Our Review

Steely Dan's third album, Pretzel Logic is a transporting work of dazzling accomplishment, which is another way of saying it's really fun to listen to. From the opening notes of "Rikki Don't Lose That Number" to the closing blues funk of "Monkey In Your Soul", this is a brilliant band's best album, more fully realized than anything they'd done up to this point, and not quite as over-produced as the albums that would come later. It's here that Donald Fagen and Walter Becker, still living as paupers in L.A.'s Laurel Canyon in the early '70s, came up with the perfect hybrid of brainy jazz-pop and exhilarating melodies.

Customer Reviews

Steely Dan's most accessible album (4 stars)
Their third effort, 1974's Pretzel Logic will offer its listeners much more than the radio hit "Rikki".

Any Major Dude is a nice acoustic straighforward pop tune, we hear throughout the w

The best they ever did (5 stars)
While every one i've ever met seems to think that aja or goucho or can't buy a thrill is steely dan's best album i have to completely disagree. this is the best for the simple reason that it has an incredible number of great songs. Rikki, Night by night, any major dude, pretzel logic, barrytown, etc. its got all you could ever ask for from steely dan

Their best (5 stars)
Steely Dan's 3rd installment embraces a more funk and blues feel. The most interesting factor in Steely Dan's music is that each CD seemed to embrace a new form of music (Cant Buy a Thrill was 60's rock-esque, Aja was very jazzy and lounge-esque, their more recent stuff is electro) However, Pretzel Logic is easily the best out of all their records. From the very start, with the island bongo style opening of Rikki, to the funkish raw guitar f

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...
