Free Music Notes for The Definitive CollectionFree Music Review: Retro Hit: 5 StarsThis music is soft rock from the 70's. Steely Dan had mutiple hits in the 70's and they are compiled into this cd. If you enjoyed their songs in the 70's then you would do yourself a favor if you purchase this cd.
Free Music Review: very satisfying Hit: 4 StarsI had been trying to find this cd at a reasonable price for quite some time. It was a gift for my brother, we were both vey pleased.
Free Music Review: Definitive Collection Hit: 5 Stars Some might complain that Steely Dan already has several music compilations of their best hits, but I found this collection to be a particularly good one.
Free Music Review: Mediocre tracklist, GREAT remasters Hit: 4 StarsThis collection is far and away NOT definitive. The track list consists of only a handful of radio hits and leaves out many gems (No Steely Dan compilation should leave out Doctor Wu under any circumstances!!). That being said, the latest remastering on these is phenomenal!
Unlike the 1998-2000 remastered versions that had too much treble and not enough bass, these versions balance clarity with warmth very well! There is plenty of treble, but also enough low and medium range to keep the sound nice and warm. The instrument separation is likewise excellent. I already have all of these songs on their original albums, but I went ahead and got this collection anyway simply because the remastered versions are such high quality.
This is the first time that songs from the Katy Lied album actually sound "right." There are fewer high treble artifacts on Jeff Porcaro's cymbals on Black Friday and Bad Sneakers, for example, after this remaster. I hope all of the Steely Dan collection gets released in this high quality soon!
Free Music Review: The Definitive Collection ~ Steely Dan Hit: 5 StarsThis is the best collection of Steely Dan hits that I have seen so far as it spans their whole career and has most of the really good stuff on it.
