Free Music Notes for Can't Buy a Thrill
Free Music Review: I still only have the vinyl. Two copies actually....
Hit: 5 Stars
I was introduced to the album at the age of two. My dad had two copies of this album. I made several dubs of it to cassette, back when those were actually used. It still remains one of my favorite albums. And I only listen to it straight from the record anymore. It just sounds better. If you are so lucky to find it on vinyl, pick it up!
Can't Buy a Thrill Poster
Songwriters Walter Becker and Donald Fagen launched Steely Dan with a seductive, poker-faced 1972 debut as smoothly accessible in its music as it was elusive in its thematic concerns. The opening "Do It Again" snagged swift commercial success as one of the most mysterious pop hits in history, a sultry rock cha-cha that chronicled a series of harrowing catastrophes far removed from the reheated love songs and pro forma countercultural rebellion of the day. Though the core band boasted two formidable guitarists, Jeff Baxter and Denny Dias, it was the bloom of Fagen's keyboards and his reedy, smart-ass vocals that carried Thrill light years beyond modal, blues-based rock. That said, an enduring highlight remains the furious six-string fantasia of "Reelin' in the Years," spiked by Elliot Randall's downright historic solos, at once dour and giddy in its indictment of a poser, while "Dirty Work" (featuring short-lived, nominal lead singer David Palmer) offers a decidedly adult vignette of adultery. There isn't a weak track here, astonishing, considering how much growth future Dan albums would display. --Sam SutherlandPop Music CDs
