Steely Dan's third studio album, "Pretzel Logic" contained the biggest pop hit of their career, "Rikki Don't Lose That Number," and put the band back on the radio
Becker and Fagen invited prominent Los Angeles musicians into the studio for the recordings, but then only had them record occasional overdubs
Drummer Jim Hodder got a role as a background singer and was replaced on his instrument by Jim Gordon and Jeff Porcaro
The songs on "Pretzel Logic" are shorter than on its predecessor, "Countdown to Ecstasy." Steely Dan considered this the band's attempt to make complete musical statements within the three-minute pop song format
Content-wise, it's all about nostalgia, lost love, and floundering in creative processes
One of the distinguishing features of "Pretzel Logic" is the use of unusual chord progressions and unexpected musical twists
The whole album's intricate arrangements showcase the band's musical prowess
