Music reviews of Circus Money
Music Review: The Litmus Test
Rating: 5 Stars
One could argue that if you don't like this album, you're not a true Dan fan. Yeah, I said it.
All the elements are here: the biting, bittersweet musings, the face-melting musicianship, the reference quality audio production, sexy back-up singers, smoky sax solos, Keith Carlock, very expensive single coil pickups going into very expensive amps, etc. The Dandom is in full bloom. But what, you don't like Walter's voice? Come on, he's got a great voice that has an intriguing timbre going on. Stop with the comparisons to Fagen already. Just the fact that Becker sings results in an even deeper and enriching Dan universe to peer into.
Some of these songs are achingly beautiful, just give 'em a listen. Never have such tragic characters moved through a smoother soundscape. The first 5 tracks are like a suite that's at once emotionally devastating yet soulful and vibrant.
SD will never be what it was in the 70's, but why would you want that anyways?
I say let's celebrate the fact that Becker and Fagen launched Steely Dan 2.0 and are still around making great music today, touring, releasing SD & solo albums, playing with a slammin' band, and generally maintaining a semblence of class in the biz.
There's plenty of disposable music out there to get your sugar high on, and musicians who obviously care so deeply about craftsmanship and quality are not a dime a dozen. There are tons of people who claim to be musicians, but very few walk the walk like the guys and gals on this album.
Description of Circus Money
It's been 14 years since Steely Dan co-founder Walter Becker's last (and first) solo album was released. Now, at long last, the wait is finally over for the second. Circus Money finds Becker's sardonic sensibility completely intact and each of the album's songs, inflected with jazz, reggae, and rock phrasing, is a masterpiece of musical understatement and lyrical nuance.General CDs
