Countdown to Ecstasy is the only time Steely Dan played it relatively straight, and its eight songs are rich with either musical or lyrical detail that their album rock or art rock contemporaries couldn't hope to free to Steely Dan Countdown To Ecstasy Bodhisattva, Razor Boy and more. 8 tracks 41:09. It was recorded at Caribou Ranch in Nederland, Colorado, and The Village Recorder in West Los Angeles, California. Although it was a critical success, the album failed to generate a hit single, and consequently charted at only number 35 on the Billbo. Album 1973 8 Songs. Countdown to Ecstasy. Rock Dan 1973. Countdown To Ecstasy is upon us with another dose of mainstream rock & roll, restating the basic themes of Cant Buy a Thrill, but this time concentrating a bit more on the rocking side of their style, best exemplified by Reelin in the Years. Kicking off with Bodhisattva, they move out.

Countdown to Ecstasy is the second studio album by the American rock band Steely Dan, released in July 1973 by ABC Records. Like their 1972 debut album Cant Buy a Thrill, Countdown to Ecstasy has a rock sound that exhibits a strong influence from jazz. Other tracks showcase Steely Dans esoteric lyrics, exploring topics such as drug abuse, class envy, and West Coast excess. The band explore a theme of the United States following a Nuclear holocaust in King of the World , while Show Biz Kids satirizes the Los Angeles lifestyle. Musically, Countdown to Ecstasy is even stronger than the Dan's terrific debut, pushing the musical envelope with more complex jazz harmonies and intricate time signatures, and carrying their lyrics into even more shadowy realms peppered with sci-fi imagery and street-level slang. The songs are stunning, from the opening blast of Boddhisattva, a Zen boogie fueled by Denny Dias's and Jeff Baxter's angular, bopping guitars, to the postnuclear apocalypse of King of the World. Most true Steely Dan fans consider this album to be stronger than their first, even though it didn't sell as well at least not initially. And who knows why it didn't
