Poppier than Aja and certainly more yacht rock, Can’t Buy a Thrill may not necessarily be as transcendent an album, especially on the back end, but it still showcases Steely Dan at some of their best, with an unrelenting sense of jam, humor, and wit that makes their music undeniable and wholly unique.
