I love Steely Dan. Aja is one of my favorite albums. Not the biggest fan of their other stuff as I typically like to listen front-to-back, but they do have some great singles outside of Aja.
I’ve also been listening to a lot of Kid A recently. Man, I still don’t know what that record is trying to say. But it’s definitely something. In Rainbows is one I’m willing to skip around on a bit, and Reckoner has been a standby for me lately as well.

Aja is a great one for sure. It’s sad that so many people don’t seem willing to invest the time to listen to an album all the way through these days, only streaming the hits. They are missing out.

Absolutely. I still remember the first time I gave a full album a real chance as a kid. Awesome experience and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I think the first ones were Atom Heart Mother by Floyd and Illinoise by Sufjan Stevens.
That said, I think the attitude among musicians toward writing cohesive albums has suffered a bit in recent years. Hard to make money if you don’t write stuff that gets people interested within the time it takes to watch a TikTok or two. I have a lot of respect for artists who are willing to write new, creative, long-form music in this climate of instant gratification.

I just signed on as a critic with metal-temple.com a week ago and I’m working on a review of this excellent album.
