Further strides for Fagen & Becker in this album, following their already remarkable debut. From this record, it becomes increasingly difficult to pinpoint lackluster tracks or dips in quality; we are already perilously close to perfection. Eight songs, each more beautiful than the last, each with its own spark, where the meticulous pop of the band perfectly blends all possible genres of music—from the "Americana" that explodes in the stunning refrain of "The Boston Rag" to the irresistible R&B/Black itch of "My Old School," passing through the Jazz of "Your Gold Teeth." Often, all these influences are actually mixed together, creating a unique style, a trademark of these two musical "POP" geniuses. If I had to choose one standout track from this album, I would say "Show Biz Kids"; that song drives me crazy. Sublime. more
