Our Review

After reviving Steely Dan for a string of concerts in the mid-Nineties, Donald Fagen and Walter Becker officially ended their twenty-year hiatus in 2000, with the release of Two Against Nature. Unbelievably, Fagen and Becker have lost none of their taste or technical expertise. The album picks up exactly where Gaucho left off. The duo’s fusion of jazz, pop and rock is as precisely rendered and spotless as a figure of fine glassware. Even better, their lyrics have become more incisive with age. Rather than pursue a simple nostalgia trip, Two Against Nature follows a cast of characters, who, like Fagen and Becker, are reuniting and reexamining their former lives. The names alone are priceless: Bobby Dakine, Madame Erzulie, T-Bone Angie, Janie Runaway, and Anna de Siecle, to name a few. The album’s theme of love misplaced and inevitable loneliness is epitomized in “What A Shame About Me,” in which a former flame’s invitation to a hotel rendezvous is met by abdication: “I said babe you look delicious / And you're standing very close / But like this is lower Broadway / And you're talking to a ghost / Take a good look it's easy to see / What a shame about me.”

Customer Reviews

Two Against Nature Come Out Victorious (5 stars)
Steely Dan weren't finished, they just wanted to take about twenty years off. A brief reunion turned into a tour, and a tour turned into Steely Dan's first album in twenty years, "Two Against Nature". The title perfectly reflects The Dan's situation, as they seemed to beat the odds, come back with a great album, and after two losses win the Grammy for Album Of The Year. The production is slick, polished, and precise as ever, takin

Some of their best! (5 stars)
Been following the works of Fagen and Becker since the early 70's. This album absolutely proves they are still on their A game. In fact, it may be their best work yet!!

Favorite band (5 stars)
They're dope, I used to listen to this album when I was a little kid. Now I'm a young up and coming rapper that's influenced by this great work. I love it..

Biography

Most rock & roll bands are a tightly wound unit that developed their music through years of playing in garages and clubs around their hometown. Steely Dan never subscribed to that aesthetic. As the vehicle for the songwriting of Walter Becker and Donald Fagen, Steely Dan defied all rock & roll conventions. Becker and Fagen never truly enjoyed rock — with their ironic humor and cryptic lyrics, their eclectic body of work shows some debt to Bob Dylan — preferring jazz, traditional...
