album listens #88 - gaucho - steely dan

 

far too sexy for its own good and far too sexy for steely dan to be making music like this. not entirely sure how to feel about this one, i really love parts of it and other parts feel like it doesn't really understand what it's doing, then about halfway through i started appreciating the sort of empty space that is left in the middle of verses. to me the empty space is where the soul of this album resides, which is not necessarily a bad thing? it's not something i've ever really heard a project do before and it only makes the more melodic aspects stand out. i think this one will take some more listens to understand if i like it or not

FAVOURITE SONG: Time Out Of Mind

RATING: 7/10 at the moment
