1. Good Choice!

Same people played on this as the Aja album.
I enjoyed the movie too, though it's ending is formulaic.

2. I don't think they did a clinker. Like the Beatles, I can listen to Steely Dan all day ...

... same with any combination of CSN&Y, Temps (Motown, period) ...

Artists who knew how to arrange and produce well written music.

4. Same Here

And they knew all the great players so every album is impeccably played.
Back around 25 years ago, I was in LA for work. I went out on Saturday, so I had nothing to do Sunday.
I drove to Vegas to see the Star Trek: Next Generation Experience at the MGM Grand.
Was done early, so I took a walk on The Strip looking for lunch.
At the Luxor, I hear a band playing & go over there.
They were a Steely Dan tribute band, playing at noon on a Sunday.
Those dudes were GOOD! All good players all good singers. Seven piece as I recall, because they had a sax player, a multikeyboardist & a piano player. Then 2 guitars, bass & drums.
They were called The Regal Grift, an clear take on The Royal Scam.
I stayed for almost 2 full sets.
That extra 100 minutes got me behind all the SoCal traffic heading home. So it took almost 2 hours extra to get back. It was worth it. Those guys were excellent.
