Specifications:
...That assessment makes sense on first listen, thanks in large part to the disc's cool, jazzy grooves, but it really sinks in once the dark -- sometimes ironic, sometimes simply twisted -- impact of Fagen's allegories kick in. Morph the Cat is drenched in the imagery of death, a specter that hovers over the protagonist of "The Night Belongs to Mona" (a suicide waiting to happen) as well as the band that meet their ultimate demise in the angular "H Gang." And while Fagen doesn't underscore the thematic darkness with quite enough in the way of prickly sonics, it is a pleasure to hear his band kick things into high gear -- with some surprisingly heated guitar and harmonica riffing -- on "What I Do," an imagined conversation with the ghost of Ray Charles. But if most of Morph the Cat's edges are more buffed than frayed -- and on songs like the buttery "Pagoda of Funn," that's definitely the case -- remember that Brother Ray himself was quite comfortable wrapped in similar fabrics. And who'd dare argue with that? David Sprague, Barnes & Noble
