Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Cite This Source

Everything Must Go is an album by Steely Dan. It was originally released June 10, 2003. (See 2003 in music). While the album was well-received, it was considered an inferior followup to Steely Dan's 2000 critically acclaimed release Two Against Nature. It has gone platinum in America.

The album features a more unified feel than Two Against Nature, and has been described as sounding more like a band playing together in the same room. Walter Becker plays bass on all the tracks.
