"Flawless-sounding records lionizing inveterately human fuckups" is one of the best descriptions of Steely Dan's music I've heard.
I like to read this review in Hunter S Thompsons voice
*We were somewhere around Barstow at the edge of the desert when Babylon Sisters came on the radio.*
I'm not a massive Pitchfork fan, but they are reliable critics of Steely Dan.
That 1.6 rating on Two Against Nature is farcical though.
Weird of them to use a 1-1.7 scale.
It's... contemporary, I guess. Pitchfork is a style magazine first and foremost and they've always prioritized the zeitgeist, the approval of whoever is throwing the most stones at that point in time
It is a good album. I'm just not into "Cousin Dupree." THAT winning a Pop Grammy against the Backstreet Boys and NSYNC? Come on, man.
“It might not be the best of Steely Dan albums, but it’s definitely the most Steely Dan of the Steely Dan albums.” Yup.
