Following the breakup of Steely Dan, Fagen set out to record this solo album. The album dabbles in soul, funk and jazz, but the early digital recording equipment used (one of the first albums to be recorded entirely digitally, apparently) combined with its perfectionist engineers seemed to serve to suck out a lot of the spontaneity and humanity that those genres usually embody.
That being said: these do work just nicely as good catchy pop songs.
