The long wait clearly sharpened rather than dulled their instincts, and Bernie Grundman's direct-to-DSD remaster for Analogue Productions pulls every layer of those impeccably arranged sessions into sharper relief than ever before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo Against Nature - Steely Dan's Grammy winner for Album of the Year!The brilliance of Steely Dan on Hybrid SACD from Analogue Productions!Newly remastered from the original analog tape by Bernie Grundman direct to DSDHoused in a super jewel case boxTwo Against Nature brought Steely Dan renewed commercial and critical success. Their first studio album after a 20-year hiatus, the album was released on February 29, 2000. At Metacritic. Com, which assigns a normalized rating on a scale of 100 to reviews from professional critics, the album drew a 'generally favorable' average score of 77, based on 13 reviews. Writing in March 2000 for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau applauded the music as an excellent 'rock comeback' and a 'jumpier and snappier, sourer and trickier and less soothing' iteration of the jazz pop featured on Steely Dan's 1977 album Aja, describing it as 'postfunk. ' Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic appreciated the 'sharp humor' in the lyrics, but was especially impressed by the music's 'depth and character, ' as he observed 'nearly endless permutations within their signature sound. 'Acoustic Sounds is honored to reissue the Steely Dan album catalog in a way that best shares the group's unmistakable sound with decades of devoted fans. Each Hybrid SACD reissue in the Analogue Productions Steely Dan Series is newly remastered by Bernie Grundman from the original master tape direct to DSD. The result is more sonic punch and more expression captured from the tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGaslighting Abbie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat a Shame About Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Against Nature\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJanie Runaway\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAlmost Gothic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJack of Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCousin Dupree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNegative Girl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWest of Hollywood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 753088014161\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Analogue Prod.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.2.22\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e CD\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Broadtime","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48600451645595,"sku":"493876","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/relix.shop\/products\/steely-dan-two-against-nature-cd","provider":"relix.shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
