Underrated album: Sonics AND Music


Listening to this CD this evening it struck me that this might be the most underrated CD I have, from both a sonics and music point of view. I bet everyone has a go-to album that needs more respect.  Mine: Rosanne Cash— Rules of Travel.

Steely Dan "Two Against Nature". I don't think there was a single single from this album.I'm pretty sure it got no radio play. And while none of the songs rise to the popular level of their other hits, from a sonic, SQ, production quality standpoint it is the best CD I have.....though my CD library is small.
Walk around your workplace and find someone who can name a song from "Two Against Nature" or even the album for that matter, spin the radio dial all day long and see if you hear a song from the album, ask any earbud wearing millenial if they've ever even heard of Steely Dan.

So yes, audiophiles know about it. SD fans know about it. But that's about it.

And while I agree with the Best Engineered Grammy since it is one of the best engineered CDs I've heard....that isn't exactly a big deal for anyone but the engineers....and Becker/Fagen.

wtf, underrated is another one of those very open descriptors. In a broad sense when I think about underrated I mean among the general public. That will mean a very different thing among knowledgeable audiophiles....which is probably what the OP intended....so my bad.
wtf, no problem at all. Its all about hearing different opinions and different ways of looking at stuff. Point-counter point is a great way to clarify things. Its all good.

And in all honesty, I wasn't aware of Two Against Nature until about a month ago. ;-)
I think the word underrated is overrated and the word overrated is underrated.
