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.

Rating: - katy lied - steely dan

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!
