"Everything Must Go" is the most recent album by Steely Dan, originally released June 10, 2003. It is Steely Dan's only studio album released since their Grammy-winning and certified double-platinum 2000 release "Two Against Nature", but it has not achieved equal recognition. It remains Steely Dan's only studio album not to have been certified at least gold. The song "Slang of Ages" is notable for being Steely Dan's first released studio recording in which Walter Becker performs lead vocals (co-leader Donald Fagen being the group's usual lead vocalist).
