Editorial Review
The last of the truly classic first four Steely Dan albums, the 1975 Katy Lied also sounds like the best. While retaining a solid rock foundation, the music finds Walter Becker and Donald Fagen engaging their jazz influences more successfully than ever; Fagen's piano fills alone are some of the most impressive music laid to tape in the 1970s. The songs, too, rate with the team's very best, whether coolly anticipating global financial collapse ("Black Friday"), celebrating the legacy of a mob-hit victim ("Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More"), or letting the Dan's guard down with a pained three-minute survey of life on Earth ("Any World [That I'm Welcome To]"). --Rickey Wright

Not their best but still a damn sight better than most. This is the album when Steely Dan lost even the pretence of being a band and became a vehicle for Fagen and Becker and their choice of session musicians.
`Black Friday', `Rose Darling', `Doctor Wu', `Chain Lightening', `Any World', are all great songs but there's a couple on here that you can't help but feel wouldn't have made it onto their first 3 albums.

the only steely dan album we didn't have on cd, so had to have it, sounds just as good as the first time round
Rating: - Speaks for itself..
I love this album and had never owned it as a C.D. This was very good value.
Rating: - A 1975 Classic!
"Katy Lied" is one of Steely Dan's great classic albums ( OK, they all are!) from when they were still a real band, and not "just" the Becker/Fagen duo.
The Becker/Fagen aim for perfection is very much apparent here. Great production and playing. Inspired songwriting and dark thought-provoking lyrics.
Most tracks are incredible catchy and melodic; especially "Rose Darling" and "Everyone's Gone to the Movies" are likely to "hit" you the first time you here them.
The opening track "Black Friday" is a surprisingly heavy track ( for Dan!!) that sets the scene right from the very beginning.
Like always there is a great variation in rhytmths and styles, but this is never a problem because everything is done with great artistic skill.
My first version of the album had a slightly "woolen" sound, but on the 1999 re-mastered version the sound is perfect.
A 1975 Classic!
