Aja is Steely Dan at their slickest and most obsessive, blending jazz chops, studio perfectionism, and impossibly catchy hooks into a record that somehow feels both laid-back and insanely precise. From the smooth glide of “Peg” to the dark, cinematic sprawl of the title track, it’s the sound of a band firing on all cylinders and refusing to waste a single note. So… is Aja one of the greatest albums of all time, or just the ultimate example of immaculate ’70s studio rock?
