I'm all about heart. Some of the best lyrics are simple yet heartfelt to the core.

I hooked up with a now famous person a really long time ago who loved the Eels album from '98. She listened to it all the time.

I bought his album in 2003, with a black cover, and tried to listen to it, but just didn't, well, it didn't find me.

Respected both albums I heard, just neither were albums I'd ever play.


that's shootenanny... that's my least favorite. still damn good album, but don't write them off until you have at least 5 spins with electro-shock blues. especially if you really read the lyrics. it's one of my top 10 albums of all time.

the matter of fact simplicity of his lyrics i think is what makes it cut so deep.

How does the rest of their music compare to "Novocaine for the Soul", because that's the only song I've ever heard from them and it's really good.

The music sorta reminds me of Beck at times. I really like that album you sent.

Yeah people often mistake his voice for beck. He also does a lot of looping and sampling like beck. Overall I'm more of an Eels guy than a Beck guy. Let me know when you need another Eels album. If you tell me what songs you like on it I can give you one that will most likely go next. Electro-Shock Blues is by far one of my favorite albums of all time. Easily top ten.

Have a good time with it, Ryu. Feel free to talk to me about it. 8) I'll suggest any later unless you would rather have windedsailor's word which is COMPLETELY understandable.
