the delivery is kluge.

It's a steely dan album without the charm of a steely dan album. Very middle of the road for me. Just feels a bit off without Walter Becker.

Just an average sounding album.

Mellowly good.

This album is one of those albums that although it was nice to listen to and fits to whatever you're doing whilst listening, it wasn't anything special or exciting. It felt like it took the 80s electronic hype and ran with it, the lyrics were almost hard to hear over the constant electronic noise. It just felt like a bit of a mess, but did get better as the songs went on.

It might be the tracklist to a guy singing live in a restaurant, it might follow a good melody for a casual 8-bit game, you may also be dancing by snapping your fingers. I can not exactly define it, but Donald Fagen definitely sets the vibes right. Clear and concise, this album is a relaxed listen and will lift you up. There are no great exciting tracks on it, but it is a good wrap in general.

Meh. Love Steely Dan but this is kind of boring

I had to look at the wiki to find out what genre of music this is considered, jazz pop. This music sounds like what would play at the end of an 80s young adult comedy movie to get people out of the theatre but like happily. ‘Green Flower Street’ was almost a banger, at times Fagen tried to hit notes that were a little above his pay grade. Ruby Baby went on way to long and I was waiting for it to end after the first couple minutes. I enjoyed the instrumentals a lot more than the singing. It’s not that his singing is bad in anyway, I just can imagine a different singer really elevating the sound. Why isn’t ‘The Goodbye Look’ the last song on the album?! It’s not that I didn’t like it, it’s that I didn’t like it that much. 5/10

3,5 cool

Not familiar with any Steely Dan albums, but front-man Donald here has some smooth, catchy tunes.

I had basically no reaction to this. I like Steely Dan, but this just seemed to have no point. Musicianship was good though.

Just okay. No stand out tracks, felt like a very mid 80's jazz record. Fagen is not as strong here as he is with Steely Dan

I wish every song on here was as good as I.G.Y., but the whole album has an awesome atmosphere and was a fun time to listen to. Not as many standouts as I would have liked, but a few tracks I will definitely revisit

3 so cheesy

??

Best Song: New Frontier. I think I just liked the bass the best here. Worst Song: Ruby Baby. The instrumentals were fine, but the doo-wop-y vocals killed it for me. Overall: Is it possible for music to be too smooth? Everything in this album feels so polished it's frictionless. Slips one ear and out the other. Music by and for sexy robots.

sounds like steely dan to me. 3.0

Unsurprisingly similar to the Steely Dan mothership, but best judged on its own merit. And merited it is.

It's so much 80s that I almost typed this comment on my electric typewriter.

Boring

Smoooooth

Smooth 80s yacht rock, or something like that. It did sound a lot like Steely Dan to me, for better or for worse. Not bad, didn’t mind it, but probably wouldn’t listen again.

Different to a lot of other stuff that has come on this list. Definitely enjoyed it.

Smooth as.

I know this well. Its kinda a big warm hug but listening objectively it is a bit bland. It doesn't match the best Dan and they are a 4.

Solid

This album is sterile. There is much for character or soul but it is incredibly clean and engineered to sound appealing. I’ve grown up on metal so this really doesn’t sound “fun” it’s something I could put on and no one would have an aversion to it. I wish I hated it, but I can’t.

Lapped up on release due to absence of new Steely Dan material. Thought it was good at the time but listening again nigh on 40 years later there aren't enough strong tracks. Strong musicianship and well produced as to be expected but lacking an additional critical ear to make it great.

Very middle of the road, generic, bland, non-offensive. Starter pack music. I envision myself casually shopping in JCPenney circa 1991 while music from the weather channel plays in the background over the radio. Not too bad, not too good. Adequate.

Quite calming and chill with IGY as a very nice, somewhat popular, opener

I like some Steely Dan. This sounded like some of their smooth, easy listening stuff, which I don't care as much for. Upon first listen, the only song that stood out much was Ruby, and that's only because it's a cover of a song I know well. It's fine for what it is, but I must be missing something considering it's on this list.

Cheesy but fun, lounge lizard jazz kind of thing. I wasn't aware Donald Fagen was of Steely Dan, but it makes perfect sense - the sound of the record firmly brought to mind Steely Dan, and I guess now it make sense. Not my favourite genre, and it's not special enough to make it for regular rotation, but it gets an easy three-star rating.

Yeah, samey, but ever so smooooooth

Similar but overall a bit less exciting than Steely Dan.

Could take it or leave it. I respect it more than I actually like to listen to it.

Chill

Nice

this one after for me similar music, a funky, boring Stevie Wonder album. Donald Fagan sounds fresher, and two killer songs on the album. But again, too perfect for me, no emotion.

first listen definitely the worst steely dan record

Great album cover

Mmmmm jazzy. Initially didn't think I'd like this but it's pretty comforting. Really liked New Frontier

Pretty solid throughout, good energy throughout doesn't live up to I.G.Y afterwards but no huge misses either

Just fine. It's Steely Daniel but Jazzier. Falls into their same victories and defeats. Some jams, some duds... not much to say or stick with me honestly.

6/10

Það er alveg eitthvað þarna, skemmtilegt sound oft og áheyrileg lög. Ég hef ekkert á móti þessari tónlist, en hún talar svo sem ekki mikið til mín heldur.

Listened Before? N Smooth, jazzy, relaxed... very 80's. And the sound quality is amazing from this early digital recording. May revisit this one. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: New Frontier

Donald s'est pris pour Stevie Wonder sur tout l'album et ça a très bien marché sur moi. Coup dur pour Stevie qui après avoir été enfermé dans la cave de Robert pendant des années est aujourd'hui enfermé dans son studio dont la seule issue est bloquée par les griffes d'Eddie Mitchell.

Je suis en train de préparer une attaque informatique de très haut niveau afin de pousser les serveurs du générateur au crash. Je suis prêt à tout pour me débarasser de ces 1001 albums qui me pourrissent la vie.

If that album had to be summarized into one little thing, it would be the chorus of the title-track, a parody of the sort of jingle you often hear in soft-rock / lounge pop radio stations. The effect of such a trick is unmistakably evocative for the listener. Yet at the same time, the line between earnestness and postmodernist irony is somewhat blurred: it all comes from the *pitch-perfect* manner the recreation of that sort of jingle sounds, as if Fagen was here patenting the template of all the other cheesy jingles of soft-rock radio stations that would grace the airwaves for many years to come. The thing is, where is the line between "functional" and sincere music when you do something like that? Donald Fagen, having just decided with Walter Becker to call it quits regarding Steely Dan, was in a decidedly strange place in 1982. The neurotic perfectionism that had mired the sessions for *Gaucho* had taken its toll on him, and yet here he was, being *even more* perfectionist for his first solo LP (see that Wikipedia article about how complex those sessions recorded through nascent digital technology were). The end result of this neurosis would be a long-lasting depression that would see Fagen sit out the rest of the eighties. Quite ironical given how Steely Dan had anticipated some of that decade's most striking musical aesthetics, for better or for worse. Likewise, the intent behind the songs' themes and lyrics on *The Nightfly* is rather ambiguous. Fagen said he used as little irony as he could for the lyrics of this record. But the former Steely Dan just can't help blurring that other line, it's a second nature for him. When the lonesome protagonist of the title-track, so aptly represented through the record's wonderful cover, takes calls from lunatics in the middle of the night, the irony of the situation quickly catches up with him: "Thanks for calling / I wait all night for calls like this". Tell me that's not *irony* about the modern means of communication, Donald, even if said irony is not used for cynicism's sake, and only to depict a very personal take on the looniest examples of the "American" mindset, which actually hearkens back as far as to the singer-songwriter's childhood, when he felt as isolated as that grown-up, titular "Nightfly". Those themes may be loosely considered as "autobiographical", it's true (Donald listened to those sorts of radio shows as a teenager). Yet the way they're handled here does not suggest the mood of a *confessional* record. It's first and foremost "biting", to use the effect that Fagen wanted to avoid when writing those songs. Speaking of that thin line between confession and the irony that might prevent it from happening, the true heart of the title-track is not its chorus, by the way: it's its bridge, where Fagen enters the mind of the titular "nightfly" the tune is about, delving into that late night radio host's dejected thoughts about how lonely and depressed he feels. A lot of the album is actually about that: loneliness and feelings of alienation. At first glance, the opener "I.G.Y." may sound like an optimistic prediction of what the future would look like from the fifties' vantage point, but the fact that this dreamland future filled with space stations and express shuttles under the Atlantic never came to pass brings another layer to those lyrics. The song references '76 as the year all those things should have happened happen--but by 1982 you knew there was no way that future could occur in the short-term run. As a result of this discrepancy between dream and reality, it's the alienation and self-delusion of the song's narrator, here feeling way too optimistic, that ends up striking the listener. And just as other reviewers pointed out, such discrepancy is cruelly underlined by how crisp and glossy the digitally-recorded music sounds. That track, just like the rest of the album, sounds nothing like the fifties. And as a consequence, the nostalgia that is diplayed here sounds like a simulacrum of sorts. Rarely elevator music has been so "weighted" by so many contradictory affects. Except in a Steely Dan record, of course. Alienation is also a theme that runs throughout "New Frontier", whose protagonist attempts to seduce a girl in a fallout shelter, of all places. See also "The Goodbye Look", about an American expatriate living in a foreign seaside resort who realizes he's not relevant there anymore. And irony is strong in "Walk Between Raindrops", Fagen's version of "We'll Meet Again". When you're done listening to the album, the conflation of those picturesque vignettes is nothing short of bitter. This would not neccesarily be a problem had it been Fagen's original plan. But when you read that said plan was to record an album that would be both more "innocent" and straightforward than the LPs Steely Dan had released so far, one wonders if Fagen didn't botch the whole thing somehow. And if this is the reason why "The Nightfly" sounds so unsure in its overall intentions... What about the music, then? Well, just like for most Steely Dan albums, it took me a few listens to go beyond the layers of cheese, and so appreciate how affecting some of the vocal parts, arrangements, instrumentations and jazzy chord successions can be sometimes. Not that those flourishes always work for the best, though. As a matter of fact, and apart from opener "I.G.Y.", the first side of this record still sounds like a huge borefest to me, and I don't even really have the energy to quote the names of those duds--I just know there's an inconsequential cover of a Leiber/Stoller-penned song, plus that oh-so-terribly lethargic ballad, "Maxine", whose jazzy modulations sound so forced and "calculated" that the whole thing comes up as a void and uninteresting *exercice de style* (a threat that looms over all Steely Dan's albums, to be honest--but here exacerbated to the umpteenth degree). Side two, with all those other tracks I've already mentioned in my review, fares musically better in comparison--from the New Wave-influenced (?) synth rhythm patterns of "New Frontier" to the enticing marimbas of "The Goodbye Look"-- even if the record's glossy production values and pristine multi-tracked performances have a potentially "stifling" effect as well, even on the good songs (once again, a potential drawback for all Steely Dan LPs). So here we go. I like the overall "concept" of this record, as ambiguous as it is. I love the cover. But that doesn't necessarily mean that the album works, and that everything in it is "essential", far from it. I'm not gonna echo Steve Albini's harsh words against Steely Dan. But I can understand why someone like him, with very different requisistes when it comes to musical aesthetics, can feel so much contempt for this type of music. My position towards the Dan and Fagen is far more benevolent, I imagine. But it's not because I try to keep an open mind that I'm gonna be sold on *everything* those guys ever did. Thanks for listening to me here. I know you don't necessarily "wait all night" to hear stuff like this. But I appreciate you took the time to listen, though. 😉 We're all "alienated" to some sort of degree. Yet even when you're tackling those topics, the best you can do is to say something that can feel honest, lively or interesting about it. I don't know if I succeeded here. All I know is that, *to me* Fagen only succeeded doing this in *discrete* part of this LP, and not during the whole thing. 3/5 for the purposes of this list (8/10 for more general and "objective" purposes: 5 + 3). Number of albums left to review: 567 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 209 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 102 (including this one--even though I doubt there will be any room left for it at the end). Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more essential to me): 126

Interesting sound, but kind of forgettable.

One of the plenty go-to albums for audiophile geeks, The Nightfly represents something new for one-half of one of the more divisive duos in music. Using his childhood as inspiration, Donald Fagen explores new terrain whilst keeping a grip on his perfectionist tendencies and mostly succeeds in that regard. Like most of the Dan's material, whatever opinions come which way, it is streamlined and handed with a delicacy and finesse that only Fagen has and this album deserves whatever praise it can gather. Favorites: I.G.Y., Ruby Baby, New Frontier, The Goodbye Look.

J'ai liké la première

encore un album qui se demande ce qu’il fait la

Straight forward Fagen, not great and not horrible... 🤷

Feels like I'm just listening to more Steely Dan, which isn't necessarily a bad thing or a good thing. I guess I wanted something more than what I got. This was fine and easy enough listening, but nothing was striking about it.

There are differences in this music and that of Steely Dan, but I can't imagine they are notable enough for a casual fan who hasn't heard this album and would need to hear it may notice. Like Steely Dan albums, this is not a bad album and is perfectly constructed with nary a missed note in the studio. The lyrics are slightly less obtuse than those on Steely Dan albums yet are wry enough to make legions of money managers chuckle silently as they are reminded of how smart this music makes them feel because they get the reference. Every bit of feeling has been wrung out of the music in an effort to ensure the perfect sound has been achieved. I enjoyed the back half of this album more than the front half, as it seems like it is the less sterile side. While I do like Steely Dan, I can't seem to figure out why this album would need to be heard by music listeners. It's well done. It also doesn't feel like as much of a departure from Steely Dan's superior music as it claims to be.

Sounds just like steely Dan!

There are a couple good tunes on here, but generally feels like hollow Steely Dan.

This is as good as any of the other Steely Dan records we've listened to. I was surprised again by how many songs i recognized.

I didn't like this nearly as much as I like the Steely Dan albums I've heard and have rated here. It was fine, but I don't see a time I would choose to listen to this over one of the better options.

This album was like a bias test for me because I’m not sure if I went from “this is bland, inoffensive yacht rock” to “this is pretty mellow and fun” because the tracks started to get better or because I realized that this guy was one of the founders of steely Dan after about 3-4 tracks. Looking back though I still found it somewhat bland the same way some people (losers) critics actual steely Dan music.

Smooooooooth

Part of the Wikipedia article describes this as among the best-recorded albums of all time. This seems like such a backhanded compliment - like saying your ugly house is made of great materials, or that your new partner has a "fantastic personality." It all feels slightly like what Patrick Bateman would play after Huey Lewis & the News. Nothing to complain about but not much for me to sink my teeth into.

Some cool stuff (New Frontier is fun) but lots that was too meh

Steely Dan singer attempts a Jazz album

Nice album but not a stand out. Very smooth. Not as edgy as the cover. Dinner party music.

Jazzy, poppy, pleasant enough, and honestly a bit boring. It was like a jazz album with a dull and cheesy 80's pop beat underneath it, and I think that kinda ruined the whole thing a bit. If it had stuck to its roots and just tried to be a jazz album I might have enjoyed it a bit more. And yet in this form it manages to be overproduced and still quite dull. It's not exactly bad though, just didn't blow me away. Favourite: The Nightfly

It's cheese. Total cheese. But it's tasty, stinky, mature cheese

Very smooth, jazz infused solo album, which also bears the imprint of Steely Dan. Some good tracks, particuarly I.G.Y and New Frontier, but many of the songs border on the bland and too smooth

Mid....as I think the kids say now

Nice cover, good background music to work by

Quite enjoyable

ótima vibe, gostoso e fácil de escutar. Não é bem minha vibe, mas realmente curti a audição. Pontos altos pra "Maxine" 3/5

Fails to provide a meaningful impression.

Nice

Perfectly pleasant, but not exciting yacht rock. 3/5

easy listening artist

I wanted to like it but I’m not absorbing anything. It’s the feeling where I enjoy parts during the listening process but after it’s all done it’s gone. Highlights: -

Weder sneaky noch ein Masterpiece, wie der Kritiker vom Wall Street Journal meint, für Fagansche Verhältnisse überraschend uninteressant sogar. Gnädige drei Sterne.

It was fine

The Nightfly is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Donald Fagen - at the time a past member of the group Steely Dan. This successful jazzy pop rock album was certified platinum in both the US and the UK. It is a classic pop album from the 80's with hints of nostalgia for the late 50's when jazz was more popular. I enjoyed this album, but it didn't blow me away. However, it does have me interested in listening to Steely Dan albums.

I was kind of shocked to see the global rating on this one cause it's honestly not even bad. It's mostly calming and the instrumentals on some of the songs are pretty fun. The album cover doesn't really accurately represent the music, though. Fave track(s): Maxine, The Nightfly

Jazz pop

Nice Album but nothing special bar one song

A decent album that felt like a cookie cutter version of steely Dan given he is on half of them. Usually when people make solo stuff their music sounds a little different but Fagen stayed true to the steely Dan style which isn’t a bad thing since I like them but I found it similar to their music but not as good. 6.9/10

A personal favorite. Sounds a lot like Steely Dan, of course. New Frontier was always one of my favorites on this album, but Ruby Baby sticks with me a lot.

Yeah, not bad.

Isto jedna laganica od albuma, al de zamisli stavit takav font na album cover. Nisam znao, a i kako ću znat kad nisam previše upučen u taj bend, ali je bio član Steely Dan-a. Zapravo glavni? Ali da je prva stvar s albuma banger? To jeste tačno. Općenito zabavan, ritmičan album s premazima jazza. 3.5.

I've never listened to any of Donald Fagen's solo stuff, but am familiar with his work with Steely Dan. This is his first solo album, which was made after Steely Dan broke up. It has a lot of the same characteristics as a Steely Dan record, but doesn't have as much of the "rock" sensibilities. This record is heavier to the funky/jazzy pop rock sound, sometimes termed "yacht rock". Heavy to piano and synth as well as brass instruments. It has the ability to make the listener bob their head to the beat. Donald Fagen's vocals are smooth and layered perfectly with the funky music backing. Overall, this is a good record, not phenomenal or anything, but I didn't mind listening to it, just wouldn't rush out to buy it (I have the same feelings towards Steely Dan records... They're good, just not phenomenal). Favourite songs: I.G.Y., Green Flower Street, Ruby Baby, New Frontier Least favourite songs: The Nightfly, Maxine, 3/5

I enjoyed a lot of this. A lot of the writing reminded me of Billy Joel.

Hints of Stevie Wonder, The Police, Sheena Easton and some surprising funky bass made this an unexpected listen.

Reminds me of billy Joel, somehow has the same style and similar voice. The album is quitte easygoing and enjoyable. Nothing special but I enjoyed it. Favourite songs: - I.G.Y. - New frontier

Not a huge Steely Dan fan and this was alright; sounds very similar to Fagen's band work for obvious reasons. I recognize "New Frontier" and hadn't heard it in many years; love that this 1001 list sometimes gives you little nuggets every now and then of songs you haven't heard in forever. Very easily listen and kinda reminds me of music you'd hear in a department store. 6/10.

Some tracks worked, some didn't for me. The first few sounded almost too pretentious and corny, but I liked the last 3 or so ones

Fun little album but don't think it should be on the list. Thought it was going to be jazz but not at all.

Quirky album. Jazzy and poppy, reminds me of that "Pazz and Jop" annual poll just for the weird blend of genres. Never heard of Mr. Fagen, but he's quite alright. A few tracks on here that I dug, but nothing worth screaming about. Favorite tracks: Ruby Baby, New Frontier. Album art: Really like this picture, nails the '50s nighthawk aesthetic (better than the recent Tom Waits album I might add). Got my hopes up a little too high, but still a cool one. 3/5

Heel oud, beetje saai, 3*

3/8, 38%

Weinig opmerkingen over dit album. Was oké

It's good. Very laid back

Cool!

Not great but something a bit different.

Not bad actually, a weird vibe that I'm not particularly familiar with. Wouldn't add it to my person playlists but fine to have on in the background.

I'm not that into Steely Dan, but this album feels like the best elements of their sound and style. I guess Fagen is 99% of Steely's essence? Huh, kinda seems like why even bother going solo? This is just a Steely Dan album with only Fagen's name on it. I'm enjoying it more than I thought I would though, and that's probably because these songs are all brand new to me and haven't been played to death by classic rock radio, unlike Ricki Don't Lose The Number or Reeling in the Years have. I love this album cover, it's a spectacular photograph, it evokes a mood perfectly fitting the album title.

Soft and warm easy listening. Pop with groovy jazz elements here and there. Kind of ok, but also a bit boring

Opening song, fuck yeah! You got me, I love this sound. The 80s were the best Era. You can fight me on that. This just makes me happy!

IGY and New Frontier stand out as obviously catchy and enjoyable examples of Fagen's pop-jazz sound. Though they are definitely strong, the rest of the album blends together... nothing great but nothing bad either. Feels like background music at that point.

Strange, different, interesting, otherworldly. A true jazz-pop album - I'm not sure how to feel. Very slickly produced. There is some funk involved but sometimes it comes off a bit like smooth-jazzy "elevator music" nonetheless. Perhaps I should listen to his latest album, where after three albums he changes to a yatch-rock/R&B style. Wow that was bizarre, sometimes the vocals are like a barbershop quartet idk

Kinda groovy. Good rhythm. 3.5

Smooth and plesant but nothing amazing.

Genre: Sophisti-Pop 3/5 Donald Fagen's post-lounge epic The Nightfly, one of the first fully digitally recorded albums ever, is a perfectionist's wet dream. Sophisti-Pop, essentially a snootier take on Jazz Pop and Pop Soul, is the perfect lane for a guy like Donald Fagen to find a niche in. His earlier forays with Steely Dan had the same markings of perfectionism, but this album here doesn't have a single click out of place. Its crunchy, dissonant chord progressions, its aggressive use of double- or triple-tracking vocals, and its penchant for full, heavy arrangements, make this an interesting listen. Unfortunately, it sits in the same sonic drivers' seat for the entire project, and doesn't step outside of its neatly constructed comfort zone at all. The strenuous effort which was poured into the record is not lost. Hours of overdubbing and mixing are quite evident in the final product. The album sounds great, mixed and engineered flawlessly by the ex-Steely Dan-ites, but it doesn't make the music itself that much more interesting. Songs like I.G.Y. and the title track are both decent examples of what the genre is capable of, but is dripping in too much of itself, never becoming an engaging experience and only sounding of how proud of itself it is. The layers are each so thick and produced that it almost serves better as an example of what good production can sound like in a digital setting, but never quite reaches the "very-enjoyable album" mark. Incredibly slick, and annoyingly so, but not very exciting. Should interest those who are looking for what it sounds like to be this far up your own ass.

This album sounds good, but it doesn't feel like there's a lot to it as far as groundbreaking music goes. It definitely has some of the Steely Dan sound that Fagen was instrumental in forming. Overall, it comes off more as an easy-listening album than an album that pushed the boundaries of music in its time. It's not bad at all, in fact it's quite pleasant, but I don't see much else here. I'm on the third song and I'm already bored (update: as of song 5 I am still bored and about to give up on this album). As always, it's a super bad sign when the coolest thing about an album is its cover 3/5

Smooth and nostalgic for me.

Nightfly is a pleasant and soulful collection of intimate music. The only weaknesses are Fagen's vocals (rather unoriginal and often stretched) and the melodies (rather derivative). (6/10) FT: I.G.Y.

Not really for me but I get it.

Ah miten miellyttävä jazzahtava poppis-avausraita! Sen sijaan ainakin Ruby Baby aika itseään toistava. Sanoisin 3/5, vähän epätasainen kokonaisuus.

Agradable.

Alez wylosowalo zagadke, pierwszy solowy krazek pana Fagena, ktorego zna sie glownie z duetu steely danowego, plyta z 82, wiec rok po pierwszym rozejsciu sie w rozne strony bandy, wiec muzycznie przypomina to tworczosc grupowa, zwlaszcza ze wzgledu na to, ze wiekszosc muzykow zangazowanych w projekt the nighfly byla juz slyszana na poprzednich materialach danowych, wiec pomimo tego, ze sluchalem pierwszy raz odczuwalem lekkie deja vu, ktore sa tylko potegowane przez Fagenowe wokale, nie zabraklo takze doszlifowania, bo album ma 38 minut, a nagrania trwaly 8 miesiecy, wiec tutaj rowniez po staremu, wiec czemu nie oczarowala tak samo jak starsze wydania steely dana, zaznaczam starsze, bo reunionowe juz nie brzmia tak samo jak te z lat 70, o ile o tamtych reunionowych myslalem, ze brzmia jak taki zdziadzialy kombak z tym samym brzmieniem 20 lat pozniej, tak lirycznie to zdziadzienie juz slychac na nightflyu, ktory poza openingowym I.G.Y nie ma w sobie czegos do zapamietania, niby koncept calego krazka jako powrotu do czasow mlodosci i sielankowego zycia hamerykanskiego w cieniu zimnej wojny brzmi calkiem ciekawie, ale jego przelozenie na album nudzi, bo ilez mozna sluchac o pieknych dziewczynach w schronach i radiowcach puszczajacych jazzy po nocach, wiec nie ma tutaj typowej dla duetu aronii i przegranych opowiesci, jak teraz slucham to nawet same melodie wydaja sie byc o wiele bardziej popowo jazzowe, odchodzace od rokowo gitarowych brzmien, ktore wnosil Becker, bo The Nightfly jest wyprodukowany przez pana odpowiedzialnego za reszte dyskografii duetu, pana Katza, wiec nawet tutaj roznic nie widac, chyba ze wziac pod uwage, ze jest to jeden z pierwszych w pelni digitalowo masterowanych albumow, co pewnie tez mialo jakis wplyw na finalne brzmienie przy takim dazeniu do perfekcji dzwieku jakie Fagen zawsze idealizowal, zatem dowiedzialem sie, ze ten duet dzialal dobrze za sprawa obu panow i nikt tu nikogo nie prowadzil za nos, na plejke leci openingowy I.G.Y

Better than Steely Dan

Bouncy, inoffensive pop, just not quick got the hook to be catchy

just more steely dan tho

Slick pop. 6/10

Prefs: I.G.Y., New Frontier, The Goodbye Look Moins pref: Ruby Baby

At night I fly by albums like these

I always used to think this wasn't as good as any of the Steely Dan albums owing to its absence of extremely tasteful guitar playing. I like it more these days (and picked it up cheap on vinyl in Tokyo) but it still doesn't have enough guitars. (3.5 stars)

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would, in a kind of ironic cheesy nostalgic 80s vibe.

Pop tranquilo. No destacando especialmente

Alright, very 80's American soul wallpaper.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: The gash

Very chill laid back style but it brought back memories of that time.

I didn’t mind it, I thought it was pretty pleasant listening. But I felt like it was a poor man’s Steely Dan or Hall & Oates so I was left wanting to listen to them instead.

3.5, extremely enjoyable

Mix of old skat style with 80s synth and piano

Agradable.

Completely new to me. Might be more to it on repeat listens, and I enjoyed it enough that I will give that a go, but seemed more “blandly pleasant” than “essential”?

Jazz rock que segueix la ruta dels últims àlbums d'Steely Dan, tot i que jo crec que sense la solvència que en aquells es mostrava. Un disc duret, on costa entrar, i que no sempre està a l'alçada de les expectatives

A bit too 80's but otherwise solid

Perfectly average. Good morning album, but that’s about it.
