It was the year of America's bicentennial celebration, but on 1976's THE ROYAL SCAM, Steely Dan masterminds Fagen and Becker did not share in the exultant spirit of the times. The title track--a vision of fallen America from the point of view of immigrants--has a mock-celebratory chorus: "See the glory of the Royal Scam," which typifies SCAM's heartfelt cynicism. In their next two releases (their last), Steely Dan's sound would smoothen and incorporate less rock. This is perhaps their darkest record, and for a band known for its arch mixture of L.A. cool and ennui, that's saying something.
Guitar heroes were roundly worshipped in the '70s, and two of the record's standout tracks, "Kid Charlemagne" and "Don't Take Me Alive," feature incendiary axe work by Larry Carlton. Interestingly, both glorify outsiders: The former tells the story of legendary drug chemist Owsley Stanley, and the latter is a first-person account of a murderer on the lam. Other highlights: the crisp "Green Earrings" the lounge-chair funk of "Haitian Divorce" and the inscrutable "Fez," whose principal lyric is "I'm never gonna do it without the fez on/don't make me do it without the fez on."

Q - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Sleek, smart, deliciously cynical....Sounding like a million dollars and crammed with the low-life tales...[it] instantly raised the standard for sophisticated quirkiness..." Rolling Stone - 5 stars out of 5 - "Fagen and Becker assembled a talent pool composed primarily of jazz specialists who showed they could rock and swing all at once when so inspired." Q (6/00, p.131) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Sleek, smart, deliciously cynical....Sounding like a million dollars and crammed with the low-life tales...[it] instantly raised the standard for sophisticated quirkiness..."

Steely Danの76年作。従来のファンには申し訳ないところですが、実はヒップホップソースとして食い散らかされた事でも有名!カニエ・ウエスト「チャンピオン」で使われた①を始め、DJシャドウがネタ使いした⑨など、Bボーイ、サバービア界隈のクラブシーンまで、熱狂的人気の名盤である。

ジャケットは最悪ですが、内容は最高です。それは新譜としてレコードがリリースされた1976年の時から知っていて、いまアナログを聴く環境がないためになこれを購入した次第です。サブタイトルに、フィーチャリング・ラリーカールトンとすべきと思うほどのギターアルバムです。
