Thanks! I see you and I have some similar tastes. I don't know what it is about American Beauty, but the album is so damn alluring. Literally every song is a classic. On nearly every "classic" album I can find at least one song that is a bit weak, but not that one. Also, nice Steely Dan nod, although I think the title track carries the album too much. I'm more partial to Katy Lied, but that's more for sentimental reasons than anything else.
