Steely Dan - New release / June 10th


Are there any other huge Steely Dan fans out there anxiously awaiting the new release "Everything Must Go"?

I really liked "Two Against Nature" due to the heavy jazz influence on it and I have heard two tracks from the new album. One entitled "Blue Beach" sounds very good. This should provide a nice soundtrack for the summer of '03.

Comments?

Nobody at all heard the low frequency thumps I asked about earlier? On "Pixaleen" a big one comes at 1min18secs. I don't hear them at all on my bedroom system that rolls off the bass below 50Hz, but on the main system (which goes down strongly to 25Hz) the thumps come thru very strong.
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??
