Steely Dan - New release / June 10th

Hey Ben, I could have a defective disc.

The new album is much better than "Two..". It's a bit like they stopped concentrating on their golf swing and just started playing. Fagan and Becker are immense talents (with a great sense of deadpan humor), but it seemed that the "Two.." recordings were too 'tense', or some such thing.. "Everything.." features the added benefit of a Walter Becker lead vocal ("Slang of Ages"). If I dare say so, this may be the first Dan tune in years that would be right at home in a dusty bar...

Onhwy61..just checked my "Pixeleen" at 1:18..no thump. Do you have the DVD-A, or the redbook CD??

I have the redbook CD. I looked at the song's digital waveform using an editor and there appears to be a fairly strong digital clip right at that point, but what I'm hearing doesn't sound like typical digital overload. There's no raspy distortion, but instead a very strong, very low frequency thump. When I first heard the thumping I thought it was construction truck hitting a pothole while passing by my house.

I don't hear the thump here. Not at 1:18 into or left of track 7.
