I'll go for that one then. I'll post back in the near(ish) future with my thoughts on it.

The Eels are an amazing band! Beautiful Freak would have to be my favorite album. Susan's House, You're Lucky Day in Hell, Last Stop: My Town, Novocaine, and I Like Birds are the best songs; if you haven't heard any of them listen to them NOW!

I know most prefer their earlier stuff, but I really have a soft spot for Blinking Lights... I thought it was a cleverly written, often moving double album, and just as worthy as anything else in the Eels canon....

I have half of Beautiful freak and Daisies of the galaxy. So far I'm not impressed, especially with the latter...:\

I never understood what all the hype was around Novacaine--it was a rather boring. But, 'My Beloved Monster' was incredible. If you really sit down and listen to the lyrics, they are ingenous.

Electro-shock blues is also a great CD that I've been meaning to go out and buy. :\

The Eels do kinda have a subdued brilliance to them.... you gotta hear their stuff a few times before it all really sinks in sometimes...I didn't get alot of their music, I admit until the third or fourth listen....

I just got Electro-Shock Blues and love it. Anything else I should check out?

scottsy · 05-25-2009, 09:15 PM

Seriously, anything by them with the exception of maybe Shootenanny! is really great stuff. Shootenanny! was just a bit too plain jane rock for my liking.

My order of liking:

Electro-Shock Blues
Beautiful Freak
Souljacker
Blinking Lights
Daisies of the Galaxy
Shootenanny!

Electro-Shock Blues is my personal favourite, the second half of the album is utterly brilliant.
