Steely Dan - Can’t Buy A Thrill
Steely Dan's Can't Buy A Thrill reviewed: a little yacht rocky, but great classic rock and a chill listen, from someone who once thought Steely Dan was no good.
The verdict
For some reason I remember vividly a car ride where my dad was blasting Steely Dan and my mom yelled at him for it because she didn’t like it - I never really understood why. Now I think it was purely a volume issue, but my little kid mind thought it was because Steely Dan was just no good. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Is it a bit yacht rocky? Perhaps. But it’s also great classic rock that today makes for a pretty chill listen whether you’re yacht inclined or not. I didn’t really have any gripes except my personal distaste for piano synth solos, but this is nowhere near The Doors level so it’s cool with me.
