Who'd have thought it !!
I don't know - it doesn't really seem right - the urbane always in control Mr Becker whose albums (solo or with Steely Dan) are always so immaculately produced doing reggae ! I mean reggae for God's sakes - and dub reggae too probably the "sloppiest" music going. It just should not fit - except it does. And it fits very well indeed.
I don't think, as many other people who have reviewed this CD obviously do, that Becker and Fagen are the be all and end all of music (go on tell me that's because I'm not "sophisticated" enough)but as Steely Dan they made some good albums and individually they have done the same. I still prefer "The Nightfly" but there again I have lived with that album for many years.

Music : 11 Tracks of Whack
What a hugely neglected gem of a record this is! It's a wonderful album, which I don't recall ever seeing any promotion for. I came across it about a year ago, while perusing the Becker/Fagan back catalogue. The 5-star reviews are spot on and well deserved. Pity the guy who took it back to the shop. You've got to play it more than once sometimes! It's a stylistically varied album, into which Becker throws a bucketful of contemporary musical references - even some ethnic chanting in the fade-out of Surf and/or Die - mostly within a tight blues/rock framework, together with a couple of excellent groovy blues ballads more akin to the Steely Dan material. As for what you may read elsewhere on this site about his ability on the guitar, I'm sorry, it's ... Read More:

9.Brooklyn by: Walter Becker
February 20, 2003
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Brooklyn
That the musical partnership of Donald Fagen and Walter Becker had talent to burn is demonstrated on this fascinating and occasionally affecting 22 track compilation of pre-Steely Dan material (essentially demos and semi-professional recordings). Some of the tracks are very sparse, with only piano, vocals and bass, but the quality of the tunes shines through. The tracks that feature an early band show the beginnings of the jazz/pop sensibility that would be the hallmark of the Steely Dan sound. Amazingly only a handful of the tracks herein turned up on later Dan albums (Barrytown, Parker's Band, Any World, The Caves of Altamira for example), whereas the rest of the songs (many of which are fantastic) fell by the wayside and only resurfaced years later on compilations such ...
