Souljacker - Eels

It hasn't been long since the last Eels album Dasies Of The Galaxy, Which although was more upbeat than the previous Electro Shock Blues album it was still quite down tempo. The Eels are back with there most happy sounding album yet. From the first listen I was not as instantly impressed as I was when I first heard there other albums, but its more of a grower. I do like the album, but can't help but feel a bit disappointed by it. There are one or two stand out tracks like the superb Fresh Feeling which samples the strings from Selective Memory (a song on the last album) which is Eels at there best and really should be the next single.

Daisies Of The Galaxy - Eels

a strange mix of styles: folksy, bar room blues, jazzy rhythms, even music that sounds like a theme tune from children's TV. But overall, it's so distinctive, that the Eels only really sound like the Eels, to me. "The sound of fear" reminds me of Nirvana or the Pixies, but I can't really say why; "Grace Kelly blues" has a Tom Waits style brass section, and there's a kind of They Might Be Giants feel to the whole thing, but I think that's just because it's so varied. And it's very American - if you know what I mean. There are some excellent songs on here, with "Flyswatter" and "I like birds" among ...
