    The Album Review Club - Week #196 (page 1316) - Aja - Steely Dan

    They didn't do it to sneer at anyone or show off. They couldn't give a shit what anybody else thought and it certainly was not a vanity project. They just made their own unique and completely original music.Millions got it and enjoyed it thankfully,including me and many critics and musicians...

    Rather appropriately the late great Walter Becker wrote some hilarious liner notes to Spinal Taps 1992 album Break Like the Wind !

    It was an absolutely superb cross and a wonderful finish.

    Certainly the music was slicker, jazzier, etc.I know some fans prefer the earlier albums but the thing was that they had to move on from them records and take it to another stage of development. I am not sure about there being less lyrical bite, certainly Gaucho was extremely bleak lyrically and...

    That is a great review and you make some really good points. It is great that people a lot younger than me are prepared to commit to listening to the Dan and it sounds like your efforts have been rewarded because time has allowed you to appreciate such a stupendous record. That is a great...

    Absolutely! Thankfully we are not alone, it was 61 on Rolling Stone magazine's greatest 500 albums of all time list and appears very high up in many others.

    The first three tracks of Royal Scam are sensational then a couple of slightly weaker, though still very good, songs followed by three more classics to finish.

    20 | Bernardo Silva - 2025/26

    That just about sums up his last 2 years ! He WAS quality but hasn't been for a long long time and to make him captain is another example of Guardiolas terrible decision making of late, like the situations with Savinho, Marmoush, Bobb and letting Grealish go to name just a few !
