Rated 8/10

For my final Steely Dan album, i really enjoyed Can't Buy A Thrill. This one was a little bit inconsistent when it came to good songs and meh songs but i found that the good was heavily outweighing the meh here. The jazz rock fusion on offer works very well as it does in all the other Steely Dan albums i have looked at. Some of the songs on offer were a bit forgettable but the majority of them were incredibly fun trips and felt very relaxing while still having that incredibly funky vibe. I would not say that it is completely perfect as there were still some meh songs like i mentioned but overall, i enjoyed my time with this album and i am gonna miss listening to this band for this project.
Best Song: Change of the Guard
Worst Song: Do It Again
Side note: Like i said, Last Steely Dan album, the rankings are here:
1. Countdown To Ecstasy
2. Can't Buy A Thrill
3. Aja
4. Pretzel Logic

Rated 8/10

Great time. Seems more like pop rock than jazz rock, though.

Also, the shirtless guy on the cover is so distracting!!!

Rated 6/10

Some of the best songs in Steely Dan's catalogue, but also some pretty weak ones. This album is frustratingly inconsistent. Still overall enjoyable though.
