Album Notes & Community Reviews

Boasting their highest-charting hit 'Rikki Don't Lose That Number', Steely Dan's third album saw them abandoning full-time band dynamics for their trademark perfectionist studio rotations. 'Pretzel Logic' is a beautifully warm, wonderfully eclectic pop-rock triumph, matching remarkably mellow, fiercely melodic jazz-rock instrumentation with deeply sarcastic, highly playful urban storytelling.
