| This album is over 30 years old but remains one of the greatest jazz-rock albums ever made. If for no other reason buy it for Larry Carlton's too good to be true guitar work. |

One of Steely Dan's Best Albums

| I recently bought The Royal Scam along with two other dan favs Katy Lied and Pretzel Logic. I have to say that this album is fast becoming my favorite. I own all of Steely Dan's quote classic albums and in my opinion The Royal Scam has it all. All the tunes are perfect creations melding rock guitars jazzy keys and horns with phat R&B and funk grooves. By this time the bands sound had definitely changed from the early 70's sound of Can't Buy a Trill & Countdown. I would say that Becker & Fagen where feeling the influence of funk and disco into their rock sounding stuff, check out "The Fez" my favorite tune and probably the funkiest groove on the album. I actually like this album better then Aja. Also the remastered version sounds awesome! the drums and bass are really fat but clean and clear and the vocals are a thing of beauty,perfectly sung and blended and expertly recorded and mixed. If your new to Steely Dan this wouldnt be a bad place to start cause the whole album jams with intensity. I can listen from start to finish. |

| If you are a "Dan" fan you will probably get all their older works remastered, if you haven't already. This is done well, but I felt it sounded a bit compressed, it simply did not have that "live in the room sound" that the Aja remaster did. Will you be disapponted, no, so go ahead and get it. |
