Free Music Notes for Two Against Nature
Free Music Review: Number 5 in my top 10 albums of all time
Hit: 5 Stars
Here I am, over eight years post-release, letting all the world know the glory of this album. I first saw them perform tunes from 2vN on a PBS special. Needless to say, it's classic Steely Dan at its core, but it has a much jazzier and perhaps softer overtone. The lyrics are clever and have numerous possible interpretations. The sound quality is fabulous. Don't rely on 30 second clips to make your call on this album, listen to the whole thing with a bottle of scotch whiskey by your side and tell me you don't love it.
Two Against Nature Poster
Never so much a band as the slyly crafted specter of one, Steely Dan's mid-1990s "return" to live performance was as surprising as it was perverse. They'd previously toured only once, round about the era of Watergate, pet rocks, and Shaft. A half-decade after their concert comeback and a mere 19 years after Gaucho seemingly closed out their recording career, the jazz-pop conceit of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen deliberately dropped back into a recording landscape where they weren't so much seasoned vets as alien ambassadors. Two Against Nature, indeed. The tack is instantly familiar: a musical/lyrical reconciliation of Monk and Newman, with familiar harmonic flourishes, nimble studio chops, and an icy, world-class cool, as willfully insulated from hip-hop and techno as it was from disco and Top 40. Less concerned with melodic hooks than a canny sophistication of mood and manner, Becker and Fagen never let a trite melody get in the way of a good story, whether their protagonists are plotting some nefarious obliquity ("Gaslighting Abby"), Southern-fried incest (the deliciously funky "Cousin DuPree"), or bleakly confronting dashed expectations ("What a Shame About Me"). A little more musically languorous perhaps, its trademark cynicism now undercut by hints of sadness and regret, this is nonetheless a Steely Dan album worthy of the name, and like the best of them, one whose subtle charms reveal themselves in surprising ways. -Jerry McCulleyPop Music CDs
