souljacker by EELS

i seem to remember many of the people on this board like EELS…
what do ya think of the new album?

when it first came out they were saying it was all ‘hard’ and everything, and while it’s a bit edgy-er then previous stuff, i wouldn’t say it’s ‘hard’…

teenage witch, bus stop boxer & women driving, man sleeping are standouts for me at the moment… the later being the best…

I was really fuckin’ surprised! It is so damn good!!!
Only the Title track, Dog Faced Boy and What Is This Note? really rock. Its just really great! My favorites: Friendly Ghost, That’s Not Really Funny, World Of Shit, Souljacker pt.1 and Bus Stop Driver. And the samples E uses are sooo wicked!

I saw them at Reading, wasn’t too impressed, songs didn’t seem too good and there was zero audience participation, the one thing the lead singer did say to us was, ’ Oh come on we practised that for ages!’

Yeah, Souljacker is pretty groovy. I’m about to buy me an Eels Album, so can anyone tell which one’s the best to buy first.
Stupid question, I know, but I like the songs Souljacker, Last Stop…, Mr. E’s beautiful blues and Novocain for the soul.
Would be really thankful if someone gives me a hend here.

Hihi…buy them all…that’s my only advice. Well you can’t go wrong with Beautiful Freak. Everyone seems to love that one. My personal favorite is Electro-Shock Blues.

I don’t really like the eels that much but I thought that video with the carrot guy in it was amazing.

I used to really like eels but their performance at Reading, like White Psycho said, totally put me off… It was bollox!

I like Eels from time to time. I love beautiful freak, I like Elektro shock blues, I hate Galaxies of the daisies (or whatever the album is called), and I really like Souljacker. Espacially Woman driving, man sleeping.
Btw, check out the song ‘Fucker’ if you can find it. It’s great…
cheers.

Maaaaaaan! I wanted to buy souljacker from the day it came out but no job=nomoney so I couldn’t. But this week I got a job in a record shop and so not only could I afford it, I got it cheap. And is it fucking great? Why yes it is. I went to Leeds and they were also disappointing then, but I saw them at the Barrowlands last week and they were amazing (including a cover of get ur freak on by Missy Elliot). I think when it isn’t their gig and the crowd aren’t there to see them they get subdued and intimidated which, although disappointing, is understandable. Eels, we salute you.
