Our Take

Buckle up, lads and lasses, because we're about to take a ride on the cosmic coaster of Steely Dan's sophomore effort, "Countdown To Ecstasy." This album is like stumbling into a groovy 70s jazz club where the cocktails are flowing, the saxophones are wailing, and the rhymes are as tight as your grandma's Sunday roast.

From the moment "Bodhisattva" kicks off with its luscious guitar licks and infectious groove, you know you're in for a wild ride. The Steely Dan boys, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, are like a pair of mad scientists concocting a musical potion that's equal parts rock, jazz, and sheer unadulterated genius.

Tracks like "Razor Boy" and "Your Gold Teeth" showcase the band's slick production and killer songwriting skills. It's like being wrapped in a warm, velvety blanket of sound whilst sipping on a fine glass of scotch - classy, sophisticated, and oh so intoxicating.

But it's not all smooth sailing on this musical journey. Songs like "The Boston Rag" and "King of the World" take unexpected twists and turns, keeping you on your toes and begging for more.

So, if you're looking for an album that's equal parts sophisticated and sassy, "Countdown To Ecstasy" is the one for you. It's like a whirlwind romance with a mysterious stranger - you never know what's coming next, but you can bet it's going to be one hell of a ride. Cheers, darlings. Steely Dan has done it again.
