Everything Must Go (Steely Dan album)

Everything Must Go is the 9th and most recent album by Steely Dan, originally released June 10, 2003. It was Steely Dan's second album following their 20-year studio hiatus, which spanned from 1980 through 2000. Everything Must Go was released three years after their Grammy-winning and certified double-platinum release Two Against Nature.

Received to mixed reviews and lackluster sales, it is the only Steely Dan studio album not to have been certified at least gold.
