After a 20-year layoff, Steely Dan returned in 2000 with TWO AGAINST NATURE. In the face of that double-decade layoff, the three-year wait for EVERYTHING MUST GO seems like a drop in the bucket. Like its predecessor, EVERYTHING harkens back to the classic '70s Dan jazzy pop sound, with some minor adjustments. The bluesy Walter Becker guitar leads that were a key element of TWO AGAINST NATURE are even more prevalent here (Becker even takes a lead vocal this time around), and the earlier album's harmonically simpler song structures and arrangements are pared down a bit further here.
Other than that, it's blessedly business-as-usual for Becker and his accomplice Donald Fagen. When they're not looking askance at drug culture, the digital era, and the onset of old age, they're waxing satirical about sexual/social dynamics, and on the title track, providing the perfect, biting-but-poignant anthem for the post-9/11, post-Internet boom economic tumble. Guest appearances by jazz hotshots pianist Bill Charlap and saxman Chris Potter add melodic interest, but it's Becker and Fagen's gloriously twisted worldview that remains the fulcrum of the action.

Specifications:
Steely Dan is no stranger to the DVD-Audio format. Warner Music Vision originally released ‘Two Against Nature’ on DVD-Audio in the U.K. during August 2002. During January 2003, Warner released Donald Fagen’s critically acclaimed solo album ‘The Nightfly’ on DVD-Audio (Fagen’s second solo album ‘Kamakiriad’ also debuts on DVD-Audio in 2003).
Grammy Award winning recording engineer, Elliot Scheiner, whose previous DVD-Audio mixing and engineering credits include R.E.M.’s ‘Reveal’ and Faith Hill’s ‘Cry’ (read HFR’s review), is responsible for the 5.1 mix on ‘Everything Must Go’. The DVD-A album includes an exclusive thirteen minute short film piece entitled ‘Steely Dan Confessions’, which finds Becker and Fagen touring the night life of Las Vegas with ‘Rita’ the famous cab driver, from the U.S. hit TV series ‘Taxicab Confessions’. The DVD-Audio album includes Photo Gallery, Song Lyrics, Discography and Production Credits.
