Two Against Nature, indeed. The tack is instantly familiar: a musical\/lyrical reconciliation of Monk and Newman, with familiar harmonic flourishes, nimble studio chops and an icy, world-class cool, as wilfully insulated from hip-hop and dance as it was from disco and Top 40. Less concerned with melodic hooks than a canny sophistication of mood and manner, Becker and Fagen never let a trite melody get in the way of a good story, whether their protagonists are plotting some nefarious obliquity (\"Gaslighting Abby\"), Southern-fried incest (the deliciously funky \"Cousin DuPree\") or bleakly confronting dashed expectations (\"What a Shame About Me\"). A little more musically languorous perhaps, its trademark cynicism now undercut by hints of sadness and regret, this is nonetheless a Steely Dan album worthy of the name, and like the best of them, one whose subtle charms reveal themselves in surprising ways. --Jerry McCulley END\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58233254707574,"sku":"0743216219025","price":9.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_2363909_13446053.jpg?v=1783540300","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0743216219025-two-against-nature","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
