This album really blew me away, it was the first eels album i had bought and since then i have thier complete works including Mr E. This album has such a range of music from souljacker part 1right through to What is this note? you get a full rollercoaster of music. Its just great listening. The guitar, thought not difficult, is very catchy in most all songs.
Some of my friends discredited eels saying that it sounded too much like a drum loop. While i can inform you that many effects, looping and synthesising is enlcluded in almost all of the Eels work, they do have a drummer. I have seen them live and they are amazing. Mr E is just as mysterious as he comes across.
My favourite choice of songs is the two soul jackers parts, world of sh*t and fresh feeling. I really don't think you can go wrong with this album.
My advice is buy it, because if you don't like it then im sure there will be somebody in your family who will love you forever if you gave them this album for their birthday!
The Eels use totally original styles and mixing to create a whole new style of music and as if this album isn't ground breaking enough they manage to continue this originality throughout all thier albums, truley excellent.
