The Royal Scam

by Steely Dan

The Royal Scam cover art

Arguably the most guitar-oriented and cynical release in their legendary catalog, Steely Dan's fifth album is a darkly humorous exploration of seedy urban characters. 'The Royal Scam' weaves remarkably sarcastic, drug-fueled lyricism into flawlessly produced, highly technical jazz-rock, yielding a wonderfully mellow yet fiercely rhythmic, deeply melodic masterpiece.
