Morph The Cat : Revisited

I recently purchased the Donald Fagan LP Morph the Cat. Man, I believe this is the best sounding rock LP i have ever purchased (at least one of the best). I saw a post a while back in which some posters felt that the LP was a disappointment in that it had no top end to it, and that it was bass heavy. I found that with a small VTA adjustment, the top end sparkles without losing the tight, deep bass. I love every song on this LP. It is much better IMO than the recent Steely Dan LP's. Anyone else have any thoughts on the sound of this LP?

I own the DVD-A, so I can't comment directly on the LP, but I believe the DVD-A is outstanding. I'm wondering of you also own "The Nightfly" (which I also own on DVD-A), and if so how you believe the two compare?

Not really on the sound but I do think it is better overall than the last two Dan albums.

Morph The Cat better than Everything Must Go?

Not in my opinion. Morph is however a great album.

No, I do not own Nightfly. Is the music as good as Morph the Cat?

If you have bever heard Nightfly, you owe it to yourself to try and find a copy and take a listen. I own an original copy of the LP, and would love to find a newer copy, myself.
Donald Fagen and Steely Dan have always been a favorite, and I listen to the Nightfly album frequently.
There is a DVD of the Two Against Nature tour that really shows sides of Fagen and Becker. The video is a little rough in places, but the music is fantastic.
I own Morph the Cat on CD, so I can't comment on the LP.
But I love the CD.
Enjoy!
