I prefer Fagen’s more sarcastic work with Steely Dan to his more crushing lyrics here, but it’s hard to deny how good this sounds. Incredible, timeless production and leaning into jazz was a good call. B+

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
