Re: Eels

Souljacker is also really good, rougher, less dreamy..

I really don't like the Souljacker album. Every time I play it I realize this is where E went horribly wrong.

Re: Eels

I really like Eels a lot when I was 15-16 years old, totally forgot about this band.

Re: Eels

This new album End Times isn't so good. Didn't live upto my expectation or maybe i had expected higher.

Re: Eels

Yeh I was rather disapointed with end times at the same time i think it captured the break up style album he wanted.

I'd like to pay a bit of a homage to E actually. Never has an artist managed to mix depressing lyrics with upbeat music in such a decieving manner. That may be what gets me the most about eels. The lyrics add another dimension their music. Absured beauty found in few other artists.

Here's a personal favourite of mine, as much poetry as lyrics (now lets try and work out how they embed on here)

Picked up Beautiful Freak at a collectors shop on Saturday at a bargain price - best couple of quid I've spent in a while With the exception of Susan's House, which I really don't like (but I know plenty do), I don't think there's a bad track on there.
