Back in 2024, I took the opportunity to revisit some of my favorite albums to celebrate 1,000 listens. This was #3.

Royal Scam is to Steely Dan's discography what Here, My Dear is to Marvin Gaye's -- extra potent, extra sharp, but somehow the epitome of their whole artistic project. Very, very big fan of this.
One of those albums that doesn't announce its greatness to you in a big, booming voice, but lets you discover it slowly. Really, really solid stuff.
Some outstanding atmospheric work on this album, like an exercise in musical architecture. The end result is a nice, middle-rise, mixed-use residential block with community grocery stores and delis on all the ground floors.
Is it lifechanging? Not really, no. Is it still a John Coltrane album? Absolutely.
One of Mayfield's better projects, a great couple of classics that get their message across without overstaying their welcome. Super, super pleasant.

If you ever give me a time machine I'm bringing a Beats speaker to 1750 BC and getting these Babylonians to scream m.A.A.d. city.

Any album I've given 100 to is a contender for my favorite, but these ones here really speak to me.
