i think it's Fagen's voice, more than anything else. it did change, maybe as confidence grew? -not for the better, as is often the case when a singer's confidence grows... but also,
can't buy a thrill was Fagen on lead for only a couple tracks, countdown a few more, some co-leads... then more and more until it was pretty much only him by royal scam.
another thing is although their arrangements didn't necessarily get less creative, the detail within them very much did. the overall sound got slicker, but the nuances of each part diminished.
i feel like every subtlety was considered in making the first 2 albums, then gradually they relied more on just the basic composition and the sound quality.

... but also, i don't quite agree with your theory. it may be the case when you want to evaluate something; but not the case when i want to evaluate something.
... and, every time anyone evaluates something there are variables. there's no escaping that fact.
- but most importantly, why's Bach an exception?!
Bob Brainen:
Most bands/artists you don't like you just ignore, you don't bother wasting negative energy railing against them.
But this band beings out such strong feelings in people and the hate seems absurd and singular to me.
And it's not just Albini, this has been an ongoing thing and I find it puzzling, to say the least.
Of course, it makes those of us who dig them just dig in our heels.
Plus there's been a pro S.D. phenomenon happening in response lately.

pretty much opposite!
fortunately for some of us we have the capacity to like things that nare quite different from each-other!

The Bach example was a bit of hyperbole. There are some artists one imagines one could listen to 24/7 without exhausting one's attention.

coel: I binge, too, on an artist or a composer. And I enjoy doing comparative listening to, say, different quartets' renditions of the Debussy. But as a method for study, there are risks to using binging.

i felt the need to divide steely dan up -5 albums in 4 sessions over 5-6 days.
had to do that with Emerson,Lake & Palmer too.
