| Steely Dan – Your Gold Teeth II Lyrics | 12 years ago |

For 1975....way ahead of its time. The complexity is a precursor to Asia. There is no doubt in my mind that once Jeff Porcaro joined in these sessions it moved the band in direction of more complicated time signatures which are still difficult to figure out. Essentially 6/8 with cut off 6ths in this chart to drive the beat and keep the listener off focus...looking for the next point. The driving beat is a hallmark of TOTO...without the intricate lyrics. I can listen to this album for hours...as I am doing now enjoying a a nice cigar. I would imagine Fagan was enjoying something else during the composition process. |
